LEGO City Update - Power Functions Subway Train MOC 4855 🚇🏹
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- At last I've started my underground train system with the subway train itself. After all, there's no point in doing a station if there's no train to visit it. This train is based on set 4855 but contains a full set of Power Functions bits and also takes its signature stripe from the much loved Metroliner (4558) set from 1991. I just can't wait to get it running!

I love that the 'toothpaste stripe' is being used to tye in the whole network.
Yes, and I now have a similar tram system stripe as well. Orange grey orange!
Yes thank you. Finally a train that’s similar to the subway we all know and love
Thank you, it means a lot!
When I had that set, I made mine into a SEPTA train by putting solid red bricks at the ends of the car and a solid blue brick between the doors. Back in 90s that's how most SEPTA trains look. Now only one line retains that paint job.
I had to Google that but see exactly what you mean. It's an identical train.
Are you in Philadelphia then? It amazes me the spread of where everyone is from!
@@RobinHoodBricks Yup, I be in Philly!
The m3 car is the cousin of the r38 nyc car
M3 Septa
@@RobinHoodBricks I'm in the same place as you lol
Let's go England
The London underground has fairly wide and long trains, with nice colours
That's true but these are fun as well. Real life Nottingham doesn't have any underground at all!
Maybe move to London like Croydon or Watford they have underground metro and trams
For anyone of you wondering, Forest Hills is a real life city-town in Queens, NYC, NY. The four subway lines that serve the town are the (E) (F) (M) and (R) lines, (M) and (R) lines terminate here at Forest Hills-71st Avenue, but the (E) goes all the way down to Jamaica Center, and the (F) goes to Jamaica-179th Street.
Wow, there's some local knowledge for us all!
There’s also a Forest Hills in Boston Ma!
I am an NYC subway fan too!
There's also a Forest Hills in Jamaica Plain which is a part of Boston, Massachusetts!
The red, white and blue stripes are the colors of my country, the Netherlands!😄
Of course I knew that but I hadn't put two and two together. I'm still sticking with it looking like toothpaste though. Thanks for your comment!
@@RobinHoodBricks i don't know why i didn't notice it much earlier, but you are from Great Britain ofcourse! You have a beautiful British accent! :)
@@rakisderra8095 Very nice of you to say. I've only recently got used to the sound of my own voice recorded!
@@RobinHoodBricks I was about to mention the Dutch Red-White-Blue. Hi fellow Dutchie ... :)
Rakis Derra hallo man hoe gaat ie
However there are still some places where high speed and regional trains use underground subway stations and tunnels and it’s mainly in major underground stations like Grand Central where it might be the case but generally those trains might only travel underground for a few kilometres before exiting through a portal onto their main regional routes! However 60098 would still be quite ideal for an electric maintenance locomotive that could pull freight loads and track maintenance equipment through the subway but it could of course serve as a breakdown train for the system! :)
Since my overground and underground aren't linked I guess I'll just have this one doing laps of the subway!
In London they have the tube stock. It’s narrow gauge as well. However, the trains here in the nine states are standard gauge
Yeah I guess ours is earlier but I could be wrong!
Amtrak phase three paint on a subway looks nice
Yeah, I love it. Had to get that stripe into the city somewhere!
@@RobinHoodBrickshave you ever considered adding an amtrak genesis with phase five paint?
It adds the amtrak livery and looks jice
Alternatively an f40ph with phase 3 or just a genesis with phase 3
Either way this is just a suggestion
This is pretty well done. My years of traveling on the MARTA train system in Atlanta wants there to be at least 4 cars and for them to be longer but other than that they look very appropriate.
Very nice train for the underground! Am eager to see the continued progress 🙂
I will aim not to disappoint!
Great looking subway! Agree the red white and blue stripe looks great.
I think so too. It'll have a second live station after my Halloween special series. You've seen the first full station I take it? Enjoy!
Very nice they do look like real subway cars. Now on to the station
Station Part 1 on Monday. Woop woop!
Fantastic idea! I've wondered about subways, so perfect video! very clever modifications and use of the original set! LegoLove this! Vickie 😍
Well wonder no more as the station is coming next. That's for watching, Vickie!
