[@Idk-eq1ex]

Fun fact: The Shinkansen was so fast and loud coming out of tunnels that it was creating sonic booms and was becoming a real problem to people who lived near the tracks. The company who made it wanted to fix this so they put a team together to fix the problem. One of the engineers was a birdwatcher and noticed that the kingfisher bird had a specially shaped beak that allowed it to smoothly cut through water. He showed the rest of the team that and they remodeled the nose of the train, and the problem was gone. There were no more loud sounds whenever the train came out of tunnels.

[@SimonBauer7]

one other thing they did was to make holes in the top of the tunnel exit allowing the air thats being pushed in front of the train to vent out the top.

[@wai0937]

I’m amazed at how much you two continue evolving your quality despite already setting such a high standard. My mind was blown at the technique used at 6:17. You’re approaching god-tier status at Lego YouTubing.

[@leokimvideo]

Very impressive build on the steam train. It's sad that Lego don't take their current Lego trains seriously. Back in the 80's and 90's the Lego Train System was a proper train system with all the correct bells and whistles. Todays Lego trains always feel like they are made to a price and are usually lacking the stuff that makes model trains awesome.

[@JasperHuskyFox]

As a Canadian, I'd say your CN GE ET44AC looks wonderful! Love how you sculpted it with the limited width you had! Keep up the amazing work! :)

[@GodmanchesterGoblin]

I absolutely loved this. A few comments if I may... 1, Lego trains can get very expensive, very quickly, as I am sure you've realised. But they're completely worth it in my experience. 😊 2, Jacob's bogies look great, but for Lego trains with many curved tracks they rarely work well. Due to the tight curves, the rolling resistance of a single bogie with a longer wheelbase, maybe 4 or 5 studs between the axle blocks, will be significantly higher than that of two short wheelbase bogies where the axle blocks are adjacent or only one stud apart. (Try rolling the bogies down a straight slope with a long curve at the bottom.) 3, A secondary problem is that true Jacobs bogies have the pivot points for both carriages located at the centre of the bogie. With Lego implementations that is almost impossible to achieve and the pivot points end up being several studs apart. This is in part due to the tight track radii placing the carriages at significant angles, creating clearance issues on bends. The result is that carriages with Lego Jacobs bogies still tend to move laterally relative to each just as much as with conventional bogies when moving through S shaped bends, such as those created when using the turnouts. 4, For smoother running of bogies with metal axles, a tiny drop of silicone base lubricant on each bearing surface in the axle block can make a big difference. I have used lube sold for Rubiks Cubes (for speed-cubing) with good results. It's designed to be safe with plastics, compared to conventional mineral oils. Please don't take these points as criticism, though. Rather, I just want to share what I have learned, having already gone down this path. I always look forward to your future videos.

I have to say it, probaby someone said before. There is a great formula in this channel for a Lego Masters team. Lego love + Lego technical ability + team work + organisation + storytelling! + willingness to go out of comfort zone. I don't know that kind of exposure is in your alley but it would definitely grow the channel. In that scenario your only weakness might be perfectionism, I dont know. I don't know. This channel became my favorite lego channel.

Thanks! We did just rebuild the Polar Express and the cab is a tiny bit higher now!

[@TrainGodismoreactivehere]

what i love about this vid is a few references that railfans like me might notice. - Canadian National Decals on the Freight Train. - Polar Express - The JR 700, (the livery on it was possibly inspired by the Rail Star Livery) - San Francisco Tram also there's a slight error at 10:46 the locomotive seen in the sketch is actually an FEF Design by the Union Pacific. Not a Berkshire design. but beside that error the polar express model did come it pretty well, even though with the incorrect sketch.

@Legomaker1245 no he’s right, the rest of them look great but the engine on the steamer is god awful… also don’t be so derogatory he could be a master builder and you don’t know. Yes, he was a little blunt, but not wrong. Steamers are an art form and are hard to master correctly, and for a first time, this isn’t bad. It’s not god by any standard, but it’s not awful. It’s just too tall, wide, the arch is unnecessary, and bulky. The wheel train and tender are great though.

