Some might say that engines that look like a big box have no soul. That they are just what they are, big boxes with no aesthetic value. I however tend to differ. Just like how American diesels have found […]

It’s a seldom opportunity that we are able to review a new official LEGO train set here on Brick Model Railroader. But, at long, last, we have again been blessed with a new train, even if it has a well-known […]

Great review, Glen!
Another site specifically stated that you cannot operate this train with a remote, and you stated that you can. Did you ACTUALLY use a remote from one of the City sets to operate this train? If you did, I am buying this set.
-
Thanks, Vincent!
Yes, I used a remote from one of the new City train which also use Powered Up. The Disney train can pair to it an operate just as the City trains can.

Now that it turns out that TLC has officially phased out the Li-Po battery packs for PF, I’m wondering how we as a community are going to power our PF motors from now on. The ‘easiest’ way would obviously be to […]

Who are these “Well Known Clone Friends” you speak of? Lepin?

Earlier this year we announced the first official locomotive kit from Brick Model Railroader, the Reading T-1 4-8-4 steam locomotive. Since then we have be a bit quiet about this project, only releasing a few […]
-
Can you tell us more about how the model operates?
Can the T-1 navigate the sharp r40 curves & switches?
Is it to early to ask about motorization?
Definitely don’t want to spoil everything, but am just wondering what I’d need to prepare myself for this exquisite model.
Thanks again for all of your hard work & dedication to the craft!!!~Nick Jackson~

Nick,
The T-1 operates via PF remote and a PFx brick. Instructions to configure the PFx properly will be included.
The T-1 can just barely navigate R56. We recommend R72 or greater.
It uses 2 PF L motors.
Hope this helps!

When will pre-ordering be availabe?
-
We would like to open pre-orders in the next several weeks.
-
-
Sorry, one more question. How fast can the locomotive run? Hopefully faster than the pf train motor
-
The PF train motor operates at very high speeds. Our T-1 will run plenty fast enough while hauling a long and heavy train. You can look at the announcement article we made earlier this year for the video of the locomotive in operation. It handled the train you see with ease.

I’m new to brick models, can you tell me about the price we are looking at fo the model. Thanks
-
Hi Garry, we haven’t given out a price yet since we have a few outstanding items we are waiting to hear back on regarding pricing.
Pricing and ordering information will be detailed in the pre-order announcement coming this Friday. Thank you.
-
-
Has the model been released for pre sale order?
-
Hi Leah, we released the kit for pre-order in October and we have since closed pre-orders after extending the period by a few days. We are currently working to ship this kit and bring others to fruition.

As my update? It’s been over 2 years now. Thank you

Of all the designs which I regard to be “almost unattainable” in terms of LEGO modeling, those of Sir Nigel Gresley are perhaps at the top of the list. Probably one of the greatest locomotive designers of all […]

As promised, this is a follow-up to the post by BigDaedy and me about how the both of us designed our Bombardier Traxx’es.