Well Done, Robin Hood!
Haha, thanks!
@@RobinHoodBricks You're Welcome!
It would be so epic if you recreated the subway train from the lego marvel super heroes game
This is so awesome! I really like how you took the subway set and added some color along with realism to make the perfect combo!
That colour scheme is great isn't it?!
Yeah!!! Adds a pop of colour to the silver/grey!
A great start to the subway. You deciding to do a subway got me thinking ideas for one and took me down a rabbit hole. Haha. Ready to see more!
Thanks very much. Monday will see the start to the station. It may take a few sessions to get right but I have a feeling it's going to be amazing!
Looking forward to seeing Subway! Great subway train solutions. Very smart!
That's a really nice comment, CKS. It took a while to jam all that stuff successfully inside the front engine car!
That looks unreal! I really like the look of it mate great job 👍😃
That's very nice of you to say!
Love the look of it! Great work!
Thank you very much, sir!
Awesome Robin! Love the lights! Toothpaste stripe?!😂 That's the Dutch flag mate!👍😎
True, true. I feel ashamed to have dissed the dutch nation... But it is TOTALLY a toothpaste stripe!
@@RobinHoodBricks Yeah also true👍😂
Reminds me of the CTA bicentenial sceme. The scene this is based on was flimed on the CTA.
Cool info!
Nice job love the red white and blue really stands out.
It's a shame this is underground as it's now my favourite train!
Very nice build.
Thanks!
This is really exceptional! Love it! :) Can't wait to get trains into my city.
That thing is solid full of wires on the inside but it's so fun!
Robin Hood Bricks I bet!

Hello again! That are some really good Lego meetings IN Copenhagen, Denmark! Very fun too see you there! DonPedro
I'll let you know if any plans form!
Why do you end every comment with DonPedro?
Wonderful! You really did a great job! I love it!
Aww, thanks!
I have been looking forward to watching this video. Awesome build. I might even do this myself.😀👍
I think I've given enough detail for you to do it too. Let me know if not!
This looks ace. Well done. Really looking forward to see how you build your tube station.
Haha. With difficulty. Setting up the tables alone is time consuming before we even get to the bricks!
Love watching your videos & builds
I appreciate that!
Wow I love the way that looks! It looks so good and nice moc!
Cheers, Ty!
Just catching up :-)
That's a stunning build. Amazing to cram so much into the engine car, and including lights and the hidden button as well just makes for a brilliant build.Almost enough to make me want to start running trains, especially as it takes up so little room.
A couple of suggestions / questions:
1. could you make the cars 18 or 20 studs long so you can fit a driver in the cab?
2. could you make the last car more similar to the engine so that it looks like it could be driving in either direction? Just a black tile on the end and adjustment of the top vents would be enough.
On to watch your videos of the underground!
Yes, it's a great looking train that one.
Yes, you could make it longer but the grey windows are very rare. I'd have to buy another whole set to get enough to extend them all. Also the roof pieces are four wide, so there's that to consider too.
Yes, you could make it look more symmetrical I suppose.
Enjoy the underground, it's great!
@@RobinHoodBricks you can buy individual parts from the Lego website
@@Wertyhappy27 These are long out of print!
It’s a shuttle because it has 3 cars and the nyc subway time square shuttle is 3 to 4 cars
Cool!
I love trains
Yeah, this one is one of my favourites alongside my Flying Norman and Zeppelin Train MOCs. Check out my trains playlist!
That looks awzum! Cool addition to the city 😎👍👍
Yeah, I can't wait to get it running under the tables!
I love this video so much I've watched it twice.
It is a very popular one that. It still surprises me just how well that stripe goes onto that train. Beautiful!
Nicely done. Thank you.
Thank you too for commenting!
that subway train it's look like the Septa train on the surface
Looks nice
Thanks very much!
