Hi guys,
here you are pics from Itlug Legofest 10th,that took place in the
neighbourhoods of Bologna on march,17th.

Absolutely fantastic images!

My highlights, not being a 8w fan, would go to the road vehicles: the APE is
awesome, and the trucks look "smooth" (not exactly the word, I hope you get
the idea)
The trains are nice too, heh! Somehow I'm familiar with the ItLUG car, but
the others (especially the one with the looooong cars) are very impressive
pieces of work.
The buildings... well, all I can say is that I'd love to build some to the
same scale :-)  But before that... please show me the computers'
instructions!!!  :-P

A question arises in my mind, though: how have you accomplished the
modification of the metroliner, in order to use monorail as base? Didn't
that cause instability? You mention it *might* jump on the dune... but what
about curves, are they negociated at high speed with ease? What about the
ground, is it "lowered" comparing it to the original (train version)?

Great show indeed. All the best on the 6th, and in Zwolle! :-)

(...) Monorails run pretty slowly which makes them able to take quite a load. I just built a fairly tall 6-wide monorail (at least as tall as the Metroliner monorail) which runs just fine. Frank (22 years ago, 27-Sep-02, to lugnet.town, lugnet.trains)
