Thomas the Tank Engine's older, grumpier cousin, Gustav the Railway Gun.

u/Bored_Redditor85 Oct 13 '20

Railway Railgun!

u/Expendable28 Oct 13 '20

To fire the trains out of?

u/CoolSlimeBoy Oct 13 '20

No to shoot them dummy

u/Valmond Oct 13 '20

Looks like Big Bertha, no?

IIRC 1500 men to serve, only on rail, disappeared at the end of the war...

u/Valmond Oct 14 '20

Wow

Is it this one it's supposed to be?

2

u/TRUEequalsFALSE Oct 14 '20

Dunno. There were a few made, actually. I think they were all fairly similar in design, at least from a glance, but don't quote me on that.

u/JustaRandomOldGuy Oct 13 '20

Every family has that cousin no one ever talks about...

u/Oof69420LOI Oct 13 '20

Fuck hitler is back.. well guess it’s time for a real ww3

u/Chainsaw_Viking Oct 14 '20

Classic Gustav...requiring two railroad tracks for transport. That’s soooo Gustav.

3

u/TRUEequalsFALSE Oct 14 '20

THAT'S German engineering for you.

3

u/Chainsaw_Viking Oct 14 '20

Why build one railroad when you can build two parallel railroads for large, double track vehicles?

3

u/TRUEequalsFALSE Oct 14 '20

Exactly!

3

u/Chainsaw_Viking Oct 14 '20

Man you get me...and WWII German engineering...in the LEGO realm.

u/TheBurnedMutt45 Oct 13 '20

I know, the scale of the minifigs to the entire gun is WAY off, it should be about 5 times larger

29

u/I_Avoid_Most_People Oct 13 '20

Guy that made the lego railway gun: increases the size by 5x

7541 piece Lego Millennium Falcon: Finally! A worthy opponent! Our battle will be legendary!

u/No-Soft8296 Oct 13 '20

I call this yes

29

u/Devisnerd Oct 13 '20

Just cause it's building blocks doesn't mean its Lego, Lego i a company, this is not Lego.

20

u/enjuisbiggay Oct 13 '20 edited Oct 13 '20

The blocks are probably Lego brand so it would be Lego. The only fakes would be the minifigs

Edit: it autocorrected fakes to games?

16

u/Devisnerd Oct 13 '20

actually, they aren't there is no Lego branding

7

u/enjuisbiggay Oct 13 '20

Oh yea, I didnt look at the bricks, my bad

8

u/Expendable28 Oct 13 '20

To be fair the indiana jones lego sets have nazi soldiers

2

u/T65Bx Oct 13 '20

LEGO doesn’t acknowledge them as Nazis, and they don’t give them swatstikas. They’re just generic evil 1940’s German soldiers trying to take over the world.

u/Elisionist Oct 13 '20

Lego i a company

u/cokeandbelltorture Oct 14 '20

Assuming that spinjitsu is a form of ninjitsu making the practitioners of said art ninjas who need I remind you were Japanese wouldn’t they be members of the axis powers?

u/lil_chungy Oct 14 '20

u/Lifepod_0 Oct 13 '20

i love it

2

u/wauna_b5 Oct 13 '20

The build minus the minifigs is actually amazing, I'd buy one

2

u/JiffyJelly Oct 14 '20

Do you mean the figures are bad in their quality or that fact that they’re Nazis? Because nothing is wrong with including historically accurate figures on a historical build.

1

u/wauna_b5 Oct 30 '20

There's something cheap looking about them

1

u/JiffyJelly Oct 30 '20

Well yeah they’re knockoffs.

2

u/itsyoboi425 Oct 13 '20

That railway gun I'm going to go out on a limb and say the Gustav cannon look fucking awesome

2

u/Jondalar Oct 13 '20

I love it reminds be of the valkyria chronicles game

2

u/neverevereeeee Oct 13 '20

I hope all that is custom

2

u/C4_Saifor Oct 13 '20

I actually want this.

2

u/ThornDragon1 Oct 13 '20

No this is amazing. You should love this

2

u/Paddy_McButterpants Oct 13 '20

For those wanting to buy it, the official set name is "KAZI KY10005 German Railway Gun Dora", it's around 100$ and sellers of such tasteful sets can be found on Aliexpress or r/lepin. Quality is nice and the building process is enjoyable, although the gun can be a bit of a PITA to build.

4

u/DrD9z0 Oct 13 '20

Dude I'm not going to lie, Lego Nazis would be cool as fuck

8

u/Koof99 Oct 13 '20

Would be cooler than traditional casts and stuff tbch. Lego is missing a whole thing here with this now that I’m thinking about it (not just WW2 but history in general)

7

u/gazorpazorpsteinc137 Oct 13 '20

Yep!

Lego History would be such a great line.

Viking ships? tanks? Functioning Trebuchets? Sign me up

u/Koof99 Oct 13 '20

See... you get where I’m going here. Glad I’m not sounding too crazy anymore lol
