  Ghost Train
 
Hello all! Here are some pictures of my newest creation! The Ghost Train (ooooh, cue scary music). This train is built completely using clear elements (with the exception of the wheels, motor, and other necessary train bits)! All of the parts are (...)

(...) layout. The layout looks nice, too--and how can you go wrong with a hangin'? "Ropes were made for hanging, that's why God gave us necks..." Derek (20 years ago, 4-Jun-04, to lugnet.build)
 
  Re: Ghost Train
 
(...) Simply amazing. Though, it saddens me a little since it means another idea I had been thinking about has been realized by someone else (and, most likely, better than I *would* have built if I had found the time.) I do find Lugnet to be (...) (20 years ago, 4-Jun-04, to lugnet.build)

  Re: Ghost Train
 
Very clever, Bill. And well-executed. I had tried a similar experiment with clear bricks when I made "The Invisible Car" as a concept vehicle for the 2002 Ultimate LEGO Vehicle contest: (URL) ghost probably would have made a more appropriate driver, (...) (20 years ago, 5-Jun-04, to lugnet.build)
 
  Re: Ghost Train
 
(...) Very neat, I made a Ghost Train in 2002 for a Train display but built it in white with a ghost driver and skeleton fireman. The train has appeared at 2 shows and kids really like it. At the last display we had it coming out of a tunnel on an (...) (20 years ago, 5-Jun-04, to lugnet.trains)

(...) When Wonder Woman parks her invisible jet to fight bad guys, how does she find it once she is done? Does anyone ever walk into it? Do her invisible jet engines also use invisible jet fuel? So many questions left unaswered. Scott (20 years ago, 5-Jun-04, to lugnet.build)
 
  Re: Ghost Train
 
(...) Hey thanks Mike! But don't let the fact I built one stop you! This was my first attempt at a train and was based on the my own train sets, so it isn't anything fancy! But I know what you mean, there are a few things I have been mulling over to (...) (20 years ago, 6-Jun-04, to lugnet.build)
 
  Re: Ghost Train
 
(...) Thanks! I haven't seen any of your trains, but I imagine yours would still be better! These only took about 4 hours to build total, and I only used the My Own Train as reference. Im sure there are MANY inaccuracies (as well as mispelled (...) (20 years ago, 6-Jun-04, to lugnet.build)
 
  Re: Ghost Train
 
(...) Cool! Do you want to borrow some of my clear wheels to go with? :) (...) Sorry about that, that was definitely NOT my intention! Perhaps I can make it as a set to go with that Polish artists sets? You know the ones I'm talking about. (...) (...) (20 years ago, 6-Jun-04, to lugnet.build)
 
  Re: Ghost Train
 
(...) Very cool Mark, I like how it looks in white! Pehaps if Lego ever made a good selection in Glow-in-the-dark bricks, it could be made in those! I did try to light the inside of the model, but ran out of time, or just couldn't figure it out! I (...) (20 years ago, 6-Jun-04, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: Ghost Train
 
(...) I was wondering the same thing! But does she become invisible by being inside the jet, or does it just look like a woman sitting down in a bathing suit zooming around? And if it does, does she get mistaken for Superman in drag? Yes indeed, so (...) (20 years ago, 6-Jun-04, to lugnet.build)
