[MOC] My Completed 1:45 Scale LEGO Train Fleet & Layout

[Sérgio]

Hi everyone!

After a long time building and refining, I’m excited to share my LEGO train MOC collection, all inspired by real-life Portuguese railways. Trains have always been a deep passion of mine, and I’ve poured that into creating accurate, detailed replicas in LEGO — all in 1:45 scale.

All of my locomotives are fully motorized: most are powered using Power Functions and Buwizz for control and performance, while two models use Circuit Cubes for more compact setups. I've done my best to capture the essence and style of Portuguese rolling stock and bring them to life on rails.

The layout itself is still a work in progress, stretching 3 meters across shelves — and I’ve officially run out of space! It's inspired by scenes from the Portuguese railway network, including abandoned buildings and rural elements commonly seen along older lines. I’ve tried to reflect not just the trains, but also the atmosphere and textures of those settings.

@Sérgio thanks for sharing. Very nice collection and splendid diorama!

Amazing work. Not sure what is more impressive, the trains or the scenary. The abandoned buildings are superb. I love the broken windows and the vegetation creeping through the ruins. Top job.

Phenomenal collection. The time and effort to attain those levels of detail shows. Brick On!

So many inspirational builds on those shelves. Looking forward to many more amazing trains to complement these.

Tipping hat - with a slight nod - but with a deep bow ...

Breathtaking. I wrote that so many times, when you presented your MOCs individually - and always admired the love, passion, and for sure persistence this approach needs. But seeing a) all these fantastic models on the shelves and b) the entire diorama on the sideboards ...

Thank you very much for sharing - also for showing what is possible with LEGO. You pushed the limits much further than I could ever imagine!

All the best
