 | | The Old Dutch Windmill
|
|
Recently, the Northern Illinois Lego Train Club was given a task. For our first show at the Geneva History Center, each of us created a historic building in the town.

(...) A very nice piece of engineering! As usual, I love the details. As someone already noticed on Flickr, the two "shields" on the front seem to be a bit too thick, although I am aware this might be as best as it can get without ruining other (...) (18 years ago, 24-Apr-07, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

|
|
(...) It is fixed now. The ILTCO site had a e-mail change a while back where all of the addresses had to be specifically registered as opposed to using a catch all like we had done in the past. The change helped slow the amount of spam sent to ILTCO (...) (18 years ago, 24-Apr-07, to lugnet.trains)

|
Hi All, I completed 3 more building facades completed for Detroit. I think I have two more to go and then I am done. A few highlights: Maerske blue (I used quite a few of the 1x6 inverse slopes to get the 1x1 striping effect in the facade), dark (...)

After some work this weekend, my LDD 'Streamlined Hudson' has improved quite a bit. I scrapped the first one and created another MOC's with two stylings; a Dreyfuss and the the Empire State Express.

(...) Monorail trains just run slow. Just how slow depends on your perspective. I just ran two sets of monorail at the NASM (National Air and Space Museum) yesterday. The new monorail set I just acquired last weekend seemed to move a bit faster than (...) (18 years ago, 22-Apr-07, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

Indeed, Steve Hassenplug & I did exactly this at BrickFest 2005 with the GBC trains - we had two trains running around a single loops, but in this case used four isolated sections so that each side fo the loop was under the complete control of (...)

After a (too) long hiatus of train building, I am back. I build the Dutch "Koploper". (URL) I build 4 head (=engine) sections, and 4 passenger cars, I will take it to NMRA 2007 for its inaugural run. A pilot version ran at the GTE Columbus show, but (...) (18 years ago, 22-Apr-07, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
