This is a release announcement of my first ever Train theme custom model kit:
Brickmania 301: 4-4-2 “Wild West” Locomotive
“Brickmania busts into the the Wild West and Train themes with a authentic
representation of an 1800's locomotive. This 9v motorized train kit includes
details, like working piston rods and headlights, and is ready to tame any wild
western frontier. This kit contains 439 pieces and is designed for intermediate
to expert level builders.
"Brickmania 301 is the first Train theme custom model kit, designed by Daniel
Siskind, to be offered by Brickmania. While there are already several other
custom kit builders offering trains and related kits (not to mention a renewed
interest by Lego® themselves), this design is innovative and unique enough to
warrant a production kit. Up to this point, no one has offered a kit based on
the classic American design of the ninteenth century, which conjures up faded
images of the "Wild West." While this kit was modeled after no specific design,
it contains all of the charactoristics typical of mid ninteenth century American
locomotive design; four guide wheels on an articulated boogie, followed by four
steam-powered drivers. However, the most unique feature of this kit is the
actual working piston rods and linkage, not available on any locomotive kit
since the 9 volt system appeared. Capping it off, this model also features a
detailed cab interior and actual working headlight. This kit the result of many
hours of design refinements and several generations of prototype models, backed
by more than 25 years of building experience. "301" is the perfect addition to
any size collection, looks great pulling any standard 6-wide cars, and is
compatible with all tested track configurations (except the cross track, which
was not available for testing)."
Each kit also comes with Guild of Bricksmiths™ Certificate of Authenticity,
listing the kit number and batch from when it was created.
This is a limited production, fan created model kit available on a first come,
first serve basis and may be discontinued at any time.
NOTE: My kits contain only Lego® bricks which are in NEW condition, handled only
in the sorting and kit assembly process.
Price is $150.00 plus shipping (insured Priority Mail is $8.00 in the USA,
higher elsewhere)