Brilliantly done Robin I loved all the improvements with the Aqufresh stripes, want a cute trains I don’t know much about trains at all so it was nice to see you showing all the different trains LEGO used to make how cool was that double deckers one..just like the one in Holland.❤️👍❤️👍 hurry up Robin I’m can’t wait to see the subway 😁❤️❤️👍
Don't be too excited as it's gonna take a while I think. But it will definitely be worth it!
Hello, thank you for the idea, I made the same , hopping to find a 4 th one to had , I bought stickers from brickstickershop for the set 4558 for 7€ and covered the little squares front and back of the 3 colors, it looks much better , love to send you a picture but I dont know how to do it on RUclips
I love lego train
Thank you!
It looks so normal. But this is absolutly an eyecatcher. And the color sheme great. So a big 😀👍 up
I know what you mean, but the normal makes it realistic and the stripe makes it fun!
“Steam engines are clearly inappropriate for subways”
Old steam engines used on subways: 😐
Yes indeed, but not so often in the last 50 years!
I still have the 9V tracks, I think are the best for this model as the engine can be totally under the subway coaches and you can free up the space in the coach above without having problems with transmission.
Another change that I've done is to remove the seats and put a side bench (without the back) inside, and invert the position of the railings, so I have a flat exterior and handrails in the part of the coach not occupied by the bench.
Sounds awesome. I would really love to have the 9v track as having it open inside is a real improvement. That said, I needed flex track to fit it in my city, on a very tight curve, so that wasn't an option. Great that you can see inside the whole thing!
The 9V track would be relatively realistic as well for an underground train.
Your subway cars look similar to the silver set trains in Sydney :)
Cool!
good choice, I thought to do a subway using the Spiderman set but it's so rare
Thanks, I think it was the right choice too!
I mean, it's worth noting, if you were doing an older city, then you could have an underground line with steam locomotives.
I think they would look better if they were longer - the proportions look shorter than CTA's 5000 series cars!
Not realistic but very cute for LEGO scale and to differentiate from surface trains!
haha Forest Hills is a stop on the MBTA Orange Line
Boston, eh? It's also a New York destination I think!
@@RobinHoodBricks I did not know that I know the MBTA cuz i take my bike on it
It looks really realistic:)
Thanks very much, again, K9!
Ha, it seems you were busy watching my latest video while I was looking at this one! 😃
Anyway, that's a very nice adaptation of the original and looks much better! I admire how you have managed to get everything fitting snugly in the power car, that can't have been easy 😬
Looking flrward to seeing how this will look in Brick Nottingham's depths! 🚇
I'm glad you appreciated that difficulty. Yes, it was very difficult. When you're fighting to save every plate of depth so you can have the hidden button AND all the power functions. It'd be easy to ditch one element and have an easier life but I always keep going until I've got it all. That's why I'd love (and hate) GBC!
Robin Hood Bricks yes, I had a similar problem with my custom monorail train which needed to have its main body as just 4 studs wide and still have tiles on the outside, due to having really tight clearances around the track.
I cheated slightly and got a 3D printed replacement for the bottom of the AAA battery box, which had studs printed on the sides. Worked a treat, and fully covered over! 👍 So I now have a PF remote controlled monorail train. 😁
@@BlockHeadUK Wow, I didn't know you could get that. There's so much cool third party stuff out there now. Very useful indeed for a four wide build!
Robin Hood Bricks yep. Have a look at this.
ruclips.net/video/RRasWlT4TzQ/видео.html
lego rail cars should be 9 studs wide. 1 for each wall, 2 for each seat and 3 for the aisle.
That wouldn't fit anywhere in my city, haha!
@@RobinHoodBricks i was here before to talk about this. sorry
This should be a proper set its amazing
So kind, many thanks. It was quite a squeeze fitting all the Power Functions in, I can tell you!
@@RobinHoodBricks getting alot of inspiration of your ideas i am going try and do sewers on my lower level and gunna do turtles layer thinking of all the wasted space under my city i only have 5x3 baseplates i have not got alot of space
There's still a lot you can do. I had to wait years to get this space. I'm very lucky!
Subway trains operate on the standard rail Gage
Ahhh, I got it right then. Thanks!
