What a tease you are... Given the subject line, could it have something to do
with colors?
Just spill the beans, man. We have ways to make you talk, wise guy! If
necessary, we can arrange entry into the Witness Protection Program for you...
or fit you for a pair of Cement Overshoes... The choice is yours.

I hear those shoes a bit "form fitting"... that could be good!
No hints from me. The 1000steine members have the only hint as to what the next
exclusive set will be.
(Sorry for the possibly misleading subject line. Before anyone asks, it's not
about the old/new color debate)
So anyway, check with your local neighborhood 1000steine member for details :)

Hear, hear...
According to my source, a member of Lowlug attending the event, the "hint" was a
stack of 1x4 plates, with colours in the following order (seen from top to
bottom):
4x Dark Green
1x Yellow
5x Orange
1x Yellow
5x Dark Green
Thats all what was shown and said. Apparently this lead to some speculation in
the direction of "Train" amongst the attendies, but that's only speculation.
With friendly greetings, M. Moolhuysen.

Well, that's *almost* the color scheme of the classic "Empire Builder":

If LEGO came out with a train in that color scheme, I'd buy several copies!

It IS the color of BNSF modern locomotives so maybe we're getting an SD70 model
or something. Mr. Mathis hasn't been saying much lately...
http://www.finnmoller.dk/rail-usa/bnsf-paint-schemes/ and look at the Heritage 1
scheme. There are better pics out there...

Ditto. Dark green is a sweet color.

Of course you are correct! (the part about James remains to be seen). Also, an
“SD” might be questionable, because of the added complication of adding the
extra axle, so I would guess a “GP”. But you never know....
I didn’t quite understand that cruel Jake didn’t even tell the 1000Steinelanders
the whole story, but left it as a mystery to them as well.
That is the color scheme of BNSF (the product of the merger of Burlington
Northern and the Sante Fe) and with whom TLC had the licensing agreement to
produce the Super Chief. Both parties were obviously pleased with the results
and so they are at it again! WooHoo!
Now I am glad dark blue was chosen for the Maersk set; now we can have our
dark colored cake and eat it, too:-d

Agree, I think this sunny snapshot shows the BNSF Heritage 1 scheme rather
nicely:

I still read the group...but, I haven't been building nor designing much lately.
I have had nothing to do with whatever secret is hiding in Jake's sneak peak
colour stack teaser. I haven't got a clue about what that might become.
If this is a BNSF modern loc, that would be very cool. Regardless of train,
loc, or some other model, the colors will be nice to get. I have always
wondered if and when another "My Own Creation" set might get produced. Maybe
this is it? I honestly have no idea. Maybe an intermodal set will soon follow?
Combo-use for custom Maersk containers stickered from the recent Maersk ship? I
see real life BNSF sets with Maersk container stacks all the time here in New
Mexico-- that would be a nice set to have. I digress...
> Ditto. Dark green is a sweet color.
Yum.
Keep up the great building everyone! I am always enjoying seeing your new
creations. I'm still here...just taking a bit of a break.

A while ago, Anton Raves and I worked on this model of a BNSF loc, but we used
black instead of dark green:
Mathis and Raves BNSF loc.
I started the basic design and color scheme layout, and Anton finished it up.
Very fun collaborative project!

My bad, I had updated my Gallery but forgot to upload the image itself to the

the image now! :-)

I've seen 1000steine members posting since the event, but no one has relayed us
Jake's news. What is it?

See else-thread.
Jake isn't confirming/denying but it was reported that he showed a stack of
plates which *just happens* to closely match the BNSF Heritage 1 paint scheme
(band of dark green, stripe of yellow, band of orange, stripe of yellow, band of
dark green) and asserted some connection to the next model to be released under
the special projects aegis, apparently fueling speculation that we were going to
get a BNSF loco of some sort. Or something.
Hope that helps.

If I had to bet, I'd put my money on the locomotive from Jake's Book, in BNSF
livery.

Well, that would certainly be an interesting twist. Doesn't that loco use 1x1x2h
oldstyle windows? And it's certainly a handsome enough design.
Aside from that, though, there are other loco designs out there that have
better/larger parts selections...

Glad to see your sense of humour hasn't been forcibly driven from you, Jake!
That made me smile :)

Works for me.. TEASE the Germans, but give your real buddies the FULL SKINNY.

The BrickFest organizer(1) in me is forced(2) to point out that the correct way
to refer to BrickFest is with the F capitalized. The one coming very soon, in
Arlington VA, doesn't need a location qualifier the way BrickFest PDX did,
because this is THE BrickFest for the year.
So you can just say "BrickFest" or "BrickFest 2004" if you like. And you should,
if at all possible.
Hope that helps.
1 - and pedant
2 - Christina didn't make me do it. This time. But the voices in my head were
all over it.
