All aboard for a trip down memory lane! As a kid, my days were filled with Duplo, LEGO, and the occasional BRIO train adventure. Sometimes, I’d even line up minifigs on the tracks and let my brother’s Thomas the Tank Engine barrel through—but that’s another story! So when we at BrickNerd learned that BrickJournal was doing an issue with a giant train on the cover, I knew I had to build something small but mighty. With some expert trackside assistance from our Nerd-in-Chief Dave, I designed this delightful little locomotive. Pretty cool, eh? Thanks to the newer 1×1 round plate with a clip on the bottom, each car couples together just like the real thing, allowing the train to pivot smoothly as it rolls along. Even better? You can make this train as long—or as short—as you like by adding more passenger cars, box cars, or inventing your own custom rolling...
