How to build LEGO Train Shipping Containers (Custom MOC) #tutorial

October 25, 2019 By GJBricks Leave a Comment

Reading Time: 2 minutes

A tutorial to make a simple LEGO Train Shipping Container as featured in my previous LEGO Train Cargo MOC Video. These containers are 6×16 studs and are compatible with the LEGO Maersk Train 10219.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fS_mdwIk1vQ

Here’s the parts list. You can load this into Bricklink as a Wanted list. This is for a basic white container but you can change the colour however you want.

About this LEGO Toys Video:
This container was designed to compliment the containers that come with the 60052 LEGO City Cargo Train (one of my favourite trains). That has containers that are 6×8 in size and these are 6×16 studs. This design should work with with the Maersk train as well. Let me know if you try it.

About this LEGO Toys Video:
The Sanctum Sanctorum Showdown set was a set I got for Father’s Day a year ago and I’ve waited to build this MOC for so long. I’ve been itching to do it but really wanted to wait until I was confident I could get it just right! I think I did a good job.

This MOC is actually based off of two of the LEGO Sanctum Sanctorum (76108) sets combined with the smaller 76060 set which features some interesting play features which I’ve incorporated throughout this MOC.

The details include a Grand Staircase, Angled corner, interior furniture, a bathroom (important for the minifigures!), and lots more!

This is a quick tour of the MOC and I’ll be doing a full review/breakdown soon!

Let me know what you think in the comments.

@TrixBrix LEGO Train 3D Printed Track Preview

Reading Time: 2 minutes

You’ve probably seen my chopping up LEGO Train tracks before to make new and better shaped junctions. Well, @TrixBrix 3D print custom track that is a lot more flexible than the dissection method I use! Thanks BANANENBUURMAN for persuading me to try them! Lets have a quick run through of how these will help my LEGO Trains!

About this LEGO Toys Video:
This is a sort of LEGO haul video but not really, or maybe really. I can’t decide. But I got this TrixBrix track because I’ve really wanted to give it a try for quite some time! They are fully compatible with LEGO Trains and Train Track but you can customise the shape of them a bit to give you some better shapes and angles! Checkout my little Haul video and I’ll have some reviews and demos of the track in action soon!
