no ppl build KTM train? can put Friends MFs into the ladies coach,

go ahead..salary coming out soon

why want KTM? KLIA Express better

passenger train is a must for 1st time train..its on my wishlist now due to the poison..but still no bullets

how about this?

Buy... must buy... have to buy!

5 miles, 1 station?

Lucky I'm not into train else I really declare bankrupt

Thread is zooming along today like a bullet train. Starting to wonder if I am missing out on something cool?

Lego selling Lone Ranger train set with tracks but no power functions. So how to play - push along by hand? They want you to buy more train sets and power functions!

Video is darn poisonous. Some more got maersk and emerald night trains. Going quite fast too! Wonder if that is normal speed or they use more than 1 power function to increase speed? Maybe those who have built can share experience on speed of trains and how long the batteries can last. Thx.

Soon Lego will come out with Friends train in fuscia and pink color. Then I hav eno choice but to get for my little princess

you sure lego is releasing that?

Lego train sets are very popular so they may ask Disney to include a space train in episode 7... woohoo, a choo choo in space!

Came across this Family Guy cartoon snippet...




FIXED

hahaha exactly, you must have done the same. Couldn't resist anymore

Yep, same with me

he should put a wifi cam on the train and take a video of it
or put wifi cam on another chaser engine at the back, to film it

If i'm not mistaken, the train have 7 speed. Can control from the remote, slowest, slow, normal, slightly faster, fast, faster, fastest.

My train haven't arrive so i'm not too sure

Ok, updated my blog. No MOC / modifications lately. Still waiting for parts.
Other stuff not reach KL yet


Lego 9398 - Motorized Rescue Helicopter

Nothing new in this, as per building instruction. The length and width is bigger than Unimog & Crawler, mainly due to the main-rotor. Height wise, lower. I did not put on any stickers ... yet.



I don't know about others, but my winch is very tight. Due to the grey-pin bush with friction below. The motor can't turn this, so I replaced with a 5.5 axle with stop. BTW, I use my own longer string. However, when I disengage the gear for winch, it is free fall when something is on the hook.

I may need to sacrifice some spare bush-pin and sand-down some of the friction on the pin. Or research more for other solutions.



I do not have the power-function motor set (8293), so I take the parts from other vehicles to try here:
- M-motor
- Battery box
- IR receiver
- Remote control
- 8-tooth gear
- 24 tooth gear with clutch (white)

All works fine, after the above fix for the winch. Here is the video with the winch, rear-cargo door, landing-wheels and rotor.



Something I note (before I do further research on internet), when the rotor rotates, it has momentum and when I stop the motor, the rotor will continue for a while. This can mean disaster for the gears, as the rotor forces the gear to rotate the motor. Hence, a smart design here for the safety mechanism, there is a gear on L-beam which can roll up to prevent gears grinding.

Also, this means the motor can only rotate the rotors in one single-direction. If switch the other direction, the gears will rotate freely. Which is what a helicopter rotor should be, rotate in one direction for lift. Below is the video of how it works.



All in all, the helicopter is quite complete. There is a stick to adjust the rotor pitch.
One thing missing though, is the tilt (front and back) for the chopper to move forward/backward, in real life.

My passenger train just arrived. It is sitting pretty at home waiting for me to come home....
