After reading about this locomotive in an article written by Tim David in RAILBRICKS 8 and seeing this version built by Gavyn Rogers, I decided to give it a go. After all, it is the only true LEGO locomotive.

I used pics that I found on Flickr by someone who goes by “Sprottenpower”. So here is my version compared to his pics:

A shout out to my German Schleimer friends; this build is for you! It features studs in all six directions, and ja, es ist Zehnweit! Voohoo!

Leg godt!

Awesome, Rosco! When I clicked, I didn’t expect it to be able to be tuned to pitch!

Well played;-)

This is cool, but you already know that, since I already told you how awesome it is. Of course, the only thing that would make it cooler was if it was going to be displayed at Brickfete.

Janey “Yes, I used Rosco for a shameless plug, Red Brick”

Ok, more seriously, its an impressive build, has nice lines, and sounds pretty good as well. No more cranes and bridges for you.

   So, do you like AVMEP part and AVMEP buildings?

I have been thinking for a long time about half-stud offsets in two directions going around corners of buildings so as to quoin the bricks. Perhaps this piece could facilitate that.

I see three simples AVMEP buildings
  • stacking a jumper plate onto two others - an obvious build but two plates thick,

  • place a 1x1 round plate between four studs - it saves parts, is one plate thick but that’s not so easy to stack a round plate this way,

  • and the last one is based on the now famous NUT


So, do you like AVMEP part and AVMEP buildings?

  1. less clutch power for immediate disassembling
  2. limited jumper plate colour availability for increased building challenge

Which contradicts your claim of uselessness for the following reasons:
  1. less clutch power is sometimes desirable - I have used this exact construction in a GBC module to allow easy removal of a part for maintenance. The clutch is even less than a regular stud in a regular hole - that is, barely any.
  2. There are colours in which the jumper tile exists, but not the 1x2 plate (exercice left to the reader to find them; one is as recent as 2009)
So there, this is actually useful!


   To conclude I encourage you to share your favorite NUTs (New Useless Technique) in reply to this post

Well, it may not qualify as useless either, but I’ve contemplated using 1x2 hinge bricks in a fixed, studs-up position, instead of regular 1x2 bricks. The reason is simple: to have a smooth-looking brick, with hollow studs on top; as you said sometimes you need that (although now you mention it, the 1x1 brick with hole would work just as good)


   Schleim well,

Didier
