INFINITE Train Track! Lego Technic

After some experiments the "Infinite Train Track" works pretty smoothly. This is actually part 1 of 2 because I will also build a Revolving Background. The prototype is working but I still need to order the posters for the background. Stay tuned for more extreme train videos!
==================================================
Welcome To: Lego TECHNIC TRAINS.
There will be a lot more fun videos coming because I just started. If you want to help spread the idea of Technic Trains, like or subscribe! Thank you!
For almost all of my Technic Trains you can find building instructions at the links below.
Train track is made of Technic Beams and is 9 studs wide and 2 studs high. Trains are 11 studs wide and some parts 13 studs.
Wheel Modification is required, see my other video.

[@minibattleship]

Have you thought of angling the platform? This is useful for testing locomotive performance on an incline or testing brake system on decline. How many wagons can your locomotives handle on a 10% grade for example?

[@minibattleship]

What is the maximum incline angle for a single locomotive before the wheels start to slip? Another example.

[@legotechnictrains8999]

A couple days before I made this video I thought about extending legs so there will be an incline. Maybe in the future I will try it.

[@Truckphucker5000]

Who cares its a train its not cool like every other motorized vehicle

[@aggrodriver]

@@Truckphucker5000 Nobody asked.

[@briscott]

@@Truckphucker5000 SHUT UP!!!!!!!

[@nilsbabcock7686]

I'd love to see the background being a synchronized Lego built scrolling terrain.

[@briscott]

I hate it when people hate a youtuber's video they worked hard on but your the youtuber that deserves respect for your builds

[@legotechnictrains8999]

thanks!

[@Waffles_Syrup]

I think you should add a distance sensor to the moving rail so that if the train is too fast or too slow, it will adjust the track speed accordingly.

[@notcooper339]

That sd40 goes hard af 🔥🔥🔥

[@theswedishpanda]

That hand car is super cool!

[@jossdeiboss]

Wow! You were able to come up with something I have always had in my mind since a kid! It could be amazing if you plan to shoot LEGO "movies" or to display some moving mechanism like on steam engines.

[@niels8096]

O wauw what a great concept. Imagine this set up, with the possibility to (in)cline the tracks and all that with a moving background illustrating a beautiful landscape passing by the train. Add some music and a camera and you have a movie 🎥 🍿 Thanks for the great video. Greetings from the Netherlands 😊

[@adakalyoncu1913]

I think you should add small contact points under the car, and little pins on the pieces of rail and also make it go upwards steeper than the train would've been able to go otherwise, and use the conveyor belt rail to assist the train up steep hills, like a roller coaster lift hill

[@toainsully]

It's like a treadmill for LEGO trains

[@user-ux4zp8lw9e]

I'd love to watch this whole day

[@micke3035]

The 500 looks like a beast, looking forward to the video!

[@MrBob636]

Wow! I didn’t even know Technic trains were a thing! Awesome!!!

[@saika4043]

this is the awesome stuff that would sell but LEGO doesnt understand their own product anymore, all they now know is Licenses and brand-products awesome work!

[@gp5313]

Gorgeous

[@TriglavRC]

Awesome showcase. Little addition - kind of courtain to hide/cover „return” belt so it won’t distract from the main attraction and it’s perfect.

[@oldcargeezer]

That's a fabulous model.

[@gtament]

I suggest building several revolving backgrounds to create parallax effect

[@legotechnictrains8999]

would be nice of you could add a link to a good parallax effect background site

[@user-sl2rh3wi3d]

Wow!!! Great Job! Amazing!

[@Edward-pw6zz]

geweldig idee! echt leuk gedaan! het is ook altijd fijn om de robel te zien :)

[@indyjons321]

I clicked on this video, and instantly the Thomas the Train music started playing through my head.

[@BijJoost]

Its genius... love the build ! !

[@teamidris]

Oh my gosh yes 🙌 and what a selection of rolling stock :o)

[@nikcrook1874]

That was really bad ass! I’m really glad I stumbled across this video. Nice job on the SD40-2 btw!

[@Copterheld]

love it. great job

[@crazy9cube3d]

Nice roll-test-track. 👍

[@cal6747]

5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Genius, end off.

[@BatteryPoweredBricks]

Awesome!

