Thank you so much for all the positive vibes in the comments! I've never seen so much support on one of my videos before, and it means a lot to me. Let me address some common questions: This project has been the most challenging and intense video I've ever tackled. It took a solid two months to bring this video to life, with the first month entirely devoted to designing and perfecting the train. The concept for the train tracks was actually brainstormed by my friend Thomas. The printing process itself took another two months, with my two Bambulab printers running all the time. These machines are incredible and were key to finishing the tracks on time, unlike most printers, which just can't keep up. You can support me and order a printer via this link: shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=2282157&u=4247393&m=138211&urllink=&afftrack= I considered using Lego tracks, but the cost would have been astronomical-nearly 10 times more than my 3D printed version. Plus, I wouldn't have been able to customize the tracks as I did. Lego is always making new parts, so I figured, why not do the same? I'd really like to share the STL files for the tracks and wheels with you all. However, I'm hesitant for two reasons: Firstly, there's the issue of people selling STL files they don't own, which I want to avoid. Secondly, these files aren't ready to use right off the printer; they require significant adjustments, especially the switch tracks, and unfortunately, I just don't have the time to make them user-friendly. As for the cost of this video, it's a bit tricky to calculate since I used a lot of parts from my existing Lego collection and already owned one of the printers. But to give you an idea: - additional Bambulab P1S Printer: 750 Euro - 3D Printing Filament (18Kg): Around 250 Euro - Electronics: 100 Euro - Lego Parts from Bricklink: 600 Euro Needless to say, I'm not looking forward to the electric bill. Overall, I invested about 1700 Euro into this project, without any guarantee that my cats would even be interested in the train. Getting my cats accustomed to the train was probably the toughest part. They're naturally curious and playful, but anything new and moving can spook them. We took it slow, introducing the train in the living room and making it a cozy spot for them by playing nearby and offering treats only around or inside the train. Filming the train scenes took a whole week. There were times when the cats weren't feeling it, and other times they loved it but the footage didn't turn out. It was definitely a challenge, but our top priority was making sure the cats were having fun. This would’t have been possible without my fiancee. Regarding inspiration, while I admire “Half-Asleep Chris” and his work, this video has been in the pipeline for nearly a year, with the initial track designs starting in May 2023, well before Chris's puppy train video. I'm a big fan of his, but our approaches to Lego builds are quite different. That said, a video by “Target86 Design” did spark the idea for this train project. Check it out: ua-cam.com/video/MZpVSKgGFVk/v-deo.html A project like this is always a gamble, not knowing if the time and money invested will pay off. But fulfilling this childhood dream for myself and sharing it with others has been incredibly rewarding. I've never enjoyed making a video as much as this one. I love trains, I love lego and I love cats.
I am particularly impressed that you invested such an enormous amount of time, money, and engineering into something based almost entirely on whether or not a cat would like it.
Fuzzy my 30 lb Maine Coon she's absolutely massive she's actually 3 1/2 lbs underweight but she seems to like that way because she's been pretty consistently that late with plenty of food to eat for almost 7 years so none of us are complaining either way she absolutely loves when I build her crazy wacky shit kind of like this guy in this video except I made a actually good trained not one that's made out of crappy Legos personally I prefer 027 gauge American steam trains and have built custom carriages for my cat considering it is about 14 acres of track going around my 42 Acres of property she likes it to travel to specific locations and I have set up Raspberry pies to turn it into automated Precision scheduled railroading for my cat you don't even want to know how much money or time it took to do that and remember we do not own cats they decide to own us
Everything about this is amazing The 3d printing ingenuity, the technical accuracy of how a train works, the fact it's built for a cat, the tram like looks... I am astonished.
a huge range of design concepts and engineering disciplines combined in ways I can't truly comprehend: yes cats' disdain for it all unless lined with cheap cardboard and bribed with treats: oh yes
The train is amazing. So much functionality built in. I do appreciate that you gave up on using the doors as designed with the cats. I imagine they would jump at them closing.
I am usually impressed by the amount of engineering that goes in your contraptions, but the patience needed to get cats to do anything is even more astonishing. You're an awesome cat parent.
Oh, definitely. I bet he condensed days of convincing the cats to trust and ride his invention in just a few seconds of video, and even then the tan one only stayed as long as he got treats. That's life with cats for ya.
It's interesting not to just see the steps of the build, but also all the miss-steps, and why those solutions didn't work. Oftentimes, people think "Wouldn't it be easier to just...", not realizing that this has already been tried. Also, I love how it ended up sounding pretty much exactly like an actual electric train.
