LEGO Train Mod | Emerald Night 10194 Modification Video (WHY?)

[@TheLegoRoom]

I made a mistake! The Emerald Night is based on the Flying Scotsman (not the Royal Scott)!! And steam trains have fire boxes, not fireplaces!! But you definitely have to mod around the power functions😂 👍 If you like this video please subscribe to my channel for more like it: kzbin.info 😀👍

[@Ace_DM_2520]

yeah the royal scot is a 4-6-0 not a 4-6-2 however i love the mod for the tender also they pull trains they are engines

[@TheLegoRoom]

NorthEastern Studios 👍 Must admit I had to look that up and now understand this is the wheel formation! Something I’ve learnt today - thanks 😂 And thanks for watching the video. I have since reset the set back to it’s official build (minus the motor/battery) for display purposes. Still my favourite set (official power functions addition aside) 👍👍👍

[@griffincypert2900]

Actually it’s based on the Tornado a peppercorn A1 ;)

[@TheLegoRoom]

Well you learn something new everyday!! I just googled that and yep that locomotive is virtually identical to the Lego kit! On the euro forums there is a thread that suggests the designers looked at all these engines and based it on them in general rather than a specific one. Either way still a great set and can’t believe still learning after this video 3.5 years later LOL!!! 👍

[@GJBricks]

Awesome mods! Guess LEGO was saving on bricks. Tbh, you’d never notice them. All so complimentary to the original design. I especially love the coal tender and coal effect! Ps. Thanks for the shout out 😃

[@TheLegoRoom]

Thanks GJ - that was the intention, to look like the actual set but remove the eye-sore power functions! :-)

[@sevzy7430]

Great video bud. Great to see your Master Builder awesomeness in action on your favourite set. You did a top job with the modifications - and even some real world train trivia!! ❤

[@TheLegoRoom]

Thanks bud 👍👍😀 really enjoyed modding this beauty though still can’t believe Lego’s poor job of motorising it!!! 😀😀👍

[@crazynachos4230]

Honestly I love the modifications they are very slight and I hadn't even noticed until you pointed them out, very well done

[@TheLegoRoom]

Thanks 👍 Such a beautiful set and still my favourite. Love the baby Yoda profile pic! 👍😊

[@cgbbricks6524]

Great modifications to the set, you wouldn't even notice them until you pointed them out, we are just starting to get back into Lego and recently got a spare room to host a little Lego City, one of our first tasks is to build a train yard, we don't have many yet but the emerald night is definitely one we want

[@TheLegoRoom]

Hughes Tube Thanks for watching and subscribing! I took a few years out of Lego but am now back forever! I subbed to your channel and look forward to seeing how things progress for you 👍 thanks again 👍👍😀

[@cgbbricks6524]

Thanks for the sub back, much appreciated... Yeh I left for many years, my son got me back into it and we now share the passion together

[@TheLegoRoom]

Same! LOL 👍 Now he’s moved on though to the lure of PlayStation etc and I’m still addicted 😂😂

[@RobinHullBuilds]

This is insanely good! I love this train. It’s so beautiful! I’m not a train buff, but it does remind me very much of the little trains of the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway. Thanks for sharing. Really very cool!

[@TheLegoRoom]

Thanks Robin 👍 I’m yet to find a more beautiful set 👍 and I know exactly what you mean 👍😀

[@scotty_blocks]

Excellent video, I'm a rail enthusiast and love this set. Your mods are well designed and thought out. Have subbed.

[@TheLegoRoom]

Construction Toy Dude Thank you for your kind comments and for subbing 👍 I believe everyone is a rail enthusiast, some people just don’t know it yet 😂😂👍👍 Marc 👍

[@TheBluenyt09]

Wow! That's a cool train! :D Just subbed btw

[@TheLegoRoom]

BlUeKn!gHt OfChAoZze thanks! This is absolutely my favourite Lego set. And thank you for the sub - I checked out your channel and subbed yesterday - awesome 👍

[@kelly7323]

Amazing set and I think tailoring it to what suits you is very creative! Nice job! X

[@TheLegoRoom]

Thanks Kelly 👍👍😀😀

[@josephd27]

Thats a beautiful train. I like it with the little modifications you made

[@TheLegoRoom]

Thanks - this is absolutely my favourite set - I hear they may be releasing another steam train set at some point - hope it will be as nice 👍👍😀

[@josephd27]

@@TheLegoRoom ya hopefully they make the modifications like you did here

[@Tekytek]

Great work on the mod. I've made mine from scratch and am just in the process of changing from the LEGO Train motor to the PF XL motor, so I'm keen to know how you actually did your mod as I really like the fact you kept the driver space and firebox door etc.

[@TheLegoRoom]

Making it from scratch - that is truly awesome! The motor part was the hardest as it was very fiddly - you will need to move everything up by two units - making sure he integrity of the boiler remains. Lots of trial and error. And don’t forget about extended the drivers cab by 1 (or 2) if you need to. Good luck and let us know how it goes 👍👍👍👍

[@adamb2619]

Im about to add a 9v motor to the tender and lengthen it by 6 studs long

[@TheLegoRoom]

Awesome - a 9v will really give it some power 👍 let me know how it goes 👍👍😊

[@Mievanable]

Well done, do you have the part numbers you added please?

[@TheLegoRoom]

Thank you Raymond 👍 I don’t I’m sorry - I have since changed it back to the official build for storage. I always regret not noting things down and paying more attention when I MOD and MOC things! 👍😊

[@thesimplebrick3863]

Incredible !!!!!