[@Mighty-Man]

Cool. 👍

[@cm-ek4ci]

A big steam locomotive would look very nice with all that moving valve gear 😊

[@SirBoomNPew]

You should put a little bit of silicone oil on the joints of those technic figures so they can actually pump the hand car!

[@legotechnictrains8999]

The joints from my technic figures are still nice and tight so it's not going to work, sorry.

[@chill5730]

If Lego made technic train sets, I would go bankrupt!

[@MaxSupercars]

Great! One more hint (if you did not implemented it already): You can use ultrasound distance sensor from Mindstorms or so and program the controller to control the speed of the locomotive. When she comes to close to the end she will be slowed down and vice versa... 🙂 So she stands always approx in the middle of the test stand... 🙂

[@legotechnictrains8999]

Yes that's a nice idea. I don't have a distance sensor so I need to order one. I'm not very good with those codes so can you make the codes?

[@KPANG1128]

Great!

[@glowytheglowbug]

sick! this is really good

[@TTARM]

Very cool and interesting

[@Ibloop]

Basically a train treadmill

[@legotechnictrains8999]

that was name option 2

[@diyfireking]

Really professional. I really love your design 😍😍

[@Starfield6824]

It's like training wheels for train drivers hehe

[@____admin]

Your trains are so cool!

[@legotechnictrains8999]

Thank you very much!

[@Beyondmagichaarlem]

Cool😮

[@gamerdrive5565]

You should’ve had the Lego guys on that cart holding the handles so they were getting sent would’ve been hilarious.

[@SaperPl1]

Really cool idea. Reminds my of my VRML project in university where I did an infinite train diorama. I wonder if you perhaps could manage to add some moving railroad details to those moving tracks and made a mechanism that is controlling varying speed of the train.

[@legotechnictrains8999]

Thanks. I was thinking of another long tread track and turn it sideways so I can attach beams vertically. Then I could build moving overhead power lines and poles. That should go between the track and the revolving background that I will also add. I just don't know how to add the vertical tread without needing a lot of parts.

[@SaperPl1]

@@legotechnictrains8999 How about making the overhead power lines actually static, the string to be static , but the poles would constantly pick them up as they go? I wonder if this would look good, because depending on the speed this might move the string too fast Also that would need to be faked somehow while being opened up from the side...

[@LEGO.Nik-Ok]

Good video thanks 😀

[@Ailtir]

Have you ever heard of the plane on a treadmill problem, it'd be interesting to implement something like it here with a propeller powered vehicle. Might not work well unless you can get the friction low enough though.

[@Unknown-ky2jj]

Yeah this is actually very good for testing train performance and what not

[@ZentinS711]

Actually these "wobblings" makes all this thing alive!!!😅🙈 And, btw, infinite escape of two poor guys from locomotive at their six - would be really hilarious footage to record 😅😌

[@ivoryfields2631]

very nice! cant wait to see you having a bit of a season 1 thomas the tank engine and friends vibe in the next videos! heh

[@robertboemke9614]

That thing is like people who let the heating fight against the air conditioner.

[@arthurconanrus9801]

Классная идея!

[@legotechnictrains8999]

thanks but write in English please

[@erikjohnpotvin]

Lookin forward to seeing the SD40-2 in action!! Does Technic make green pieces? Would love to see a BCOL livery!

[@legotechnictrains8999]

I had not seen a BCOL before, but looks like I need to make it because the red white and blue are exactly like the Dutch national flag haha. There are so many SD40-2 color schemes!

[@hensli]

I don’t have any Lego trains but I might have to fix that. It would be cool if you could automate it to the point that you could leave the looping track on and the train would automatically drive forward to remain centered.

[@michalvallo5051]

great job. it`s the story train from rick and morty

[@falin9557]

You can use a PID controller to make the train stay in a point without the need for a string

[@T34tankrussian]

if you put a chassis on top of all that you have a TOG II tank, it would be nice to see that.

[@bobbymckechnie7572]

Build a pull along steam model and use the handcar system, maybe

[@zonoskar]

I wonder how scratched up those tiles are going to be after some use.

