Heineken train - Would be awesome! I did check. It seems that Märklin actually have produced some Heineken freight cars in the past: Märklin 4680 in 94/95. Cheers and hoping for a Dutch beer train ;-)
Bought the bricks from lego.com using the "pick a brick" where you can buy individual bricks. I made them as described in another comment on this page as follows: Base is 4x10 plate 2x2 support pilars and top is 2x8 plate with a 1x2 and a 2x2. The trick is to have 5x2 hole between the 1x2 and 2x2 to hold the C-track on top. Put a support under each place C-tracks are connected. Not the best description will show in a video sometime... Enjoy and have fun ;-)
By the way... It looks like the trailers are made by Herpa? But what does it say under the container? I wonder if Märklin does the containers them selves, or if someone else produces them. And if so, if it is possible to get more containers that do fit the wagons, for example to model a container loading area with stacks of containers.
Both the semi-truck trainlers and the interchangable truck loads are from Herpa. As I understand it, the flexibility of the freight car and the different "pegs" will allow for several variations of semi-trailers and containers. Don't have any others to try with... Anybody got experience with what semi-trailers and contrainers will fit on the cars? Enjoy and have fun ;-)
Okey, that do sound promising. I would suspect that the "regular" containers that Märklin has many variants of has the same standard/dimensions so they could be swapped between the different wagons the offer. And also promising as I think Herpa has a good selection of containers.
Thanks! No have not shared the LEGO track support yet. Base is 4x10 plate 2x2 support pilars and top is 2x8 plate with a 1x2 and a 2x2.

@@ModelTrainFun I'm already challenged by all this newfangled digital technology I'm trying to get my arms around that I can't get into something else. I've seen LEGO train videos, and that's a totally other realm I'm not ready to conquer. I had LEGO trains when I was a kid, and am totally amazed what they have developed into. However, I like realism, and despite their incredible efforts, LEGO is still LEGO and not to scale models of the real thing. Maybe I'm too serious...
Agree - the realism is different, but it's still fun. Nowadays you can also connect the newest trains with power-up to your cell phone and control it directly from there. Lots of fun! Enjoy ;-)
Hi. Please let me know what type of material, carpet or matt you use as green grass in your unboxing and your layouts. Name, mark, seller..... Thanks a lot, Dr. Guillermo Martínez
I hope you enjoy the channel. I am using a NOCH Grass Mat - specifically "Summer Meadow" (00012). You can find it here: www.noch.com/en/grasmatte-sommerwiese-200-x-100-cm.html Enjoy ;-)
Always nice to meet a fellow Dane ;-) Hope you liked the video - and check out the links in the description for other videos of the real prototype "Danish Beer Train". Enjoy ;-)
Ja - det ville have været rart med metal. Men heldigvis er locomotives tungt not til at have god "traction". Yes - it would have been nite if the body of the locomotive also was in metal. Fortunately, it is heavy enough to have good tracktion. Enjoy ;-)
Very nice unboxing video. I think your train brought you enough beer for ever. Cheers. When comes a Heineken train to Holland ?

Nice video. I liked it so much I ordered the beer cars and locomotive today. You are costing me money!!! :-)
LOL - cheers and have fun with the beer train - it's a beauty ;-)
Great video - whereabouts did you buh the Lego brick pillars?

@@ModelTrainFun Briliant - didn't know that the famous lego had such a service - thank you for informing me.
Great video and beautiful train! I was thinking about getting this train set but decided against it and got something else :)
Thanks! Wonderful set - what did you get instead? Enjoy model trains ;-)
@@ModelTrainFun i Got the märklin 39062 class 66 in lineas livery and the McK MT 152 that just arrived yesterday :)
Nice ;-)

Nice! You say you have some more beer cars? It would be fun if you showed some of your collection.
Unfortunately, the main part of my train collection is far from me. I am currently deployed and only have a few trains. Maybe one day ;-)
Lets hope for some day then :)
Love the beer train !!! Did you share your LEGO track support layout earlier? I like the idea, and was wondering what the LEGO parts are you used.
Thanks! No have not shared the LEGO track support yet. Base is 4x10 plate 2x2 support pilars and top is 2x8 plate with a 1x2 and a 2x2.

@@ModelTrainFun thanks, we happen to be LEGO fans as well and built some cars during the shutdown last year.
I can recommend the LEGO trains - also fun ;-)

Nice video! Is there any way to get a drawing of the layout the train is running on?
Please find it using the following link. The little yard was not in the video. Enjoy. 1drv.ms/u/s!AqYmnR5sGgDxgQjH2fps_KD_v1Iq

Undrer mig at de har lavet overdelen af lokomotivet i plastic..
