I just finished my first MOC using LDD 2.0 of a steam engine inspired by a 'Streamlined Hudson'. I took some artistic liberties due to the limited part/color selection in LDD (especially on the blue side covers around the cab), but I think it still (...)

Hi all, After LEGO 'published' the Blacksmith set by Dan as the first in their MOC series, none have followed. Do you know why they only published one MOC in their series? Also, was it 2001 when they published this set? And was the price 39,99$? (...) (17 years ago, 18-Apr-07, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.town, FTX)
