Awesome! Pls share more pix!

I completed my cargo train over the weekend. My kids were so excited. I think he ran circles along the train track with the train see who is faster!

but the funniest part is, i think i was more excited than him to complete the train.

Now i m 99% sure i m going ahead with the lone ranger train!!

  Congrats. I believe you RC the chassis and run around before finish building the top part 

I got some Technic updates ... uploading videos & pics ... 

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.

I jumped straight into it, ordered on last thursday when Amazon UK has Sales. It is delivered today....4 days later. It is not poison, it is narcotics....

u better hope you are not hooked to this. I am a at a point of no return in the choo choo poison aledi. Into expansion tracks (a few boxes and counting) and switching tracks, and going for more train sets. now the modular like taking a back seat....

Wow, now I'm starting to get hooked on trains esp. those with power functions. Would be nice to build and run a train with PF around any other modular/city/town/winter sets and wow family and friends when they visit esp. during festive seasons. 

... but need a large display table or if setup on the floor then wifey will nag! 

Using rechargeable batteries is a good idea. I dislike those RC cars and hotwheel sets that consume batteries like mad. Makes the running costs higher than the set itself. 

  Folks, can you please hide all your train photos and videos in spoiler. That way I can continue to enjoy the non-trains part of this forum. Unless Lego releases a Friends train set someday, I may have to avoid the train-virus for now. 

sets and baseplate top up~

Its normal coz usually ade track baru ade train ~ haha
Coz ade train no track can't jalan~
No worries, wait for other retail to restock too mayb ade discount lagi~

Me morning haul which is also the last haul that I'll have till bullet reloads 


For bro ilfort

By the way, anyone has or knows where I can get Power Function set? Also what is the price estimation that I should expect?

Hmm will need to dig around for a good deal. Planning to put in the motors for the 42000. Thanks for the price info
Hahaha I was not into Technic at first but while searching for this set as a gift for my friend, I somehow got a little poisoned. Hence decided to try with one set and see how it goes. But again..no bullets for now

Nice one!!

I am beginning to feel that technic sets is going to be the next "in" thingy here. luckily me already drank some antipoison on this..

my nxt big project is going to be the LOTR ship!! Cant wait to have it!!

both LOTR n technic maybe

Yes, the battery hangs at the back of F1 #42000. Due to the lack of space inside the vehicle itself.
I think current big set are:
8110
9398

8043 Motorized Excavator 

Some old sets like:
8421 Motorized Crane
8275 Motorized Bulldozer


I think Technic can categorized into few types:
- Big / motorized 8421/8275/8110/9398 ?
- Medium 42000/9396 ?
- Smaller sets 42002, 42003, 42004, 42006, 42007, ... ?

However, there are only a small group of Technic fans, if compare to City, Star Wars, Ninjago, Super Heroes, etc. 

Prices are climbing steadily and are not likely to retreat so if you really want it you better buy it now before it is out of reach...

And yeah, BIG Technics sets are amazing!

I bought my CMF Series 7 from him. Good seller and very reasonable shipping but I suppose if you buy Mr. Gold you will want all sorts of insurance cover! lol!
Sharing is caring bro!!    

Btw, before I continue with more poison, can anyone help confirm this? Another forumer and I would like to know if the track from the train sets are compatible with that from 6857 Dynamic Duo Funhouse Escape? I know I've asked this before but would like to put it to rest once and for all... Below is a picture of the regular train track, the track width is 4cm. Can someone help check the track width of the tracks in 6857 please? Thank you!

i hate u bro Lego_Jason ..today only..coz of the poison pics

dunno consider epic fail anot:

Pay like normal bro, 9am-6pm usually is RM9. But i pay every 3 hours (i'm kiam siap people) XD

12pm pay RM2, 3pm pay RM2, 6pm pay RM2. Total RM6 a day.
No lah going back to Cheras, took me more than 1 hour 45 mins... some more got connaught pasar malam lagi ><

i wonder what is this 30193-1: 250 GT Berlinetta so special about?
just now hand itchy added it in my brickfolio then i'm "dafuq???"
it's worth us60 dollar in market value!! just for a polybag? 

Yeah bro,

Actually it works like this, for example:

9pm arrive, 12pm pay parking then you have around 15-20mins to exit.

So 12.20pm if you did not exit, the timer will reset and start counting from 12.20pm

So you pay again at 3pm, you did not exit again.

The timer will reset and start counting from 3.20pm

then pay again at 6pm and go home 

I was paying RM9 a day for parking for a year... until my colleague told me of this trick... shhhhh keep it to yourselves

Railway track, still under progress