[@NorthandSouthLineR.R.]

Well, technically, I have one Lego steamer but it’s not the best, so yes, I can agree that making steam locomotives can be difficult. Also, if you want to see the Lego steamer I have, well she appears in a couple of videos of mine (I’M NOT PLUGGING MYSELF)

They're all incredibly cute and creative, especially since you've done them all freehand.

[@KennethBouman]

The 3 wheel bogey assembly is particularly inspired - I would love to hear about how you came up with the design, and iterated toward that particular solution!

[@jmaster2855]

I first remember coming across it while seeing the build for the Orient Express that just came out, sure it's been around a while though in the moccing community.

[@eggybricks]

Thanks so much!! We started with a straightforward Technic version (using train-wheels-with-axle-holes on a Technic axle going through two adjacent Technic plates-with-hole). This worked, but didn't have /enough/ friction - it would slip around whenever we moved the train around, which was annoying. (Plus using Technic in an obvious way is never our favorite solution, but that's a personal bias.) So we tried brick-building the slider, with door rails in bricks-with-groove. (We really like this part combination - we also tried it for sliding doors in the metro, and as a fun way to attach the side detailing on the Polar Express, but took both of those out in later iterations.) This had the lateral friction we wanted (and felt fun). Then just iterated on different ways to constrain the axle laterally, hold the assembly together, and attach to the train body. (Plus after that, to make sure we actually liked our solution, we tried a few other versions with weirder brick-built and system-plus-Technic assemblies. None worked well for the bogie, but we might use them for mechanism in some buildings later)

[@supsnail]

It's my first time watching this channel and I have to say that this is so high quality!👏 You are both so skilled and creative. My favourite is probably your metro or the polar express.

6:36 you can also use a normal technic motor and some gears to have 3 axles but powered. middle wheel needs to be without flanges, using plate round 2x2 and the fitting tile round 2x2 with a hole in the center.

[@eggybricks]

@SimonBauer7 Thanks so much, this is a great point! We tried this briefly (using a modification of the design from Railbricks issue 6), but decided we didn't want to sacrifice any of the body shaping to fit a Technic motor + geartrain in the body. (We got really attached to our tapered radiator cab.) Maybe we should try again though!

As a train lover and someone who loves designing Lego trains, I love that you based your trains on real trains The GE ES44 or evolution series is not quite proportioned right though At 6 studs wide and 9 foot 11 irl The train would need to be 43 studs long (73 feet irl) yours is only 32 studs long making it subby looking but other than that i love the design i would have never thought to put the battery in the cab The Polar Express is also comically short the tender is almost as long as the train The designs look really good keep making great Lego content ❤

[@roknovak9991]

Incredible work! The fact that you designed multiple stunning train models from scratch is such an amazing feat of design and engineering! And the engineering techniques that went into making it all work on such tight radii is amazing. The only critique I would give, is that it would be even better, if you somehow managed to get the stickers to only cover a single piece, instead of multiple. Lego also used to include multi-piece stickers in old sets, but I believe they abandoned this approach in the 90s. That way the pieces can be disassembled without removing the stickers.

[@eggybricks]

Thanks so much for the kind words!! Good point! We agonized over this, but in the end we couldn't accept the compromise of having the design broken up (if we used a bunch of smaller stickers piecewise) or using bigger pieces that weren't shaped ideally (to make the piece size match sticker size). (We were probably influenced by not loving the way the Gringotts Bank sticker in 76417 looked) It's a really good point, though, and someone else might make a different tradeoff! We know we're particular in our own way

Very nice layout. Even without the 3D-printed Trixbrix infrastructure.

[@marktegrotenhuis]

Your hills in the track layout are horrible. For two reasons: 1. Always put the supports at the joints between track pieces. 2. Start and end the slopes gradually. The best way is to start with one plate, then a brick and continue with adding bricks. At the top of the hill add two plates instead of a brick before reaching the highest point where you do add a brick. Before going down again, make at least one piece of track level. However, I know that building slopes like that is nearly impossible for small layouts like this one, because a hill with a height of just one brick already takes up 5 track pieces.
