Video summary

Press to jump

0:00Vehicles cross the tracks before barriers lower for passing passenger and cargo trains.
2:08Unboxing leads into time-lapse construction of the frame, motor housing, bodywork and cab.
3:25The completed locomotive appears on a brick-built presentation track stand.
3:30Motorised running tests begin, with Disney and Santa Fe trains later joining the concentric loops.
8:44Close-ups reveal the cab interior, removable roof and sticker details.

The level-crossing barriers come down before the box even opens. MADABOUTLEGO gives its new locomotive a proper railway introduction, with passenger and cargo trains passing through a miniature traffic scene before construction begins.

"LEGO Trains Brick Railroad Locomotive 910066" was the channel's only new upload this week, drawing around 41,000 views. The yellow and dark blue BrickLink Designer Program model, designed by Thomas Roeder, takes shape in time-lapse: frame, wheels, motor housing, then bodywork and cab. By the running tests, it has company on the floor's concentric track loops, including Disney and Santa Fe trains. A pet dog briefly watches the proceedings, too.

Viewers are comparing the locomotive's appearance to an F3, while one asks whether the build uses one motor or two. The description says it can be motorised with two Technic Large Motors, a useful distinction for anyone studying the running shots as closely as the finished model.

The new locomotive currently draws the most daily views among the channel's active uploads, with October's "LEGO Trains, Manual Level Crossing 4539" close behind. That crossing's weighted gates and control room bring a little 1991 railway engineering into a week centred on a new design.

Across the channel, weekly views reached roughly 2.6 million, while subscribers stayed unchanged. Daily viewing is above its usual level. Among nearby craft channels, Printsculptors had a particularly busy week and Scam Nation a quieter one; MADABOUTLEGO's contribution was a single new engine and plenty of track time.

Looks like a Santa Fe F3 locomotive.

Thanks for the video! Did you put 1 or 2 of the L motors in the train?

I'm very sad but happy at the same time. I mean, I love the BrickLink design program, and this train is gorgeous. The thing is, I love steam locomotives and high-speed trains, and I like these trains—the American ones—a little bit because they have a design like this, but I really love this model.
