I think you're talking two different thing here (though both would be
exceedingly cool.) A Model Team loco would be about as compatible with normal
Lego trains as other Model Team sets are with minifs, i.e. not at all.

If I ever get around to working on a large project a locomotive would be high
on my possibilities list. Not much out there for wheels but I could probably
make due with some of those from big Technic motorcycles. If anyone has
done/does do this I'd love to see pics!

track so that they could run on another brand of track.

model team? They Have done 3 Vans #5550, #5561 and #5581. there are 3 • model
team trucks 5561, 5571 and 5580 not to mention 5590 and 5591. O.K. we have

Book. Am I lone in this or are there others out there who too would like • to
something different in the modle team sets.

I actually am looking at the same thing. Not all Model Team sets are incompatible with mini-fig scale. Most are larger than that, just due to the fact that they are big sets. Imagine how much larger a Locomotive is when compared to a semi truck. To (...) (25 years ago, 27-Jan-00, to lugnet.modelteam)
