When LEGOS Sets are too Expensive, Make Your Own!

[@diamondbrixproductions]

Personally I still prefer the original UCS one just because it has more detail and I don’t really care about the tracks, however this one is amazingly good and perfect for tracks. Nice job!

[@matsv201]

Something positive about the UCS is that the value for money in terms of how much lego you get is really quite good. Its like 6-7 cent per pice, and there are plenty of big once

[@tld8102]

I would've made it 8 wide... but run on 6 wide lego track. It may look like the gauge seems a bit narrow but the detailed able to achieve on 8 wide trains are a good compromise

[@josephclarke5035]

I bought the new plans and only to spend $10.00 to get the bricks I needed after taking the other build apart. I like this build alot more, it goes around the track very smooth. thanks for the updated build

[@Larv6464]

Now this i can see myself buying because it’s actually affordable and still looks incredible!

[@TommyCBricks]

Many Thanks!

[@MilkDrinker218]

Amazing! My only real suggestion would be to make some gearing mechanism in the frames of the locomotive so that the wheels don’t jam, especially with its current siderods. You could’ve also used a technic beam between the locomotive and tender, I use it on one of my engines and it works just fine. Again, only suggestions, not a dig or anything, it looks amazing and I’m especially pleased with how you did the headboard on the front. Amazing model! -Milkdrinker218

[@DiagonalBricks]

So much better than the original, great job tommy!

[@MotivationalGrindForLife]

He didn’t design it but it’s cool

[@GodmanchesterGoblin]

Great build. But for the less adventurous, even the 2018 version benefits from a longer boiler (+2 studs) and firebox and cab (+1 stud each). For mine, I also moved the wheels apart by one stud to improve the look. I have a powered tender and also powered luggage wagon behind four extended coaches (+ 4 studs each with MOC bogies). I like the ideas in your motor carriage. I may take the plunge.

[@AStopMotionBear890]

If you get the real old Lego tracks (the kind so old you have to ensemble each pice of track pice by pice) you can just widen the track to make it fit.

[@sidneysun5217]

nice thx for the video! i'm attempting to build it using 2 sets of 75955, using the emerald night set as a reference for size. its working out pretty well. i like your design to fix the middle wheel of the tender, much better than my method of just slapping on a turntable lol. and for only $200 too. im sure i can get another 2 more sets for 2 extra carriages and still end up spending less than the UCS model

[@crystalzues4712]

This is good but going for the smaller city scale rather than using the 1:48 L gauge standards would've allowed for more space and more detail. Also the lack of a connecting rod is a downgrade from the UCS version.

[@gasderpo3984]

1:36 Name program please and where i can find this

[@abumpyridethroughscribblet4120]

Hello, are the instructions available to buy again?

[@KazudaXiono]

Awesome job mate! You should make the time train from Back to the Future 3 in this scale!

[@SouRwy4501Productions]

I wonder if it would work on my layout. It features one very tight turn and 4 turnouts.

[@nipph]

Since there is no parts list available before buy, can you tell how many extra parts would I have to buy if I buy 75955? (I have 60197 so I believe thats gonna cover motor, battery pack, rails and so on)

[@TommyCBricks]

if you have all the train parts like the motor, remote and battery its about £160 - £170 depending where you live

[@nipph]

@@TommyCBricks does it make sense to buy olde hogwarts express (75955) as parts source?

[@TommyCBricks]

@@nipph no need to buy any older models all the printed parts are on the part list

[@JCBricksAndBuilds]

Am I able to use the same parts from the original one you made to then make the 2nd version?

[@LegoWarriorInc]

Amazing as always! I was laughing my head off when you said the sponsor is Magic spoon as i was eating dinner and my spoon said magic on it 😮it was hilarious

[@DiagonalBricks]

Lol what a coincidence 😂

[@LegoWarriorInc]

@@DiagonalBricks yeah its so weird!!!

[@Salvacottontail]

Something: the damn name plate, is there any way to actually have it with the splasher

[@markolysynchuk5264]

Tender lacks some details and the loco to tender coupling isn't a correct one. They should be coupled closer and not with a magnetic one

[@biddinge8898]

you know what I wish someone did? I wish that someone made a entirely self contained wireless rc train bogie. it would be so easy to just make a train bogie that uses technic axles and wheels and is battery powered and remote controlled on its own.

[@kylestafford4975]

So I have tried to click the link to your shop to buy these instructions yet, it looks like your site is down. Could you update to a new link and or provide feedback on how to get the instructions for this beautiful MOC

[@TommyCBricks]

We are working on a new website at the moment should be back in action soon :)

[@gasonfeist7238]

Much better and reaches a far wider audience! If I create it, I will def use the dish. Good work

[@djsawesomebricks]

0:45 You could have used the older 12v track to let the train run without nodding the whole thing down to the city scale. (idk fully if this would actually work, but maybe)

[@TommyCBricks]

the new train doesn't go on legos track

[@lukejennings321]

Has anyone built this in alternative colours? Wondering if it's possible to get all the parts in different colours.

[@josephclarke5035]

Great job, do you give a discount if you already bought the 1.0 version?

[@Bradleygt86]

Fun fact the Hogwarts express was actually the flying Scotsman because it just sat outside on a military base because the owner did a tour around the United States and then he didn’t have enough money to ship it back so then universal borrowed it and repaint it and we have to take the wings off the side of the boiler Please give me grace I don’t know the technical term and used it as the Hogwarts express and they eventually shipped it back to the UK and they had to restore it because it was rusty it’s still running today

[@traintimeboy]

It actually fits on gauge 1 track

[@danielolondrizrosique1120]

I see that the instructions are not available anymore, where could I find them?

[@SharonDixon-lq6ez]

Hey how did you get the boiler?on bricklink 🤔🤔🤨🤨

[@RedMan-z3r]

I’m getting this instead of the original, cheaper and Dark red, motorised, probably still get the figures from the original though

[@mrolive68]

Strangely, my favourite part of the video was the ad. It was quite short but very entertaining

[@Kevcraft47]

This is an amazing model I hope I will be able to make this

[@TommyCBricks]

Thanks :D

[@crewcallco]

how come your store closed! was hoping to get my hands on your set design @tommycbricks

[@groundbreakinganimations]

Thank you for making this!!! It looks amazing! 🎉!!!!!!!!! You listened to me to make a Harry Potter vid!!

[@NCXDesigns]

Video starts at 3:07 - You'll thank me.

[@fox3missilevr965]

Put this up on the Lego ideas NOW!!

[@kawaii_kittengamer1119]

Good thing there’s a new hogs Meade station set with the dish piece. Still, better safe than sorry!

[@midnightmoonwolf7306]

2:42 Perfect, cut screen

[@snazzy8767]

I aint gonna lie that cylinder is WAY too low for my liking but overall its a nice upgrade from where you started 2 years ago!

[@Hacksworth_Sidings]

I think Lego may have seen this video, the 2023 Hogwarts Express has the exact same smokebox door (front dish) as the MOC

[@slushyking7549]

WAY better than the original

[@THECOOLSTAS]

I like the 2th train bi custom is easy to biuld

[@josharkanoff3678]

The website is private now?

[@angeltobes7892]

also ppl call the passenger thing coaches and some times carriage

[@The-Great-Misha]

out of curiosity who's miles? :P

[@CodeNameCarl]

And I would still spend the $500 cause now with less pieces the station wouldn’t be a joke

[@Themaidbawb]

I’d place the hogwarts express from the UCS set one it tbh

[@TheRealFeechLaManna]