When I get the Blue and orange-yellow train, I am planning to make a cab car out of the rear passenger car so I only have to buy one and have the ability to have it run both ways while looking good. (Because my track is not a loop.)
You may find that buying just a donor engine car without motor etc could be really cheap on eBay!
Like in Copenhagen, no driver, beautiful moc
I'm very happy with it. Thanks for the comment!
just saying the spiderman subway train is not a nyc subway train it is a chcago subway train the train is called the 2200 series
It may have originated in Chicago but Spider-Man is set in New York and the Forest Hills destination on the sticker is in real life Queens!
Looks like Amtrak bought subway cars lol
Nice
Yeah, I love that one!
WoW
Looking good, eh?!
@@RobinHoodBricks yea
I like em!
Thanks for the support!
Happy new year 🎉 🎉🎉🎉🎉
I like your train it is amazing and I like it
Thanks so much, Megan!
I was very surprised to see the sign that says “forest hills” on the front, Forest Hills is a train station that the MBTA operates on. Didn’t know there were many places named Forest Hills that were train stations
It's a sticker from a Spider-Man set so presumably it's also a real place in New York, unless he / the train travels to Boston!
Wow, i though you would say NYC. Suprising.
Forest hills is also a NYC subway station
Awesome love it I want to make my city to I am already started on it but I have to get way more buildings and stuff but hope It’ll be turning out good
Accumulating enough buildings to make it look like a city is the hardest bit. Consider doing empty ones for bulk!
Yeah I’ve tried that but nah didn’t look good I am going to a lego store this weekend I am going to get the bookstore and the corner garage
btw I just subbed you because Your awesome and you make such good stuff and thank you for the advice
The only thing that is stocked up for my city is trains because I have 5 trains (one of the old transport trains 1 of the old passenger trains and 3 of the last passenger train) and lots of these lights for the train
Hi 👋! It‘s me again 😂
Yo!
Looks like the original CTA 2400 series livery.
I just like the colours!
Yes, the colors give me american vibes
Red, white and blue stripes= Dutch flag
Luxembourg too!
Many subway trains these days are automatic so they don’t have a driver, so this totally works!
Ahhh. Noted. That's what I meant all along, honest!
Would longer cars be better? Or would they complicate things too much?
P.S. Another great, most-enjoyable video; well done!
I'll stick with one. I don't want derailments!
@@RobinHoodBricks New York managed to operate 60 foot and 75 foot trains.
So your subway cant, even if it’s based on New York? 🤣
I think he could've put the seats on the side since most subway lines have seats like that
It's only 4 studs wide inside so sideways would take up three and be in the middle!
That woud be a very ggod lego city set
That's very kind of you to say. Thanks!
HiHo Robin
Brilliant! I love the design of the Subway Train. Very, very smart and the carriages look totally authentic. I love the use of the tricolour stripe, excellent! It reminds me of the New York subway, not that I’ve ever been to the Big Apple, but they always seem to have a big American flag painted on them!
Will these trains be going to Pelham (Street) in Brick Nottingham. Maybe at 1:23?
Fabulous MOC. I really love what you’ve achieved here. Well done sir! ❤️👍👍
You are too kind. Yes, I get the clever film reference. The stripe is what it's all about!
Try upgrading your subway train to powered up as you now have two sets of it from your new passenger train 🚇
I use rechargeable Power Functions batteries which last way longer!
Awesome
Thanks, once again!
Looks great :)
Thanks, Thomas. Glad you liked it!
Can you make some instructions for the train please.
You can get the instructions of 4855 fairly easily on the internet. I just added standard train wheels and added the stripe. Watch out because those windows are really hard to find and are very expensive!
Thanks i really want to make a train like that for my lego city
I like steam locomotives to be quite fair
It's all modern here I'm afraid. A lot of the steam is wider and won't fit through my tunnels and past my obstacles!
@@RobinHoodBricks i under stand and i respect its your layout you do what you want
@@williampulfer-melville8536 Don't worry I like the comments and suggestions. Many are very good. I won't feel pressured!
Its perfect 👌🏾
Yeah I love that little train. The front is so full of wires!
Cool!
I’m from Nottingham
Excellent. Another East Midlander!
