Yeah, I use this LDConfig_alt for working in MLCAD. It makes it look a lot more
fun / realistic than black edge lines. Its not good for making instructions,
but I get an almost rendered look in MLCAD without having to run a separate
rendering program.

Let me know if there are any other colors that need adjustment.
Thanks,

I hardly ever use any of the special train elements. Other than track, the new
large wheels, and the old style couplers (with removable magnets), it has been a
couple of years since I used a special train piece. I use
http://www.bigbenbricks.com wheels otherwise, cause they tend to stay on the
axle better than LEGO wheels. None of my designs use the train base plate. I
usually use Technic plates or other Technic pieces.
I'm assuming that you know about http://www.bricklink.com for purchasing
individual parts.

I’ve been working on this for more than a year now. Powered through the
articulated drivers with 4 XL Power Functions motors. It is capable of pulling
all of the cars shown, which is quite a feet even to pull them by hand.
Things to note:
4 XL motors!!!
15 feet long
Articulated and fully l-guage trackable
New Cow Catcher design
Romovable Roof with air duct hatch
Room for four inside cab
Curved Firebox
Tender has quick battery access and semi-quick motor disconnect
List of cheats / non-LEGO usage:
BBB wheels on leading and trailing trucks
Brick Arms Mono-Pods and U-Clips
Coat Hangers inside tubing to maintain shape
Spacers / Washers to help the crown gears not strip out
No LEGO was cut, glued, or painted to make this model (unless you count tubing).
Additional pictures and early work in progress:

Does anyone know who it belongs to, so I can get his / her permission to use it?
Thanks much,
Scott

My third recommendation...
Utility Workers / Vehicles
Every town has needs that have to be taken care of like plowing the snow,
servicing power poles, and emptying garbage dumpsters. Some modern looking 6
wide vehicles for a theme of utility workers would make a good addition to the
existing police, fire, and rescue themes.
1) Snow Plow - $10 to $20 price range - truck with single utility worker,
adjustable plow or snow blower, dump bed for collecting 'snow', and some 'snow'
to push around
2) Garbage Truck & Dumpster - $20 to $30 price range - industrial garbage truck
two utility workers, dumpster with 'garbage', and movable front forks to lift
and empty the dumpster
3) Bucket Truck & Power Station - $30 to $40 price range - bucket truck with two
utility workers (recommend one female), road plate, power poles with power
lines, and small power station
Thanks,
Scott
