What an impossibly cute undertaking and video. It’s additionally tremendous spectacular from a technical standpoint!
See extra undertaking particulars from Brick Know-how on YouTube:
Lego isn’t designed for constructing a big prepare that may carry cats as a result of it lacks giant wheels and rails for easy motion. To unravel this, 3D printing was used to create these components. The rail switches use magnets or rubber for automated altering. The bogies have a suspension system to deal with uneven tracks and curve tilts, with every wheel powered by a robust, compact Lego L motor. The axles are made from aluminium to keep away from bending beneath the load.