This is the wet dream of designers working for lego, that are stuck building cheap move-license crap. Impressive work! And the automatic cat feeder is the cherry on top :)
Im impressed by the amount of research you did. Your solution to coupling, decoupling, and making sure drawbars are aligned was clever. As a freight conductor, I know all too well how important it is make sure drawbars are aligned and cars are coupled. It is very easy for things to go very wrong if you aren’t paying attention. Well done.

Huh? Unknown? A train having tail lights is as normal as a train having headlights. At least for passenger trains. I’m pretty sure everyone assumes that trains have both lights without much thought.
there's no way the algorithm can deny this: legos, trains, cats. killer combo. also, this deserves an extra like for the extremely considerate disclaimer at the end!
Every single detail is so well-engineered. The coupling system, the suspension, the drive system, the lighting, the doors, and somehow this is all perfectly scaled and styled to replicate a train. Even the editing keeps getting better and better each video!
I think this has every chance of becoming an entirely new category of lego model trains. The engineering with the suspension and air systems is insane. And given its original purpose, I think it's only fitting it be known as C scale.
5:08 - Hahaha Gotta say, I've always gotten a kick out of how much this channel does with so little. No music, no talking, not gimmicks...good stuff, man.
As a train mechanic who just finished their education on train components. Its very fun and interesting to see a lot of components and features we learn about in our education made from lego. Its so interesting to see how you tackled making the components and make them work just like a real train, like your couplings and bogies were nearly on point! The electrical and pneumatic systems were used for the correct components as well which I found very nice to see. All in all for someone who I assume did not take a 1,5 year cource on train mechanics, you did a fantastic job recreating one. For lego this is a technical masterpiece!
@@albondI (incorrectly) assumed you were wrong, surely the plural form must be 'LEGOS' not 'LEGO'. So I Googled it...and this came up: "The plural form Legos is chiefly American. Other regions tend to use Lego as a mass noun, and refer to Lego bricks and Lego sets." 😂 It's always an awkward but funny thing when you think you're gonna prove someone else wrong, but prove yourself wrong. 😂 I don't understand why American spellings are so different. It's not the first time we (The US) took something that wasn't ours and made it our own (ruined it). 🫢😬
@@albond im not american and i use "lego" as plural in my native language but i use "legos" when i speak english because i picked up american english instead of other
as an engineering student, this is literally the easiest time I have ever ha understanding how coupling works, and I've had a class on that before, big compliment!
As someone who works on the railway for a living. I got to say I am truly impressed how accurate you got to the real thing using lego and 3d printing. The coupling in its basic functionality is spot on how the real one works!
I LOVE that disclaimer at the end and the fact you never let the trains go faster than a crawl. Far too many UA-cam channels seem to treat their pets like toys, to be manipulated and teased at will.
Comparison is the thief of joy my friend. Yes, we could all be doing a little better in some way or another, but we can't all be this guy, lol. Just do what you do and do it the best you can. That's all anyone can ask of you!
My first thought was "I want that for my cats" but then remembered that I don't have a 3D printer, and that my cats weigh at least double of yours (the smallest weighs around 7kg). I am impressed how willing your cats were to partake in your shenanigans
Sometimes you have to build a modern marvel of Lego engineering so you can watch your cat riding around in a train. Your kitties deserve the experience, people.
How to use cats and Lego to make people interested in, railroads, dispatching, electronics, electrical engineering, programming, design, aesthetics and more People truly see the justification for something when they see how it is more convenient, pleasing and overall ingenious Bravo
This is a tremendous achievement of Lego engineering, 3D printing, programming, pneumatics and electronics. However, my main reaction is OH MY GOD YOUR CATS ARE SO BEAUTIFUL. They are obviously very much loved and well cared for! My own cat used to enjoy going for rides on the kitchen trolley so it's possible he would have been readier to use your train. When my niece visited I sat him on the trolley and she pushed him respectfully up and down the hall.
Never thought that he will do it animal proof. They had a choise without him forsing them into the train. Well done for the train and the interaction with the cats.
