Due to the overwhelming response to this video I have gone ahead and put the instructions for sale on Rebrickable. The link is in the description and thanks for watching!
this is fantastic! thank you for the very great explanation and thorough build! you've put a lot of time into this one and it's so great! thank you for sharing all this information with us! this is so inspirational
Alright I gotta ask. When will you build a NYC J3A streamlined Hudson locomotive with cars of the famous 20th century limited? Sense you have 2 locos of the Pennsylvania railroad its only fitting that you make the locomotive of the Pennsylvania railroads rival.
There's already a decent number of pretty good Dreyfuss J3As in LEGO; I'm not sure I could add too much to that conversation... but if someone would want to commission it, I'd think about it :D
Hey man, got interest in buying this and possible the PRR B8a. Just wondering if you update the designs on Rebrickable. So for the T1 it states the old model but you’ve obviously made changes. Is that what you get when i purchase it?
The version on Rebrickable is still an older version. I will update the description or add a comment when instructions for this version are available. Thanks!
Very clever!..and a very nice locomotive..I imagine it does take alot of thought to figure out how it would work aswell as seeing how it performs through trial...I wonder what a J1 PR would look like in lego if it's even possible.
Can i ask a stupid question, did steam train engines have articulated boogies like seen in this model? I don't see how they could take corners otherwise, if they did cam someone explain or link as scource on how that system worked and was able to articulate with pistons?
In some cases like on the UP Big Boys and Challengers they indeed had articulated chassis, but the T1 prototypically had a rigid frame much like a more conventional 4-8-4.
Lol funny how your T1, which is similar to the S1, has weight distribution issues lol. I think the S1 had weight issues, i dont know if the T1 was better or if it had it at all.
These would have prototypically had much better weight distribution than this model. In an actual steam locomotive, the weight is mostly in the boiler, cylinders, and frame rather than the cab. That of course didn't stop the infamous slipping issues the T1 had though. The Q2 apparently had some more sophisticated traction control; I don't know why they didn't do it for the T1.
@@NonsenseWars "The Q2 apparently had some more sophisticated traction control; I don't know why they didn't do it for the T1." Possibly to keep potential costs down, that I don't know for certain.
So I made you train but every time I try to run it the non driving wheel don’t move and make the piston get stuck and forces the entire train stop how does one fix this ?
Well, that's pretty much the tradeoff for being a LEGO train... unless the curves were actually to scale it pretty much has to articulate more than the prototype. I'd ay overall these models are more of a detailed sketch than a photorealistic painting at any rate!
This particular Lego implementation is articulated, but the prototype was not. You can definitely made a rigid framed Lego model if you stick to wider radius curves though.
Tony's updated his model a few times over the years too. When I did my first one, he was still on _his_ first one, which was, among other things, still using number 9 drivers instead of number 11. I think he also, even now, continues to power his versions from the tender.
@@NonsenseWars well nevertheless, I'm in love with your design. I'm currently working with Glenn Holland and Montystrains to design a UP steam locomotive that hasn't been done yet. TTT-6.
@@NonsenseWars same here! Been thinking about making a Baldwin Centipede. It's been done once before, but it was a 6 wide from 2012 or so. Do you happen to have an Instagram?

Excellent work on this! I love how easy it splits apart and how easy it is to access the battery box. Top notch work!
Ha ha, I didn't really intend it from the start, but once I started seeing it was possible I went all in. Thanks!
What an incredible model. Im so glad there are finally large radius lego curves so this model and look its best!!
Looks beautiful! Job well done.
I am seriously impressed with how you've tackled all wheel bogies on the boiler! So much there I never would have thought of!!!
You have a nice day too!
This is awesome! I’d love to see your take on a big boy or an Allegheny
Beautiful model, some day I have to build a model of yours, this may be the first.
Wow! Very impressive! You did an excellent job!

It's definitely possible, just have to make more or less tradeoffs depending on how sharp of curves you want to negotiate!

Very cool
You should try some lights from brickloot
has anyone noticed that he has the same cadence of nilered ?
Awesome stuff

I'm not sure I understand the problem. Can you post a video?

@@NonsenseWars every time I try to send the link to the video my message gets deleted
Hey man, i got a question for ya.
I keep seeing a FIRST Robotics Competition robot in the background of your videos. Which FRC team did it come from?
I dunno if my school still does FRC, but we were team 1560 when I was there. That was a _long_ time ago though!
Please make a F R K 2
how did you add the stairs coming from the cab?
That's one of my favorite parts! It's made with upside down 1x1 slopes with brackets going outward.
But is it _really_ accurate if it isn't a single rigid frame?
Well, that's pretty much the tradeoff for being a LEGO train... unless the curves were actually to scale it pretty much has to articulate more than the prototype. I'd ay overall these models are more of a detailed sketch than a photorealistic painting at any rate!
Put it on Lego ideas. I NEED THIS
You should do the Q1, S1 or S2
In a long enough timeline I'd probably get to all three... I actually started an S1, but I didn't get very far.
Trade you my lego space set that I got from dirty brickster. I don’t want it anymore
Lol, bring it to the next meeting XD
@@NonsenseWarsnever mind
The Lego T1 is too big so it has to be articulated if I'm right
Dont worry just get the flageless wheels
The T1 and its predecessor the S1 had wheelbases that were too long for much of the Pennsy system's twisty curves
This particular Lego implementation is articulated, but the prototype was not. You can definitely made a rigid framed Lego model if you stick to wider radius curves though.
As far as the first design goes, how did this differ from Tony Sava's T1 he designed?
Tony's updated his model a few times over the years too. When I did my first one, he was still on _his_ first one, which was, among other things, still using number 9 drivers instead of number 11. I think he also, even now, continues to power his versions from the tender.

@@coleberan3333 Very nice, I for one definitely appreciate modeling prototypes that haven't been done rather than the umpteenth Big Boy or Olton Hall.
