Review: BuWizz 2.0 for LEGO Train Builders

[@urkm]

Nice that you also included one of the crashs :D

[@ElisaArllyne]

Ties, I don't know if when you were using the app that if you select a slider or button it has a "toggle rev." tab, so.. maybe you can reverse your engine(s) with that.

[@ElisaArllyne]

Oh nvm I just read the description.

Fantastic video… do you by any chance have instructions/a studio file of the TEE-train that you could give out to me? I really love the design and id love to implement the technics of the front into my builds. Greetings Manu

[@Tiesproductions]

Hi Manu, I don't usually share the stud.io file or make instructions for my builds, but I actually uploaded the TEE to the BrickLink studio gallery: www.bricklink.com/v3/studio/design.page?idModel=204980. There should be a link to PDF instructions in the comments there as wel. The model on BrickLink is a slightly older version than the one in the video, but the nose section has basically stayed the same.

@@Tiesproductions tysm for your quick response!

[@TheBrickNeighbor]

Thanks for the video. So it doesn’t stay in one speed? I really like to start the train, put the controls away, and grab a beer 😅

[@Tiesproductions]

You can, but then you can only go in one direction

[@TheBrickNeighbor]

@@Tiesproductions a great.. I’m definitely trying this. Also because i’m planning on some inclines at my new layout, and I’m hoping this will have a bit more power then the normal battery boxes..

@@Tiesproductions 3:40 There is an option called "toggle rev." to add a reverse button.

[@Tiesproductions]

@@Bu-Mu Didn't know about that option, thanks! But even then it seems you stil have to exit the "drive" mode and go back to the controls layout every time you want to change direction

[@Bu-Mu]

@@Tiesproductions There is a minor problem with the reverse button. You have to accelerate a bit to activate the reverse button. Once its enabled you can use it.

Can you control and run multiple trains with Buwizz bricks with one phone at the same time?

[@Tiesproductions]

Unfortunately not, at least not with the default BuWizz app. If you exit out of one of the profiles to select another one, the BuWizz associated with that profile wil disconnect automatically, and the train wil immediately stop. It may be possible using a 3rd party app, but I have not tried this myself so I don't know.

[@apexmoto9610]

Honestly, have you seen the prices the original PF hubs (8878) are going for on eBay? They cost about the same (and that's used!). I'm going to buy a Buwizz 2.0 to power my Son's Emerald Night that I got him for Christmas. The lower profile means I can completely enclose it in the tender so it's not visible, something you can't really do with the original without redesigning the tender. And as you point out in your vid, I wont need that IR sensor either. I do prefer using actual physical controllers though rather than using phones or tablets, but oh well 🤷🏽‍♂

[@WollesKlemmbausteinEisenbahn57]

that´s fantastic..this MOC of SBB/CFF TEE-Train is very fine and beautiful. Sorry, my english is no good. MG.f. Wolfgang from Gera👍🤣👍

[@DartLuke]

is it possible to use lego bluetooth controler?

[@Tiesproductions]

I don't have a LEGO remote to test with, but I don't think it's possible
