3- And finally: A train. The biggest group of fan here I believe is train.
Why not build a 12-14 wide locomotive with all the linkage. Wheels would have
to have limited suspension and leeway to move around curves (this would not
be necessary really but just to ensure proper realism) I envision a
locomotice suspended just slightly above a moc-track where pneumatic pistons
would work the wheels through proper linkage. Hidden inside the boiler there
would be a series of compressor to work the pistons (would need many
compressors i.e. 8868 to achieve proper compression and speed to be
interesting - on that front, a ‘compressor’ module directly attachable to the
new XL motor would be good). More importantly, there would be a lever inside
the cabin that would control the forward neutral and backward direction.
Breaks would also be needed. Wheels would be 6-8 studs high and the proper
metal weight for the wheels would also have to be created. Specifically
speaking this would not do much really and would actually be static that is
why realism would be somewhat important - A cross between technic and model
team I suppose. A model to put on the mantle piece and just watch in
amazement!
Potential add-on: on top of the potential compressor for the xl motor, a
surmultiplication transmission would be good and would work nice on the
helicopter mentioned above.

Great idea! You could even go for an unusual loco, like a
Hagan’s
linkage.

| (...) According to what I have been reading so far, people need many realistic functions on their models. I am of the same view. Many have also expressed a wish of a cross-theme type of model (i.e. space shuttle). the space shuttle was great because (...) (17 years ago, 8-Oct-07, to lugnet.technic, FTX)
