WIP - LEGO Big Boy Tender 1:38 - a photo on Flickriver

            Work on the Union Pacific Big Boy in Lego is well on the way! Even in the for me relativly small scale of 1:38 the thing is getting quite big. 

The tender is now about 80% ready, and about 36 cm or 14 inches in length. The three Powerfunctions XL engines are mounted and they are powered by a non Lego RC 2300 mAh batterypack which is connected by a Tamiya connector to the SBrick. The five rear axles are driven. The front bogie can turn. 

The tender will push the locomotive. To avoid slip the custom 3D printed wheels (30.5 mm) are printed with dual layer setup, also applying a small frictional TPU layer to increase grip. 

The lights from Brickstuff.com are on the way from the US, and after they are mounted I can do the final detailling and apply the necassary stickers. 

Soon I will start on the Locomotive. The wheels are ready for testing!

Thanks to Jaap Kroon and Rob from Brickstuff.com for support!
