How to Customize Bogeys, Locomotives, and Personal Transit

You can alter both the wheel arrangements and the body styling of your trains using the custom bogey menu and locomotive building blocks.

Selecting Bogey Designs

Instead of using standard wheels on every carriage, open the interactive 3D preview menu to pick from over 30 bogey designs:

1. Open the bogey selection menu while preparing your train assembly.

2. Browse the 3D previews to compare styles, ranging from small single-axle setups to oversized wheel sets for heavy locomotives.

3. Match your chosen bogey to the track gauge you laid down, whether standard, narrow, wide, or monorail.

For light personal transit along your tracks without assembling a full train, place down a pedal-driven handcar and ride it directly between stations.

Styling the Locomotive Body

Once your bogeys are positioned on the track, build up the locomotive and carriages using specialized structural blocks:

• Locometal and Boilers: Frame the engine using 32 colored locometal building blocks, matching boilers, smokeboxes, and hazard patterns.
• Headstocks: Attach headstocks to the ends of your cars. These come in all vanilla wood types, 16 dye colors, and copycat styles that take on the appearance of inserted blocks.
• Visual Couplers: Complete the ends of your rolling stock by choosing between knuckle, split knuckle, screwlink, or link-and-pin visual coupler styles.
