The articulation on those parts is so smooth. Its really an impressive build! Using a SNOT technique and plates everywhere to keep it smooth, but only having studs where the rivets and bolts are on the real thing is a genius idea.
I wish my Dad and I could have seen this together. He and I spent time in Green Bay at their railroad museum seeing the Big Boy there many times. We also saw the working one when it came to Milwaukee as well. He loved to talk about this locomotive. He passed just over a year ago. He would have loved this.
I bet the cheyenne depot would love this. As for getting it beside the real locomotive I guarantee if someone could share this video with Ed Dickens that might be able to happen
Six years of labor and million of Lego parts... this thing would have a greater value than the original (not adjusted for inflation) cost of the original locomotive.
I hope this thing is full of easter eggs, even if we never get to see them. Like two minifigs shoveling studs into a tiny furnace somewhere on the inside.
I saw this at Brickworld Chicago. The size is very impressive. It's hard to fathom the number of pieces and the amount of time that had to go into this build. And I was very impressed by the use of studs as rivets, in the correct pattern. There were a lot of aspects of this build that I couldn't quite figure out how he did with Lego.
Oh great, now I need to go out and buy 300,000 bricks. I wonder if Lego has plans to sell this one in there stores, LOL !!!! What a work of art, such talent.
This is so far beyond SHIP building we AFOLs need to coin a new acronym for it, because “Seriously Huge Investment in Parts” is seriously inadequate to describe this thing. This is at the scale of the sculptures at the Legoland theme parks, except the parks’ huge creations aren’t 100% LEGO, they’re welded steel frames with LEGO exteriors. This thing is 100% LEGO including the inner structure, which massively increases the part count.
Seeing and feeling the real 4014 will always be something very special and romantic. I rode the 2021 season excursion in New Orleans, my son filmed us departing from Audubon Butterfly Park and he said the ground shaking was one thing, but being showered by cylinder cock steam was something he will always remember from that hot August 22nd in New Orleans. Trust me, it was well in the high 90’s and being showered in steam felt refreshing to him he said.
Nifeliz has it. It's not LEGO, but they won't make it. 1800 pcs for 70$. I'm building a lot of stuff that's not LEGO because of the content and price. All sorts of actual military, trains like the Bog Boy, jets, tanks, (T28 Heavy Tank, 2900 pcs, 120$).....The quality on these other brands has improved enough that I believe it's well worth it. Don't freak out, I'm just not a brand guy so I don't have to stick with LEGO, although I did play with them all thru the 70's and 80's till now so I respect the company.
Im suprised that he managed to bring it to the lego museum being it 20 feet long i made a Lego big boy train set in july and finished in july 15 i took lots of breaks because I didnt have the motivation and was 1,604 something peices and its just chilling next to my bed sometimes I accidentally step on it
Nifleiz has it for $70. 1800 pcs.. If it were Lego, well, how much are kit's with 1800 pcs? I have the Lego Saturn 5. It has 1969 pcs and it's $229 on Amazon. So the Lego Big Boy would be at least $200, probably a lot more.
Now that's a Lego Big Boy at the price of at least twice or three times the amount of bricks., $$$$$$$$$ 900,000 to 1mil. Do you intend of building smoe freightcars for it ? No wonder black,white and grey Legos are so hard to get.
That fact that it can actually roll is the most impressive part to me
It's suspended above the rails.
This needs to be in a museum somewhere holy cow 😮
ABSOLUTLY AGREE
The legendary Union pacific big boy. Amazing.

Sorry for your loss
I bet the cheyenne depot would love this.

I have sent it to him, it may take him a bit.
They have a wooden version of 4014 or 4005 there and it's really impressive.
Even the riveting using the studs is so smart
Definitely needs functionality (lights, smoke, sound & motors) to bring it to life.👌
Wow!! How awesome is this. So much talent 🎉
Awesome!!!! Another great train build at Legomanufaktur!
Incredible. It would not surprise me if either the Lego Museum or the Union Pacific would try to purchase this model.
I think Union Pacific would try and buy it

Excellent job! The Big Boy must be the best and most reliable steam locomotive to ever be built and have a great amount of strength
Wowza! That’s one big, big boy!
Thats a lot of bricks ❤
And a lot of money!
It was amazing to see in person.
I got to see this thing in person! It's absolutely incredible.
Amazing! Thanks for sharing even if you didn’t have to! This could’ve been easily underrated so thanks to BTB for highlighting it.
If he ever made this move under it's own weight, this'd be the most impressive lego build ever.
this build has now the legend-status for me.

