GUESS WHO'S BACK FROM THE FROM THE WORKSHOP BABYYYYYYY WOOOO, thunder steam. . Express yay Some updates for ya

The creator of the "Thunder Steam Express" LEGO MOC (My Own Creation) has returned to the project after a break, adding several new features and modifications. The builder, /u/rolling_thunder125, has significantly expanded the model, incorporating details like smoke effects, wheel guards, sand pipes, and a modified smoke box door, showcasing a dedication to intricate design.

The MOC now includes Thor's hammer, Mjölnir, at the front, aligning with the "Thunder Steam Express" name. The builder has also extended the tender with a cab roof extension and enlarged the gas tank for the diesel-powered bogies. Additionally, two chests have been added to store iron and brass parts, reflecting the model's detailed aesthetic. An auxiliary tender has been included, painted in black and red, to provide enough fuel for a journey to Mars and back.

To contrast the complexity of the "Thunder Steam Express," the builder has also created a smaller 20-ton diesel shunter, humorously named "Phillip." The post includes a photo of the original 4-6-2 Pacific loco design from February 2024, highlighting the evolution of the project.

The "Thunder Steam Express" is a highly detailed and ambitious LEGO MOC. If you're inspired to build your own creations, you might find a LEGO brick separator useful for taking apart and rebuilding your models.
