Building a LEGO 12V steam engine: Inspiration

I'm back! I've been super busy for the last few months but have been working on a project that I'm showcasing in these videos - a custom 12V steam engine. This part of the series is detailing the inspiration for my engine, both in official sets (7730, 7750, 7727) and real-life steam engines like the DB Class 50, DB Class 03.10, and others. More content coming soon!

Nice to see you back! I think that out of 4 engines you've showed I think I liked DB Class 03.10 the most. Looking forward to the next part of this series.

I liked the 03.10 as well! It has massive driving wheels, lol

I like real-life steam locomotives you've chosen also having hoses on your custom engine is very good idea I would also recommend you to check PKP class pt47 as I think is also one of the better looking steam locomotives

Hey that is a nice engine! It actually reminds me a lot of 7777 - the window arrangement and general body style is pretty similar. Although, the PKP is a 2-8-2 whereas 7777 is a 4-6-2.

I'm still building a LEGO Verison of the Northern Star from Shining Time Station: Tis a Gift.

Nice! Is it 12V?
