Greetings! This ship has already been briefly glimpsed here, but now thanks to slightly improved photography techniques AND available time, I've been able to construct a full page of photos for my second most recent MOC! (URL) Enjoy! Dave S. (14 years ago, 19-Jul-10, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) No. That is, I don't think so. The train features in a "make believe" scene at the start of the movie, and the version we see at this time looks VERY different from the LEGO set. Not only is there a coal car, but there are at least three (...) (14 years ago, 18-Jul-10, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

He's doing the electronics and BrickForge did a (...) (14 years ago, 18-Jul-10, to lugnet.org.ca.obb, lugnet.general, lugnet.parts.custom, lugnet.parts.mod, FTX) !

Here is a question for those of you who have seen the movie, Toy Story 3. I haven't yet, but hope to, soon. The question is: Is the (URL) 7597> the exact same toy in the movie (that is, does Andy own LEGO set #7597), or is set 7597 LEGO's version of (...) (14 years ago, 18-Jul-10, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

Does this fit on the RC/9V tracks, or does it require something different? I have see photos of it, and the three carriages do look like they have the wheel set for the RC/9v tracks. (14 years ago, 18-Jul-10, to lugnet.general)

(...) Woody picks up about 1/2" over a standard minifig, but a good chunk of that is his massive noggin and hat. The leg pieces are three studs long when seated, much like the standard legs are two studs long, so you'll actually get about 5/16" (...) (14 years ago, 17-Jul-10, to lugnet.general, FTX)
