Lego Krok

Just spotted this.
I am not into Lego but it’s a bit different.
Scale looks as if it might be G or possibly O.

Apparently, it is “6 studs wide” and fits their standard track.

Lego track gauge is 37.5mm. It doesn't go with anything else!

It doesn't seem to be articulated but it's hard to be sure.

It is articulated. You can see it from a thumbnail side shot in the link.

This one is articulated too.

These large models, are not *really* Lego though, are they?

There are so many specifically moulded parts, without which you can't make the model, they are really 'snap-together' plastic models.. Where the 'snap-together' part happens to be the way Lego bricks join..

The original Lego with its variety of standard bricks helped cultivate the imagination of children (and adults) that played with it. These specific models need no imagination although they are amazing in their own right.

Not really, they use lots of standard parts and I can’t see anything new on the outside. Initially you saw a lot of new parts but they tend to re use them in clever ways in other models. I’m quite astonished how they do and it’s why I consider much of the advanced Lego building good modelling.
Now if they just do the RhB Krok . . .

I believe that this has come from a slightly different source than the usual kid's set. Lego now host a website where builders can upload their own build sets. The public are allowed to lend their support to the ones they like, or vote for them. I think the sets that receive X amount of votes go on to be considered by Lego making into an actual kit. The result is you get some really interesting ideas, built out of the basic blocks people have access to.

The original upload for the Crok is here: Crocodile Locomotive SBB Ce 6/8 III interesting to see the detail that Lego appear to have taken out. A Spanish builder has recently uploaded a surprisingly accurate set of the New Walk in Leicester that I quite like the idea of.

They sort have twice already...

Set 4551 for the 9v train system back in the 1991.

There is another red one as well set 10183, too many wheels though.

Mine was shipped yesterday... a delayed father-day present from the kids (with a little financial help from my wife)...

I am really looking forward to this set! I admire the crocs since I got the LGB virus, but an LGB croc really doesn't fit my layout. So a Lego croc is a perfect substitute! And I am *really* looking forward to see if I can make the RhB version out of it!

Oh yes, that one was just perfect! The 10277 set (the just released Lego set) is different, for starters, the IDEAS set is 8 stud wide, the Lego set is 6 stud wide. And then there are 1000 other differences.