Yeah
Now I know he lives in Queens...
If only I could take the F right now
Nottingham UK but it is very much a US train!
@@RobinHoodBricks I said Queens because it says forest hills on the destination board
Gotcha. It's a reference lost on me!
Has anyone else noticed that Lego youtubers that have a Lego city pay waaaaaaay more attention to the trains then anything else? 😂
That's simple. Because trains are the best!
@@RobinHoodBricks yes, I recently purchased the 2018 passenger train and out of all my Lego sets (which I have a ton) the train is the coolest thing ever
@@elferly0969 60051 started all this for me!
If I do make a Lego city, it would be the same for me! The 2018 passenger train is the reason why I want to make a city, I thought of cool ideas I could use the train for in a city, I just started a second Lego channel which is also the reason I want a city
@@elferly0969 I'll be doing a video on 60051 at some point to show off two custom cars I've added!
You could put the driver on the other end
Yes, I guess I could!
@@RobinHoodBricks the only problem would be there wouldn't be head lamps right?
You r talking about the nyc Shuttle to time square
That's the one I took, yes!
Cool
Yes, it's jam packed full of wires, haha!
I would like a train like that
I don't speak inglish veri well
I have 11
Was the subway cars themselves based on the Chicago “L”? the cars look like the CTA 5000 series cars plus a stripe
You can make good for that!
Thanks very much!
Pretty awesome but we stared at your empty hands for 5:40 ?! Your awesome thumbnail got me to click and then I had to wait so long to see your work. Reveal it first then show your thought process 👍
I'm always learning. I think my videos are improving but they are more thoughtful than some other channels!
Reminds me of my hometown SEPTA
Yes, a few people from Philadelphia and around there have said that!
If this was a set it would cost $123
At least!
nice
like NYC subways go 12 block not twelve miles
I got the subway from the airport to the centre of Manhattan and it was a loooong journey!
@@RobinHoodBricks I love nyc and the subways
Good build but I would have used the metro-liner withe the club car I just love the design
Haha, that would cost a lot more and the club car wouldn't fit in a subway tunnel very well!
Robin Hood bricks thank you for replying that made my day
MOC in long: My Own Creation
That's right, my friend!
Real life subway trains don’t run on narrow tracks... at least not in America
Good to know. I doubt ours do either then. Thanks for the comment!
You’re welcome!
Timmy's Train in the uk they don’t run on narrow neither except the Glasgow subway
@@samuelhulme8347 Glad to hear it is officially correct then. Cool!
Robin Hood Bricks the London Underground runs on normal track but with an extra 3rd rail to provide power to the train which is mostly white and it’s partly red and blue and the 3rd rail is most of the times is on the opposite side of the platform edge
Could u make a second subway two on the same track
most subways are all the same gauge as above ground trains.... very few are narrow gauge... look at the london underground
Indeed. Glad I kept it that way then!
Hello MR Hood. It’s like it’s doesent matter if it’s a building or a sub train, you Get IT right every time MR Hood! Fantastic Moc you have createt here ! If you sometime and somewhere gone too be on brickworld or simulere event and displaying your Lego art, please tell me and i fore sure gone too be there!I love IT! Best Regards DonPedro
I've never been to a LEGO event, let alone displayed at one. Many thanks for the fantastic confidence boost though!
Robin Hood Bricks you should do both! Visit for inspiration and display because your MOCs are every bit as good (or better!) than stuff I see at shows 👍
@@BlockHeadUK Very kind. Every minute seems accounted for at the moment. Maybe I'll step down to two videos a week.
I'll consider visiting a show. Is there a bulletin board somewhere? Thanks again!
Robin Hood Bricks understand the time constraints! 😉
As for shows, this is the best list I know of:
www.bricksmcgee.com/blog/uk-lego-shows-events-list/
MR Hood! It’s very time consuming too produce so Munch on RUclips AS you do, that it’s easy too understand! But Big Thanks that you take that time too give us so much fun videos too watch! I really hope too see you somewhere IN Europe 2020, Big thanks from DonPedro! PS. Your are good really good!
