LEGO Train Custom Handcar MOC #Tutorial

January 18, 2019 By GJBricks Leave a Comment

Reading Time: 3 minutes

LEGO Train Custom Handcar MOC Tutorial inspired by the LEGO Ideas Book 7777. This was a small build in the LEGO Ideas 7777 book and I wanted to build it using modern LEGO Train parts. Latest LEGO Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBf8HgP7ISk

For those that have read the 7777 LEGO Train Ideas book, you will recognize this as being similar to the Handcar featured at the end of that book. That’s because I was inspired to make this fun little LEGO Train build be that very build

You can see that it’s profile is different, sitting higher and not having the coloured plates that same way. This is mostly because of the size and shape of the newer train wheels – they are a lot taller than before. But, their design is more solid.

This build is filled out with some ladders, and I’ve used red and white to make it bolder and – I think – more interesting.

You can see the GJBricks SigFig Minifigure riding the handcar and I’ve included some silly shots of him on some bits of the Studsdburg LEGO City Train Loop.
