10194 Emerald Night

[AFOL12v]

I'm busy to change the emerald for 12v. It's a neverending project. It goes not smootly through the points and the connecting rods are causing that the big wheels blocks.

I made some more modifications. First how the design of lego is:


And this what I made, to prevend that the connecting rods blocks the bog wheels:


I changed the connecting rods also, otherwise it will be still wider than 8studs. Trains wider than 8 studs means collisions between other trains. Tracks lay next to eachother with 12v. I adjusted the 1/2pins of technic lego:


This means the emerald train is now exactly 8studs wide:




Here again the bottom view with arrived parts today:


Here a pic of the train itself, which almost look like the orginal design. Only modified for 12v.

Impressive work there mate. What a challenge to mod a train that is not fit to be a 12v without changing its amazing design Really congrats because it does look really great