@@TrioLOLGamers well if it had a roof, and they left the snack dispenser inside AND closed the door. Cat doesn't have choice but to enjoy snacks for 4 mins
This right here ticks all the box for a UA-cam video. From the creative perspective, knowledge perspective, technical and mechnical perspective, it just has everything. This person is so fortunate to have these 2 feline creatures inspire him to make them a lego train
This is amazing. It is very interesting how you roll up to an engineering problem and then provide a solution. This gives a much better insight into the complexity of the real world than only seeing the optimized end result. Thank you
As a Train fan, someone who is a volunteer trolley/tram operator irl, as well as a lego aficionado and cat person, this is truly amazing!!! This is the most realistic functioning lego train (or trolley or tram) I've ever seen! From the couplers, to the suspensions on the trucks, to the pneumatics, this is truly an amazing lego model! Well done!!!
The focus, perseverence, creativity and just absolute mad problem solving skills this dude has, is a huge asset in real life. If I was hiring an engineer, I would hire him instantly, regardless if he has formal training or not. Wow. So impressed.
This needs to be a Lego set! The motorized Axels, to the coupling mechanism and the tracks! And even automatic opening doors! And having patience to put the cat in the train is just fun to watch! Hope Lego hires you.

The coupling design was incredible to see working and the design. The right-angle track made me snort so loud I think my neighbor heard me. Such a cool concept to include the wheel design and suspension in a method and way that allows for the system to still keep a balanced load while going around turns and coming up to or coming down from speed. A great design all around, and the cats got extra treats!
Ah, I love it. The dedication you put into this is truly commendable. When you asked "will cats ever enjoy train rides", my first though was "well, with constant bribery..."
Enjoyed it tremendously. Lego Wizard combined with the Cat Whisper. The details and thoughtfulness and explanation provided great context. Helped me to learn and be amazed.
With the wheel slip issue, the Lego trains used to have rubber bands fitted to the drive wheels to help grip the track as well as grip tread to the outside rail and slip tread on the inside rail. Very well done. Big project. I read your description. Big indeed. Mark from Melbourne Australia
You are an amazing cat-dad, and a fantastic railway engineer. And your socks with cats are the best! It's great to see that also men can love cats like you do. Cats rule! 🐈🐱🐈🐱
Thank you UA-cam for recommending me this video out of the blue, this is sick. I didn’t come in expecting it but I have a great appreciation for all the technical aspects of your design. When you added the suspension I very quickly realized you weren’t just making some simple toy train lol
Congratulations for being so creative and sharing such great project, and also how you solved all the challenges! Lego should hire you as chief engineer of new projects!
What you could do (especially considering these look and function like trams) is install a small bell that rings when cat treats are dispensed. That way the cats would recognise the bell as giving out treats in the tram and then board.
The fact that this guy poured his heart and soul into a custom tram ride, when we don't even build the ones with the manuals, is amazing. Roud of applause for him, everyone.👏
I love the way you give advice about making it and how to adjust your pets to it as if every mere mortal could just whip up one of these astonishing trains. Cats aside, I've always wondered why there weren't bigger train sets for teddies and dolls. I suppose they take up too much room in the house. Well, my little dog Griffin would have been in one of those carriages before they were finished. He loved anything that went. He rode the broom when I was sweeping, the same with the vacuum, took turns around the garden in the wheelbarrow and was a reckless skateboarder. I cannot imagine how giddy he would have been with his own train. Thanks for a truly marvellous video.

@@albond im not american and i use "lego" as plural in my native language but i use "legos" when i speak english because i picked up american english instead of other
If u like this then u should def look at a UA-camr called half asleep Chris
I have never done this, but this video made me laugh and smile! Thank you Brick for always making great content😊
Thanks for the donation, happy I could make you happy:)

So wholesome. Made my day
The combination of engineering knowledge, videography, and adorable cats is impressive.
@@grizzers21 hghjhgy and it doesn't work as it's the same thing 😭😔😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Engineering, cats, trains and lego all in video? you win. That's all I've ever wanted from youtube.
There needs to be a youtube-essence award for that
Half asleep Chris is what that is lol
As a real train engineer working in Spain, I must say, this is co close to how train systems work in real life. And the cats are adorable.
Well done
The train bogeys and the coupling are insanely impressive!
Let’s see if we can make it fit a human
The pneumatic doors 🤯
The coupling is called Scharfenberg-coupling
12:25. Who else remembered how violently those doors close, and is staring at the cat's tail, waiting for chaos to unfold? 😂
as an engineering student, this is literally the easiest time I have ever ha understanding how coupling works, and I've had a class on that before, big compliment!
As someone who works on the railway for a living. I got to say I am truly impressed how accurate you got to the real thing using lego and 3d printing. The coupling in its basic functionality is spot on how the real one works!
