Exhaust Fans

Idea: Use BBB 17.6mm flanged wheels for exhaust fans on engine.   For example, this LEGO 10133 BNSF GP-38 Locomotive has been retrofitted with three black, BBB 17.6mm flanged train wheels.  No additional parts are needed.

Train Hand Car
Updated design 31 August 2005







The Train Hand Car is a fun little model, but it takes some patience to work reliably.

The real important part - The minifig must use NBA/Basketball legs with the springs removed and NBA/Basketball arms. 

When assembling the model make sure everything is loose and rotates freely.  The minifig(s) need to be adjusted so they move easily. 

The model will work with two minifigs as well.