Holy cow, very impressive
This is plain insane. I love it!
Given all the attention to detail that went into this build I wonder if it’s also articulated in the middle
was NOT expecting the wheels & valve gear to move!! 😯
What a beauty!
Fantastic!
Awesome ❤❤
WoW. That is amazing!!
This is awesome! :D
that is amazing!!
How come this never got a genesis award it should have one
I don’t actually NEED this, but I NEED this
Absolutely amazing!!!
Superb modelling
Insanely amazing build. This guy is a genius. It's perfect.
Incredible
Fun fact there’s an anime featuring the BigBoy it’s Called The Galaxy Railway
Ive watched it its a great anime
so cool :D
This has to be the largest lego train and it is a model of one of the largest locomotives ever.
Oh great, now I need to go out and buy 300,000 bricks. I wonder if Lego has plans to sell this one in there stores, LOL !!!!
What a work of art, such talent.
For an extra car, the water tender with the flag would be cool to see added onto it. Jim Adams I think it's called?
...as the people from Lego stand there rubbing their hands in glee!
Short but sweet, wonderful animation. It speaks to the power of this art form that you can bring simple pieces of paper to life.
are you on the right video
Nice railway video, Like!

I wonder what the axles are made of that it's rolling so smoothly
It needs a loop of track to run on!

Wow, what a build! I kind want to make that lol.

@@1972Ray Oh okay! I have a lot of Legos and I try to build things that are train related. Thanks for telling me about that brand!
@@zenontrainstrucks9433 I use Amazon.
I wish someone would make western Maryland shay no 6 the largest logging steam locomotive made by lima locomotive works
Im suprised that he managed to bring it to the lego museum being it 20 feet long i made a
Lego big boy train set in july and finished in july 15 i took lots of breaks because I didnt have the motivation and was 1,604 something peices and its just chilling next to my bed sometimes I accidentally step on it
Did you say accidentally stepping on it
HOLY COW
😮 WOW
Ok Lego, make this set! How expensive would that be?!?! 😃😛
Nifleiz has it for $70. 1800 pcs.. If it were Lego, well, how much are kit's with 1800 pcs? I have the Lego Saturn 5. It has 1969 pcs and it's $229 on Amazon. So the Lego Big Boy would be at least $200, probably a lot more.
@@1972Ray based on $200 for 2000 pieces, the big boy would be $30,000 😮😬
Imagine .ego produced this as a kit, for many who has everything.
Wow! 😃
god, i want to build the DMIR Yellowstone now
there should 100% be a Lego Scale train running around the Tracks the 4014 is sitting on for scale lol
Nice 👍
Positively stunning! How much did it cost? Must weigh a bunch. Legos are heavy.
That's a ... big boy.
Please let me know when I can buy one like it ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ it in a kit
It may take me six years but I'd love to have a blueprint to build this myself 😂
Someone needs to show Hyce this
Yes, make a flatbed and put a Lego train set on it!
genius
Where is this located?
Can you build a polar Xpress 1:01 1:04 1:05 1:05 1:05
Can it move?
Since it has functioning couplers, it needs another car to couple to!
so he made a miniture guage engine.... nice
He forgot the big boy part on the front
That looks like it is slightly bigger than 1.5" scale.
You can buy it right now, it's just not a Lego kit.
Now that's a Lego Big Boy at the price of at least twice or three times the amount of bricks., $$$$$$$$$ 900,000 to 1mil. Do you intend of building smoe freightcars for it ? No wonder black,white and grey Legos are so hard to get.
🤗😍👍👍👍👍✌🏻✌🏻😍🇵🇱
No words……
Make it bigger
that wouldn't fit in my room and my room's huge.
800 leappad
1300 leapster
Cest quoi son poid
i will purchae ho much
d
A normal person with any common sense would just build a real one! Yikes!
Complete waste of time!
This looks illegal
Shame he built it on UK style track. An American locomotive should be on American rails. America is the best but this implies British track is better.
whats the difference in track? is it like how wide it is?
If you didn't zoom in, this legit looks like one of those tiny trains you ride around for kids
