Love these trains. I would be interested to see more of the construction e.g. bogies, main body etc. Layout looking good as well especially the long train shed in the centre!"
Thanks Max. I’m planning to do a video soon on my 1959 stock tube, which has the same bogies and a very similar body. I’ll pay a bit more attention to them
So I’ve just built this using the rebrickable instructions and it really does look great and I’m very grateful you took the time to design and share this with us, but the running of it has been a constant stream of headaches. The side plates on the bogies are too flimsy The motor is barely strong enough to pull the three carriages It struggles to turn corners without grinding to a halt And the brand new batteries I put in before testing just now lasted about 40m. Considering I’ve spent about £300 on parts alone (£150 if I was clever about it) it’s rather infuriating to still have all these issues. What would you recommend?
@@cjjones7270 Thank you for your comment. Without pictures of your train it’s hard to see if there is anything obviously wrong. This is a heavy lump of a train so it is not the fastest and uses a bit of power. I always use EBL AAA rechargeable batteries and these last pretty well, especially at shows. I will get a good 6 hours of constant run time with this particular train at shows. I get these from Amazon and they are pretty cheap. As for cost, everyone knows that Lego ain’t cheap and MOC trains doubly so. I understand your frustration as I have been there many times. This train has been through many iterations to get to this stage, it may change again depending on what technology Lego bring out next. With issues regarding the building/running of the train it may be better to comment on rebrickable, I think you can leave photos on there which would be helpful. As a tip, which I haven’t mentioned before, use traction bands on the driving wheels. I use small hair bands or you can use loom bands. These make a big difference with traction. With the side plates I’m assuming you mean the parts that’s supposed to represent the traction pick up bar. Yes, they are not the sturdiest as it is only held on by one stud. Mine stay on whist running but they do fall off when being transported from show to show.
One of the best underground trains on UA-cam. Thanks for sharing. Loved seeing all the details and close ups. Very inspiring.
Thank you so much, I am so glad you like it. I’ve got plenty more London Underground trains that I’ve got to make videos for…more to come soon
Please show more of the layout, especially the underground station and the sheds! It’s (bloody) brilliant!
Thank you so much. This video shows the whole layout in a bit more detail ua-cam.com/video/Lmk_pDQ9Xds/v-deo.htmlsi=zcfTITnNpwrMWnt3

@@mocerhead8966 Thanks Andy - I'll look out for it.
Absolutely beautiful models and layout!
Thank you
You have some really good looking builds there, very UK.
Very nice design! I would never have the bricks to make it!
Thank you. I did make quite a few purchases at Bricklink to get all the parts.
