Here is another way of putting a motor in the Orient Express: brickset.com/article/102806/motorising-the-orient-express
Hey, designer of the rebrickable version. There basically isn't a difference between those 2 setups besides the attachment method so they'll run the exact same, mine is a little less conventional but I use it with great success at conventions.
The only other difference is that I tried to use as little extras parts as possible to make it as much accessible as I could.
I'm reporting you to the LEGO authorities for motorizing this impossible to motorize set.
So, the engine will work well if it's pulling different (lighter) rolling stock.
Yeah, it just eats batteries.
It looks pretty good and smooth because it is old train and not a new diesel train. I might bought this
Nice train set Joey great video
Thanks so much for this informative video. I was skeptical about trying this out with mine. Guess I'ma have to go for it now. That was so cool footage of it going around your layout, which this train is themed perfectly for
AmourAll works well to lubricate plastic parts like axles or sliding shafts. Just a drop is all you need.
Nice job dude. I personally will be using 9v for mine, if I ever get one, (kinda expensive), and I should hope a pair of good old reliable 9v Motors in the tender and under the first car will be sufficient. I might have to redesigned the trucks, but that shouldn’t be too difficult.
Anyways, Rockatoa, Brickticks out.
P.S. do you need any narrow gauge rolling stock? I’ve been working on several designs for engines and cars for Narrow Gauge, including a number of shed designs, so I’d be happy to share. I might someday upload them to Rebrickable, but we’ll have to see.
Thanks! I love Rebrickable, it is a great place to find LEGO MOCs, especially train stuff. It would be great to see your stuff there.
This is great! I just finished my build today and now I’m on the mission to motorize it as well. Thank you for the information in this video. Yours looks like it’s running great:)
If you could? I would love to see a video of what i would take to get it running long-term on your layout, as i would like to do the same one day!
Thanks for that input so far 👍
A lot of batteries will drop voltage pretty early on, and then stay quite consistent for a while. I think racingbrick did a video in it that shows a graphs. There are some batteries that are designed to keep a constant voltage though. You could also try investing in a buwizz to make the train go even faster.
I will check out his video. We ran that set of batteries for about 20 min while filming, then I let it sit for a couple of hours until my grandson showed up. We got another ~20 min before the hub started blinking low power. So around an hour of running.
Hay yeah joie. Yes. Awesome got mine last Sunday. At Legoland .😊...I just on bag 13 atm I was just Waching jabo s vid. On how. You and some one from Australia got a. Leg pass port to jabo ..😊..I just got mine stamped with the. New stamp it's a Christmas one .
Nice!!
My other bit of disappointment with this set is the lack of magnetic couplers. making it impossible to couple up to other engines and rolling stock without some quick modding.
Is there rubber grease?😅
How did you manage to have the coupling rods not interfere with the wheel synchronization? I followed the instructions from rebrickable but the wheels with the flanges get locked up once I attempt to accelerate
The main thing is to quarter your wheels. So on one side the connect rod will be on top, but on the other side it will be 90 degrees either forward or back.
@@BrickTrains Gotcha! I’ll have to give it a shot. I’m eager to get mine running!
@@BrickTrains it worked!! Thank you so much!
Looks good on the layout 👍
Damn i need that orient express grrrrrrrrr
Glad you got it running but I can see why it did not pass LEGO's stringent testing. Eating batteries and needing wider radius track are probably what killed it but I guess they did their best leaving enough room in the tender for the battery etc.
Yeah I was very pleased that it was as easy to modify as it was. It sure does look like they tried.
So apparently motorizing isn’t the problem. The problem is the weight. Tearing up motors or burning up batteries is the issue. Would second motor help. Prob yes for the weight but then it really would burn the batteries I guess. What’s your expert option.
So putting the motor in the way I have it is the cleanest way I can see. Yes a 2nd motor would help, and multiple motors do not seem to eat batteries as much as a motor that is working way over it's capacity. It realy feels like LEGO wanted to put a motor in it, but just could not over come the weight problem.
@@BrickTrains I put in show noted
The motor- I forgot to get a motor. The unofficial ones on Lego website are crazy expensive - so bought a much more expensive technic set
It's good to see you got it running. It would have been interesting to see it running on official LEGO track corners to see how well it handles that as well.😀👍
@@paulsbricks I tried it out, it does run through r40 corners. You can slightly notice it slows down but not by a lot.
great video - explaining some of the small details/small drawbacks. For Jaabo and Earl, who were making fun of you for buying expensive R-120 track - who's laughing now :) (just kidding guys)
🤣
LEGO : We try our absolutly best to motorized Orient Express and we wont be able to do it.
Meanwhile Community : HOLD MY BEER ! xD
Some of us are trying to save for retirement, stop showing Legos i need
I know, right. LOL
I think I can I think I can... I really appreciate the struggle and the ramble, every time I go to turn my trains on (which is only twice a year because I spend all of my time trying to build things detailed up) I have to get the instructions out or watch a video on how to do it exactly.🙄🤔😖🤨🫣 It looks awesome for a pre-war train on your layout. I would never join a LUG because I want to do things my way. I've never checked to see how long my 8-wide trains could run, but, they are of my design and I haven't gotten any of the BMR stuff yet. I wonder how long your Big Boy with a typical consist would run for. I guess the question is, would a person such as myself be happier if LEGO had simply said, you can motorized it if you want, it's heavy, it's going to burn batteries up... Have fun. I still don't like it, I'd rather buy train pieces for equal the price!!!!!!
