Due to the nature of the camera I was using for the first shoot of this MOC, some people were confused as to which end was the front. I chose to do no modifying on this MOC. At the time it was constructed, this was virtualy all the brown pieces I (...) (21 years ago, 3-May-05, to lugnet.space)

A park rep gave us a "suggested idea" after Sunday's ISD build and I personally feel it would be better for a park or company rep (like Jake) to make an (...)

Ok... the set is very cool looking. Great work LEGO®. However, I do think the set needs at least one or two train minifigs with TTX or BNSF logo stickers or even printed on the minifigs. The reasons is I am thinking is... 1) There are LEGO fans who (...) (21 years ago, 2-May-05, to lugnet.trains)
