That's pretty neat.

It has a very quirky appearance to it.  It reminds me if Disney's Toon Town.

What are you using as a motor?  It looks like an old 4.5v motor (the large
black kind with a chassis).  However, it looks like you are using technic
rods on both axels.  The old 4.5 V motor had plugins for the older wheels in
those positions.  It just had a single spot for a technic rod in the middle.

Hello fellow lugnetters,

I have just built the Fabuland Express mkI
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=1544

It is built on a 4.5v motor, with a Technic axle.
It is 8 studs wide.
The wheels are brown. (What other colors do those round bricks come in?)
I have used mainly Basic + Fabuland pieces & 1 Duplo piece for the • chimney.
It is just a start for now.

Train people:
What are the proportions like? How can I improve?
Fabuland people:
How can I make it more Fabulandish?

Please let me know what you think & how to make it better.

Carl Watson