[@TheLegoRoom]

X. EPIC BRICKS .X thanks! This is my all time favourite set 👍

[@FlamilieKidsVidsFKV]

Cool train mod great work😁👍👫

[@TheLegoRoom]

Thanks for watching 👍👍😀

[@brickmissing8295]

IMHO better to go for a powered bogie and battery box in one of the carriages - so the engine and tender can be as per the motorless design. Also better to swap out those tan pins for black technic axles.

[@TheLegoRoom]

Thanks 😊 It was a long time ago I did this and I am pretty sure I had a go at putting the battery box in the carriage but couldn’t get it in without sacrificing too much space - of course, there may be better motor options around now rather then the old fashioned motors. And good shout on the axels! If I ever get back into Lego trains I’ll do that. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment 👍

[@BrickBakery]

The Emerald Night is a BEAUTIFUL train and I think your modifications are great and very respectful of the original design - that's quite a feat! I would love to have this train for sure, but I'm not sure I can get it over my heart to pay more than 300$ for a used set :-S Did you get yours when it was new? I rather enjoyed your video and I think you have done very well! Thanks fro sharing this and keep up the great work :-)

[@TheLegoRoom]

Thank you so much for you heartening comments BB 👍 I was lucky and got mine second hand from eBay a good few years ago for £150 with some track included - I had to sell some sets to raise that money though LOL 😀 I thought it may appreciate in value and so far it has so I consider it an investment - even though I modified it (I really can’t help but mod sets!) looking forward to your next live stream 👍😀😀👍

[@BrickBakery]

The Lego Room yeah, it’s quite expensive at this point. Seems like you were right! And thanks, I won’t stream this Friday but possibly next Friday :-)

[@BrickBakery]

PS: Would you be interested in making one of the interview collabs like I've been making with other LEGO youtubers? You can contact me on thebrickbakery(at)gmail.com :-)

[@TheLegoRoom]

It would be an honour B.B. 👍👍 I’ll message your email later on tonight 👍👍😀

[@ilikehistorysoimwatchingth1006]

Why does this look like the flying Scotsman

[@TheLegoRoom]

It is based on the flying Scotsmen! In my video I mistakenly referred to the Royal Scot! 🤦‍♂️👍👍

[@train-traum-madabouttrains5005]

You've done quite a good job! The tender looks with the black top quite better than with gray box. Unfortunatelly, it's one of the few sets still missing in my collection ;-o Did you bought it once in shop for a normal price or also so expencive on ebay?

[@TheLegoRoom]

Thanks bud 👍😀😀😀 it’s a really amazing set - my favourite. I bought if off eBay about 4 years ago - it was a lot of money but not as much as it sells for now. I hope you get it someday, it would be great alongside your other trains 👍👍

[@train-traum-madabouttrains5005]

@@TheLegoRoom Yes, that's absolutly true... Some time, it will work - I think, in the next 4 months, I will have the money. How nice would it be, have started it all only little ten years earlier... It would have saved so much money... Hopefulls, the future brings some nice trains again...

[@TheLegoRoom]

👍😀😂 yes it would be great to know which Lego sets will become so valuable and hard to get in the future!!! 👍

[@BlockHeadUK]

Gread mod. I think the reasons you mention were perfectly justifiable! I don't have this one but I must do a video on putting PF into my new Hogwarts Express. By the way, lounges have fireplaces but steam engines have fireboxes. 😉 Can't help it, I'm the daughter of a train spotter 😆

[@TheLegoRoom]

LOL - dead right on the fire box /place....I also said it was based on the royal Scot when it’s the flying Scotsman 🤪 a video on adding power functions to the express would be excellent 👍👍😀

[@BlockHeadUK]

The Lego Room LOL. All the trolls come out for the tiniest mistake 😁 Ok, will bump the HE video up the to do list a bit 😉

[@TheLegoRoom]

My Lego to do list is insanely long - I need to time travel to fit it around ‘real life’ lol 👍👍

[@BlockHeadUK]

The Lego Room I hear ya! 😁

[@BrickByBrick]

Nice Video, i do speedbuilds take a look. I get such older sets ;)

Thanks! I often find myself gazing at it wishing I was mini figure size 👍😀😜

... ha ha .. a very nice train... my subscription you have ....also like to look on my channel

[@TheLegoRoom]

Thanks for the sub, I appreciate it 👍👍👍👍

[@lilzo4406]

That must o taken ages to build😂😊 awesome😊

[@TheLegoRoom]

Thanks Lile - yes it took a while but was very enjoyable to build 👍👍👍😀

[@teddywoo4684]

Hey Lile thank you for watching the Lego room x😘😍🤗

[@mikaxms]

Your passenger car has the wrong baseplate. It should have square holes of 1x2, not 2x2.

[@TheLegoRoom]

Mika de Grote you have a very good eye! I will look into that - I tend to mod and change things a lot so I may of mixed it up I guess. Right now I’ve set the engine back to the official build but didn’t touch the passenger car since this video was made a year or so back - now added to the list to look into and sort at some point 👍👍

[@Gbricks]

Cool

[@TheLegoRoom]

Thanks for watching Elliot :-)

[@obrix5227]

Awsome! Personaly i wouldnt modify this train and also the locomotive is based of the flying scotsman.

[@TheLegoRoom]

The flying Scotsman! Of course - silly mistake...thanks for watching O Brix. I just couldn’t stand to see the motor on show. And I can’t help but modify Lego TBH!!!! 👍
