The legendary X12 Atomic Powered Locomotive
My lil bro mentioned this train the other week and I had to model it in Lego. It’s still in initial design phase but it’s based on the proposal by a University of Utah professor in 1954, who theorized such a train could last an entire year on a single supply of atomic fuel. The back half is for radiators to keep it cool and the front half has…

L Gauge Compressed Air Locomotive
It’s the largest compressed air locomotive and this 0-8-0 Pennsylvania example is one of my projects in the works. Here are renders of the unusual train that I aim to eventually build IRL. For those unfamiliar with this type of train, compressed air locomotives use tanks of air instead of electric or firebox/steam for propulsion and are in…

I designed and built this model for him, and then I built one for myself too. LOL It’s all standard parts though my self-designed livery was printed directly…

Greetings! 🙂
Hello everyone. I am Phoenix Train Works and I model educational models of trains used in the STEM fields, both unusual locomotives and hazardous cargo cars. Here’s a photo of a GP 35 I designed and built for a relative who worked with trains back in the 1980s.

Introduction
Hello everyone. I am M.P.Lynes of Phoenix Train Works. I design and build unusual and hazardous trains used in the STEM fields such as nuclear energy, still mills, or mining. I model in L-gauge (LEGO). I started this hobby back during the pandemic. My first serious unusual train MOC was the Big Boy 4005. In a couple years, I got a…
