|
|
Just noticed that Lego has decided to include the 2X2 electrical plate as a train accessory. I was wondering when the Lego marketing team was going to make this type of move! It only took them 9 months to market the piece correctly and maybe make (...) (21 years ago, 21-Jul-03, to lugnet.trains)

(...) No, no engine in them. Have to build one yourself. I did, using 4 1x2 hinges, 8 1x1 round plates, a 2x2 round, a 2x2x2 bracket, and some 2x plates. It's not like it takes a lot of pieces, just that it isn't included :(. I did another minor (...) (21 years ago, 21-Jul-03, to lugnet.trains)

(...) No, it is a turning side dump hopper. The sides are made up of the pieces from the cloud city car (red 5L 2w 2h, bent at 3l), and then have technic pins holding them to the ends. It is quite an inventive way to make it discharge. It is a clean (...) (21 years ago, 21-Jul-03, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Do you have a link to that site? From the names it sounds like these are the wagons from the My Own Train Theme from Lego. The first one could be the open-freight wagon, second the hopper, third the passenger wagon, then the tanker, fifth the (...) (21 years ago, 21-Jul-03, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Hi Tim, yes, you (and Thomas) are obviously right! I agree on your conclusions: there is an extra section of ca. 8studs length added into the track in the area of the level crossing (which itself has an span of 16studs). If 16 studs are in top (...)

Having just got an old digital camera, I can now start to add photos of more of my creations. This is a recent one - I based it on the palaces of St. Petersburg, but it is both a railway station and hotel on the upper floors. (URL) hope you like it (...)
