I TURNED ROAD SLOPES INTO LEGO TRAIN

Many people have the new LEGO set 60304: Road Plates, and they don't really know what to do with all the left over slopes. Well, I used them to create my own LEGO Öresunds/Øresunds train. And it's fully motorized!

Nice. That's a good use of the slope pieces. Besides too few windows, you really catch the look of the Öresunds trains, with the rubber front and the slightly curved gray sides.

Hallo, as so many times, your building skills are innovative, Thank you, Carola

(3👍) Hi Solbrick, nice Episode as always. Best regards from i-Lego

1:37 I remember going to Belgium and seeing a train thats similair (like the front looks nearly identical perhaps their just different versions of the same train). I believe it (belgian one) was called class 97 or something i dont remember.

[Zabadak]

Remarkable use of that roadplates. But I like it 👊😃👍

Awesome build :-)
As a train-nerd and former employee at DSB (Danish Railways) I'd say it's pretty good, though you should ad a third car to make it more like the real "Öresundstog" and perhaps have fixed wheels only at each end and then two turning bogies between car 1-2 and 2-3 ... :-)

Nerd-knowledge: The rubber-front serves several purposes, besides as you described when connecting several trains together (up to 5) it also has another very unik feature: Because it is hollow and filled with preasurerized air the rubber-front will act like a perfect cone when reaching speed of 90km/h making the train extremely aerodynamic... :-D

Good job. I agree with you about adding stickers on the train cars.

It might look better if you use the slopes only on the bottom and use flat tiles and wedges for the top half

[mvrooks]

i’m getting soviet-era vibes. it looks huge and imposing. very cool!

[MayoHosko]

I feel that anyone who complains about too many weird pieces in a set they’re not using isn’t creatively advanced to use them. I didn’t think of building the side of a DMU train like that

[geraldt]

I love the ideas you have. I recently started creating mocs and might use the slopes as building sides

[bricksloth]

Great episode. If I had a bunch of road slopes I would consider using them for train parts.
(Not that I have any road slopes at all. But if I did.)

[bit_aviation]

I say 3-4 slopes parts will make it look perfect

[stevepulda]

I look at tons of things and wonder how to build them out of LEGO too lol! I think this is a pretty cool way to use the road slopes. I think tiling the tops of the cars would definitely add to the sleekness of the real life train. 👍🏻

This lego moc looks amazing! Im thinking about making my own lego train moc too! You have inspired me with this video! Subscribed!

I’ve been using the road slopes to make billboards for my city.

[ryangann]

Nice use of the road plate slopes. Too bad it couldn’t have more windows and a door that mini figs would be able to use to board the train.
Just the same good build.

Jag skulle själv rekommendera modulärhusen, de ser väldigt bra ut och är värt pengarna

[griffinrails]

Possibly they could be used as ramp ends for a car ferry?

Does sol town have a social credit system?
