Hi Everyone,
I'm Samarth Moray, and I'm 16. I've been playing with Lego, like most of you,
since I was a kid. I'm new to lugnet because this is my first post,
but I'm 'old' to lugnet because I've been lurking around for a year now. That
basically means I know most of you. And now you kinda know me :-)
My favourite themes are Train, followed by Space and Mechs (neither of which I'm
really good at, but I give it a try sometimes anyways). I occasionally dabble in
other themes, mostly town. My favourite builders are James Mathis (for all the
SNOT), John Neal (for the 8-wides) and Ross Crawford, (for the technic in his
trains). They and lots others here make some really neat and inspiring MOCs.
Here are the links to my MOCPage (leave a review if you like, they make me
happy) and my Brickshelf Gallery, and I hope to hear some feedback from you
guys. Also note that most of my pics from now on will not be as blurry as some
of those here are:

I basically model my own: I'm from India, and since pretty much every other type
of train has been already modelled in Lego, I thought it would be a good idea to
do something close to home. I may also make some other Asian locomotives. Please
also check out http://www.irfca.org , a site which has a lot of pictures and
other stuff on Indian Railways. I'm a member here, and I find pictures for my
prototypes from here. (That and the daily trips on the Bombay suburban line :-))
Lately I've been working on a big project (secret!), which I will hopefully be
able to see through to the end. Clue: It's three and a half feet long, and
expected to get bigger.
Regards,
Samarth
PS. can anyone tell me how to make images appear in the posts? thanks.

| (...) Hi Samarth, I especially like your co-co undercarriage arrangement, with the actual motor hidden in the centre. Although it would mean the loco hangs out more in the corners, it is much easier to make a reasonable length co-co loco ;) ROSCO (20 years ago, 15-Nov-04, to lugnet.trains)
