Well, this MOC has been a WIP for years, and now I have finally finished it (with, of course, help from my consultant, chief designer, and son, Ross:-) (URL) (Click (URL) HERE> for more pics after moderation) When Ben Fleskes starting producing his (...)

  Re: 10219 Maersk Container train set
 
(...) Whoa! That is awesome. That engine is epic, the Maersk color scheme rocks on a train. Even the flatbed cars look great, and I normally don't care for flatbeds. This will look good along my BNSF and... ahem... Enlighten brand Union Pacific. I (...) (14 years ago, 23-Jan-11, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) Would somebody please tell Ben that it isn't April 1st yet? Thanks, JOHN (14 years ago, 23-Jan-11, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
 
  Re: 10219 Maersk Container train set
 
(...) Doh! (I wish there was a easy to edit on LUGNET. Correct: "I am sure some of you will want to buy multiples of this set." -Abner (14 years ago, 23-Jan-11, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

  Re: Ararat 1972
 
(...) I remember that one well. Excellent :) (...) This is true. But making this took my entire luggage allowance so any expansion would involve mailing stuff etc. Doable but a pain. I have actually considered that style of project for my own, very (...) (14 years ago, 22-Jan-11, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
 
  Re: Ararat 1972
 
(...) Thanks, I didn't get any good shots of the hotel but let's say it was inspired (ahem copied) by your work. I'll fix it up and take some pics sometime. I've also got a three piece MOC that I think you'll dig. Tim (14 years ago, 22-Jan-11, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
 
  Re: Ararat 1972
 
(...) Sorry to hear that it doesn't exist anymore. (URL) I do love collaborations, though; we did the same sort of thing with (URL) Jonathan Lopes> in Detroit back (URL) in 2007>. (...) Yes, I like that effect, but that doesn't mean that one (...) (14 years ago, 21-Jan-11, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
 
  Re: Ararat 1972
 
(...) This is excellent. I love the fence and also the angles of everything - the roads and tracks. Looks very realistic. Look forward to the next one. Jonathan (14 years ago, 21-Jan-11, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
 
  Re: Ararat 1972
 
(...) That's just very very nice. Excellent work, and great pictures to show it off to the rest of us. JohnG, GMLTC (14 years ago, 21-Jan-11, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
 
  Re: Ever Had Your Train Layout TP'd? lol
 
(...) I don't know if this is a coincidence or not, but Paul essentially confessed AND ratted you out on my FB page just today! LOL Hope that you didn't throw out a shoulder, Benn! :-P JOHN (14 years ago, 21-Jan-11, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.trains.org, lugnet.trains.org.tcltc, FTX)
 
  Re: Ararat 1972
 
(...) Excellent! Some of the road vehicles look pretty sharp too, e.g., the bus. Benn (14 years ago, 21-Jan-11, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
 
  Re: Ever Had Your Train Layout TP'd? lol
 
(...) Heh heh heh, who'd of ever thunk that TPing someone would turn out to be a mitzva. I thought I had a photo of my coconspirator in the act, but I can't find that shot of Paul now. I've got to say though, tossing those tiny rolls was murder. (...) (14 years ago, 21-Jan-11, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.trains.org, lugnet.trains.org.tcltc, FTX)
 
  Re: Ararat 1972
 
--snip-- (...) Thanks. That's just what we were after. Something that looked like a real model train diorama made from LEGO. Tim (14 years ago, 21-Jan-11, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
 
  Re: Ararat 1972
 
(...) Wow that is impressive. I particularly like the way you have ballasted the track and used tiles as ties. That combined with the "straights as a gradual curve" technique make the track look awesome. The quality of everything else matches and (...) (14 years ago, 20-Jan-11, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
 
  Re: Ararat 1972
 
(...) Hi John, I hear you on the 1x1 plates although I think the ballast round Victoria is quite smooth which is why it doesn't have them. Mike built the track and as one of the most pedantic train builders I know I assume he had a reason ;) (...) (14 years ago, 20-Jan-11, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
 
  Re: Ararat 1972
 
(...) Thanks. It certainly does take a lot of space although we minimised the brick use by building only what was needed. Tim (14 years ago, 20-Jan-11, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: Ararat 1972
 
(...) And you should be! I like it. Layouts like this make me want to build LEGO trains myself - alas, it takes a lot of LEGO and a lot of space, even for a small layout. But I can dream... (14 years ago, 20-Jan-11, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: Ararat 1972
 
(...) Fantastic layout, Tim! I love all of the details; especially the track (;-), although I do think that you guys need to do a little 1x1 plate greebling around the track beds to break up the uniform stud pattern. Is the plan to detail all around (...) (14 years ago, 20-Jan-11, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(URL) Figured I'd dust off my FTX skills and post this to LUGNET. A layout by Mike Pianta and me. (URL) More on BS> (URL) More on flickr> I'm pretty pleased with it. Tim (14 years ago, 20-Jan-11, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.announce.moc, FTX) !!