5:08 that was damn unexpected and hilarious. Love how there’s always a bit of comedy in all of your videos, but this one really caught me off guard.
Yeah that joke was so well done it had me in stitches
The fact that he tired it, even for a gag, is just so funny to me
The minecraft minecart rail test
Im dying 😂
I LOVE that disclaimer at the end and the fact you never let the trains go faster than a crawl. Far too many UA-cam channels seem to treat their pets like toys, to be manipulated and teased at will.
Sometimes I wonder if I’m doing enough when I see extremely talented individuals like yourself
you are
Ask your cats. That is the only way to know....
😂
Comparison is the thief of joy my friend. Yes, we could all be doing a little better in some way or another, but we can't all be this guy, lol. Just do what you do and do it the best you can. That's all anyone can ask of you!
You do things to be happy.
My first thought was "I want that for my cats" but then remembered that I don't have a 3D printer, and that my cats weigh at least double of yours (the smallest weighs around 7kg). I am impressed how willing your cats were to partake in your shenanigans
Are you sure what you feed is a cat?
You could use online 3D printing services.
I have a cat that’s close to 13kg, Maine Coon
You can still make a train for your cat with only Lego parts.
Cat love box
these cats have a better transit network in your house than I do in my town
the way he threw the wheel on the track at 0:58 was so satisfying but it must've taken so long to shoot
The right angle jumpscare at 5:08 was very good
Idk how but that scared me
Sometimes you have to build a modern marvel of Lego engineering so you can watch your cat riding around in a train. Your kitties deserve the experience, people.
thats the dream of everyone, who had a lego train set! building your own train with your own mechanism, in a way bigger scale and as large as possible
...and with cats!
How to use cats and Lego to make people interested in, railroads, dispatching, electronics, electrical engineering, programming, design, aesthetics and more
People truly see the justification for something when they see how it is more convenient, pleasing and overall ingenious
Bravo
Dude, you can't have the most wholesome video on the planet for 12 minutes and THEN drop the cat feeder on me... I'm in tears, laughing 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Under the "marketing" banner too!
This is a tremendous achievement of Lego engineering, 3D printing, programming, pneumatics and electronics. However, my main reaction is OH MY GOD YOUR CATS ARE SO BEAUTIFUL. They are obviously very much loved and well cared for!
My own cat used to enjoy going for rides on the kitchen trolley so it's possible he would have been readier to use your train. When my niece visited I sat him on the trolley and she pushed him respectfully up and down the hall.
Train enthusiasts 🤝 cat enthusiasts
This train reminds me of Tatra T1 tram
Do you like trains? Do you like cats? Then the magazine "cats and trains" will suit you 😂😂😂
I am both!
Never thought that he will do it animal proof. They had a choise without him forsing them into the train. Well done for the train and the interaction with the cats.
The automated bribery machine was truly a work of art... everything about this is amazing!
We prefer the term "marketing"
Right! I'd love to have one to bribe my cats to take over the world
Lol, I appreciate them not forcing the cats onto the train and instead giving them an incentive to get in.
No
@@That-fallout-fan Yes
That is the only way to get them in, you can't just put them in, they're cats.
@@TrioLOLGamers well if it had a roof, and they left the snack dispenser inside AND closed the door. Cat doesn't have choice but to enjoy snacks for 4 mins
This right here ticks all the box for a UA-cam video. From the creative perspective, knowledge perspective, technical and mechnical perspective, it just has everything. This person is so fortunate to have these 2 feline creatures inspire him to make them a lego train
Plus: CATS! :)
@@romibodoni The most important parts ❤️
This is amazing. It is very interesting how you roll up to an engineering problem and then provide a solution. This gives a much better insight into the complexity of the real world than only seeing the optimized end result. Thank you
That "throwing bricks together" editing is just excellent. Looks so good!
As a Train fan, someone who is a volunteer trolley/tram operator irl, as well as a lego aficionado and cat person, this is truly amazing!!! This is the most realistic functioning lego train (or trolley or tram) I've ever seen! From the couplers, to the suspensions on the trucks, to the pneumatics, this is truly an amazing lego model! Well done!!!
This is literally all my childhood inventor dreams come true at once. I'm so happy this exists.
Half asleep Chris
The focus, perseverence, creativity and just absolute mad problem solving skills this dude has, is a huge asset in real life. If I was hiring an engineer, I would hire him instantly, regardless if he has formal training or not. Wow. So impressed.