[@legotechnictrains8999]

they were already pretty scratched when I made the video, but I put some silicone oil on them so you don't see the scratches

[@starflight_wof39]

will there be a train ferry in the future tho

[@legotechnictrains8999]

Of course!

[@thebekmanz]

Maybe they'll make a train on a train 😮

[@diatonicdelirium1743]

This is just so wonderfully useless ;) Thanks for posting this, made my day!

[@legotechnictrains8999]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@themightyhood-4117]

For a second the thumbnail made me think it was a Lego U-boat, then I saw the title lol

[@legotechnictrains8999]

There are some really cool Lego Technic submarine videos on youtube.

[@DingusDoge]

Unless you dont have much space, a normal track would do just fine, or you could buy ANOTHER train set with the price of these materials

[@ashleydorsey2538]

(suggestion) make an articulated mallet steam engine

[@johanrosenberg6342]

Cool! But what are trains without switches and multiple tracks? Except space efficient that is.

[@legotechnictrains8999]

It's to keep them fit and in shape!

[@liamstrains1]

You should make some instructions on some of your train, so that other people can build them

[@legotechnictrains8999]

I guess you didn't look in the show notes. Check: rebrickable.com/users/Technic%20TRAIN%20Man/mocs/

[@fehanmaintung1819]

You should make custom made tank tracks with real Lego suspension that ables to go throught dirts

[@berndtreichenbach1615]

80 dB terror

[@JonathanChan212]

You can test a high speed train with this now lol

[@JohnCoffins]

Where do you buy your bricks? For example the tracks

[@legotechnictrains8999]

I usually buy parts on Bricklink, but in this case most parts were from a M1 Bridgelayer I bought on Aliexp. The tank tracks I also bought on Aliexp because they worked better than Lego. That was an exception because real Lego usually always works better.

[@luca_der_gamer284]

Hi Egg, I love your building style with vanilla buildings and you teached me lots of things in this game that I can recreate on PS4. Thank you for your cool content! 😄

[@PandaHiveGaming]

you could theoretically use this system on the new collectors edition Hogwarts express

[@nottelling8129]

Was this inspired by Brick Technology’s LEGO suspension testing contraption?

[@legotechnictrains8999]

I am a fan of Brick Technology but I have not seen all his videos. There are several treadmills on youtube but I actually can't remember how I came up with this infinite track idea. Most of the parts are from a Lego M1 Abrams Bridgelayer Tank. I tried to sell it but nobody wanted it so then I thought of making this track treadmill. So good thing nobody wanted to buy it!

[@EVA-UNIT-13]

At first glance this looked like a submarine lol

[@balint_v]

wlc v100😊

[@ashleydorsey2538]

Now you can test engines!

[@jongab2148]

This can be used in movie

[@protoborg]

Seems to me you could tie the speed of the train into the speed of the track by using a single speed controller.

[@legotechnictrains8999]

but then I cannot speed up/slow down the train

[@edgarmatzinger9742]

And the use of regular rails?

[@legotechnictrains8999]

maybe it could work, I only need about 50x 3228c rails to see if a small brick train will be able to roll from one rail piece onto the other without derailing. I also need a lot of those new 89678 pins. I just checked and this will cost 30 euro.... so I will probably try it in the future haha

[@Akideoni]

Actually thinking of having a Lego train laying its own tracks while dismantling it after it left...

[@legotechnictrains8999]

me too 2 years ago but I have not try to build it... yet

[@user-nf2oe1uf4r]

Post more videos please 🥺

[@Xs2...]

It doesn't seem that the noise reduction is doing anything....

[@RMJ1984]

This is such a good way to sum up life.. What is your plan to expect the hamster wheel of capitalism?, can you break free of the confined track? xD

[@legotechnictrains8999]

The barriers at the front and back are laws and reason, so you don't go off the path....

[@scamhunter2346]

Am I the only one who thought the thumbnail was a Lego U-boat? Lol

[@zinjarich1963]

next time you do a video you should do it with a steam engine

[@legotechnictrains8999]

yes I will

[@DJgamer-sq5fq]

Make a longer one?

[@legotechnictrains8999]

Make a donation?

[@lucyzxc6400]

kzbin.infok89UOatgfnU in this type of build the only motorised part would be the train, but I predict in would be harder to curve the train tracks
