(...) Peter - Very nicely done. I really like the archetecture and design. Had the 4954 set come out before the Corner Cafe (or had caught my attention before the cafe), I probably would have attempted to make a station from this set instead... and (...) (17 years ago, 4-Jan-08, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Dave - Basically the same comments as I just posted on the MOC page. I really like the look of the station. Very clean and 'tight' design on all sides. I'm looking forward to seeing how you do the interior touches. Nice work. -Ted (17 years ago, 4-Jan-08, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

|

Hey there all you train-heads! I finally got around to doing another train MOC while I had some time off over X-mas. I went for a small train station like you might see in a little town in Europe. I did a bunch of image searching on the web and (...) (17 years ago, 4-Jan-08, to lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.build, lugnet.trains, FTX) !

The name translates to "Coast Guard Beach Truck with (...) (17 years ago, 3-Jan-08, to lugnet.town, lugnet.trains, FTX)

Thanks for the kind words Jerry. I was almost tempted to drop the site after switching ISPs. It had only 4500 hits in 1.5 years where as I have YouTube videos over 35000. But I got my first fan email and I decided to keep it going and add some new (...) (17 years ago, 2-Jan-08, to lugnet.trains)

Nice model, does it use any parts (other than the minifigs and train bits) that are not in the 4954 set? (17 years ago, 2-Jan-08, to lugnet.trains)

Hi Peter, I'm impressed - not only about your idea on the 4954 which the set is virtually asking for. Also very excellent website and lots of interesting ideas I hope you won't mind to see re-utilized elsewhere ;) Thanks, Jerry (17 years ago, 2-Jan-08, to lugnet.trains)

Hi, I was just wondering - has anyone yet considered whether there might be a way to "9voltify" the LEGO 7996 set (switched rail crossing)? I mean, there we do have a very useful piece of track, however it is only usable for RC trains so far. What (...) (17 years ago, 31-Dec-07, to lugnet.trains)

Hey all, I know, it's been a loooong while since I've posted anything (let alone a MOC announcement). But I've been working on this since before Christmas, and I think that I've finally reached the point where I must stop, or it will take over the (...)

Thomas, thanks for your feedback - I think the height issue will sort itself out with the additional modules I'm starting on right now. Adjacent modules will either run to greater heights (as for the tunnel mountain) or as low as 2-3 bricks high, (...) (17 years ago, 30-Dec-07, to lugnet.trains)