Thank you so much :)
This needs to be a Lego set! The motorized Axels, to the coupling mechanism and the tracks! And even automatic opening doors! And having patience to put the cat in the train is just fun to watch! Hope Lego hires you.
yeah!
I don't think i'd ever have the money for something like this it looks like it would cost alot

Hahaha. Cookie is all like "I have no idea why I'm getting constantly fed snacks right now, but I approve!" At the end 😂.
Such cuties both of them.
I'm a railway engineer, and this was incredible to see. You nailed it. It's amazing I love everything about it.
NO WAY!!! This is the coolest thing I’ve seen all day!!!
The coupling design was incredible to see working and the design. The right-angle track made me snort so loud I think my neighbor heard me. Such a cool concept to include the wheel design and suspension in a method and way that allows for the system to still keep a balanced load while going around turns and coming up to or coming down from speed. A great design all around, and the cats got extra treats!
I love how adding the box made the trains significantly more attractive to them 😂 Also love the cat socks and how your cats are on them!
No animals were harmed in the making of this film.
And also, everything about it is just brilliant!
The algorithm has succeeded and recommended me the perfect video. Engineering, trains, Lego, and cats!
German engineering at its best😻
Will cats ever enjoy train rides? Only if there is a hand coming down from the sky feeding them treats 3x/meter😹
Kommt er aus Deutschland?
@@davidjones-bh5xgja, kannst einfach auf channel info gehen, da wird das Land unten angezeigt.
Ich denke dass die Straßenbahn wohl aus Züricher Straßenbahn ähnelt. 😂😊

Ah, I love it. The dedication you put into this is truly commendable.
When you asked "will cats ever enjoy train rides", my first though was "well, with constant bribery..."
0:35 Cat: "What is happening?" (The cats realizing that if they just sit in Lego train they can get free treats is so funny)
Enjoyed it tremendously. Lego Wizard combined with the Cat Whisper. The details and thoughtfulness and explanation provided great context. Helped me to learn and be amazed.
What a masterpiece! Came for the cats, stayed for the engineering
The engineering behind this is next level. But the greatest part was how you looked after the animals by letting them get used to it over time.
GG
These train staff are notorious for being demanding: more rest breaks, higher pay, more treats...
With the wheel slip issue, the Lego trains used to have rubber bands fitted to the drive wheels to help grip the track as well as grip tread to the outside rail and slip tread on the inside rail. Very well done. Big project. I read your description. Big indeed.
Mark from Melbourne Australia
You are an amazing cat-dad, and a fantastic railway engineer. And your socks with cats are the best!
It's great to see that also men can love cats like you do. Cats rule! 🐈🐱🐈🐱
13:26 Derailed, passenger escapes through the roof.
Thank you UA-cam for recommending me this video out of the blue, this is sick. I didn’t come in expecting it but I have a great appreciation for all the technical aspects of your design. When you added the suspension I very quickly realized you weren’t just making some simple toy train lol
Congratulations for being so creative and sharing such great project, and also how you solved all the challenges! Lego should hire you as chief engineer of new projects!
What you could do (especially considering these look and function like trams) is install a small bell that rings when cat treats are dispensed.
That way the cats would recognise the bell as giving out treats in the tram and then board.
All of this was magic, but when you made the automatic treat dispenser i said “this person is a GENIUS”
It’s astounding how close much of the functionality of the Lego train is to how a full size one works. You’ve done a fantastic job.
Ребенок внутри меня просто в восторге от этого! А взрослый я в шоке, что все настолько детально! Респект и удачи в дальнейших разработках! 🎉
i swear, when cats are content with their owners, they can be one of the cutest mammals of all time...
Never thought I would see cats, 3D printing, and Lego trains in one video
The fact that this guy poured his heart and soul into a custom tram ride, when we don't even build the ones with the manuals, is amazing. Roud of applause for him, everyone.👏
I love the way you give advice about making it and how to adjust your pets to it as if every mere mortal could just whip up one of these astonishing trains. Cats aside, I've always wondered why there weren't bigger train sets for teddies and dolls. I suppose they take up too much room in the house. Well, my little dog Griffin would have been in one of those carriages before they were finished. He loved anything that went. He rode the broom when I was sweeping, the same with the vacuum, took turns around the garden in the wheelbarrow and was a reckless skateboarder. I cannot imagine how giddy he would have been with his own train. Thanks for a truly marvellous video.
