Emerald Night : Set 10194-1 | BrickLink

However, in my opinion, this model takes detail and realism to a whole new level, elevating it from a being just toy train to a model worthy of display anywhere in the house, which is what LEGO intended. Actually the official name of the colour was "ozeanblau" (plus accents in "creme/Elfenbein" which was sort of a mixture between tan and light yellow), a colour not found in the LEGO range of colours. The next best thing would be dark blue. If you compare it to the picture of the real thing above it becomes apparent that it's not totally accurate, but it's a good representation.Look, the simple fact of the matter is: pretty as the Emerald Night may be, it isn't a particularly good representation of a steam locomotive. Just because it's better than the outright swill that Lego typically passes off for steam engines doesn't make it good in general - just in a relative sense. Given the price tag attached even when it was new, I took one look at the thing and started giggling. But I guess people are enamored of bright colors or something. I was just thinking that same thing earlier today. It wasn't a problem before there was a "reply" button, but now people just hit it to give a two line response to a multi-paragraph post. It's almost easier to scan up from the bottom and find the end quotes. Creator Expert trains are among the most sought after and expensive sets on the secondary market so, with a seemingly obvious demand for them, it's perhaps surprising that LEGO makes so few of them. The release of 10277 Crocodile Locomotive, seven years after the last one, is thus long overdue. The 37.5mm length is not derived by a certain scale ratio. While HO scale is a 1:87 scale (3.5mm to 1foot), resulting in a 16.5mm ( 0.65in) gauge from real life prototype 1,435mm ( 4ft 8 + 1⁄ 2in) standard gauge. Conversely, modeling standard gauge into Lego trains would require a scaling of (37.5:1435=) circa 1:38. With this scale, a minifigure (height 4 centimetres (1.6in)) in real life size would be 1.52 metres (5ft 0in).

Same here. When you want to get things work - and TLG is not giving you any answers: DO IT. Yourself. Would dark green have been better? Perhaps, but then 10194 Emerald Night was dark green so using it again was unlikely. A subassembly, upon which the minifigs can be seated, fits snugly inside, but can be removed to make room for the motor and battery box.The noses are 7-wide with a narrower 5-wide upper section. The two 2x4 tiles on the front looks a bit awkward but does appear to be roughly prototypical. The model is based on a Swiss Ce 6-8 Krokodil electric locomotive, which are so called because of the long 'noses' at each end. They were built around 1920 and three preserved examples are in still use on heritage lines in Switzerland. They are iconic in continental Europe, where several similar designs were used in other countries, but perhaps not so much in North America and the UK.

Still doesn't mean that any serious redesign would be required. Not at all. Swapping those few bits out is super easy. Especially with the updated 6x28 baseplate with it's larger holes for the Power Functions connectors. For comparison, the 10277 Crocodile uses a straight 1:1 gear ratio with a Powered Up Large motor and the same size driver wheels. I had to make my own half-wide Technic 13L beams. What's that saying, if you want something done right, you have to do it yourself?I've seens kids beg thair parents for a LEGO train and I've heard teenagers talk about how awesome of a set 10254 is and how they enjoyed building it. Can anyone who is running a Large motor (PF or PU) with an Emerald Night comment on whether you made any gear changes? The set, the latest in LEGO's new 'Adults Welcome' 18+ series, comes in a box that certainly has a very mature feel to it, almost to the point of looking drab. I'm not sure that visitors to a LEGO store who are not specifically looking for it would be attracted to it, to be honest. That said, it is my biased hope that this is the beginning of a new, regular line of elegantly-designed Expert-level, "18+" train sets. And if the history with the Technic supercars can teach us anything, it's that the next trains will be even more impressive and desirable, leaving this one (as pioneering and wonderful as it is) in the proverbial dust, desirable really only to completists. Also, why do people always ignore the fact that the Emerald Night was released at a time when many felt the direct aftermath of the financial crisis of 2007/2008 and/or were afraid to lose their jobs? I was at Uni at the time and working 30 hours/week at Burger King. For a whopping 5.60€/hour after the deduction of health care fees and stuff like that. New hires would have gotten even less than that, but we didn't hire anyway. We let people go. Boy, did our revenue go down in 2008/2009! I wanted an Emerald Night badly (well, three, actually) but figured it was smarter to put the money in my savings account, instead.

Plus, I think only one German Crocodile (class E94 / 194) was ever painted in the ozeanblau - elfenbein livery. Also, there's no need to update the Metroliner. It's the perfect LEGO train set. It has everything. It offers much more play value than 60197 (doors, windows, lights, more minifigs, beds, an engine and a much longer platform) and doesn't look too much like a shoe box on wheels even with it's not too over the top front pieces. All they'd have to do is replace the 9V stuff with Powered Up. Done.
