| | 2-6-4-T Steamlocomotive
|
|
Hi! I want to introduce my latest MOC, a 2-6-4-T steamlocomotive: (URL) Although there is no real-live-model of it, I got a lot of inspirations from british and german locos. The 2-6-4-T is 43 studs long, 7 studs wide (what else ;-) ) with a (...) (20 years ago, 29-Sep-04, to lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.build.schleim, lugnet.trains, FTX) !

|

(...) I think it is more a design change between the cover photo shoot and the creation of the instructions. Most other examples (e.g. 721 and 8860) have used new parts in the instructions and the set itself which were probably not yet available (...) (20 years ago, 29-Sep-04, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Perhaps the 1X2 brick fell off between assembly and the photography session beings it appears it's held on by just two studs from the under side of the plate. -Patrick (20 years ago, 29-Sep-04, to lugnet.trains)

| | Difference between front image and instructions in set 133
|
|
Comparing a render of the set 133 locomotive with my actual copy, I noticed a difference: a black 1x2 brick between the wheels on each side. Thinking that either my actual train or the ldraw file is wrong I checked the instructions again. And I (...) (20 years ago, 28-Sep-04, to lugnet.trains)

That is one sweet ride. Sleek. Love the canopy. It's great to see some monorail innovation. I look forward to seeing your master plan of a Mars base come together. -Brendan (20 years ago, 28-Sep-04, to lugnet.space, lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) Thanks for the kind words, Lenny! lol Sorry, I didn't mean to be cryptic, but I have an ambitious project that I may or may not be able to follow through with, so I hesitate to get too detailed about it. It's beyond a mere moonbase; in fact (...) (20 years ago, 27-Sep-04, to lugnet.space, lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) Manfred, thanks for posting these. It looks real nice. Not much change from the spray painted version. Best I can tell it's modeled off a EMD GP38, and based on the horn placemnet a BN egine that's been repainted to BNSF. But wether it's an (...) (20 years ago, 27-Sep-04, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

Excellent pictures! Thank you for sharing. Gosh, I hate to be impatient... but I cannot wait to see what rail cars LEGO will (*) produce to hang off the end of this locomotive. How soon after the release of the Sante Fe did we see James' various (...) (20 years ago, 27-Sep-04, to lugnet.trains)

Christian Gemünden has sleuted new pictures of the expected #10133 BNSF locomotive set on the Shop at Home site. This probably means we'll see the set entry emerge in the Trains section soon.

Where do you find Train stuff in stores? They don't seem to have any train stuff in most of my local TRU/Walmart/Target/etc. stores. Is it usually with the LEGO stuff, or hidden somewhere with other train stuff? Or do you buy it all online? -Jon, (...) (20 years ago, 27-Sep-04, to lugnet.trains)

You've certainly got my interest peaked as to what this Space project is - a moonbase perhaps? (...) (20 years ago, 27-Sep-04, to lugnet.space, lugnet.trains, FTX)
