Thanks Ben ,for the link to the Rolling bricks site.
It’s funny that you replyed to my message . As I have been studying your
trains ,and Holger Matthes trains, for a while now.

Both of us and Frank “Pudie” Abel have probably been the most active builders
in the FGLTC, so it is no wonder, when I answer now. There are not too much
of the Germans active at Lugnet, since we have the great
www.1000steine.de/forum for our needs.

I wish I could read German !! Or Dutch ,as my Name is Dutch.

I copied your design for
the 7750 style wheels , by putting 1*2 hinge plates in to allow the middle
wheel to move sideways. And the flex rods for push rods.
I wish I had more pictures off it, but I don’t have a digital camera. The 6
main drive wheels are connected to the train body by 1*1*1 round bricks .
And the rest of the wheels are connected to these six wheels not the
body.The whole lower front of the train turns to make the corners.The tender
has the 9v motor with 2 weight bricks and 9v wheels with the holders
removed.The boiler is all SNOT construction. using 2*4*2 24 stud bricks.
and many tiles as I did not want any studs showing.I still have to detail
inside the cabin, so it’s not finished. But I never really finish any MOC
fully.

I think that is true for most of all builders. Are you by chance in Portland
at the Brickfest? HoMa and I have subscribed and already booked our flights.
I think I will manage to bring a few MOCs with me and would love to have a
view on your engine as well.
|
Sorry ,I won’t be going to brickfest. Were is Portland ? America ?
I have just gone out and spent a months Lego budget. Buying a Digital camera. I
have 20 new photos of the blue steamer and 3 of the Amtrak.I hope to have them
up soon, as my computer skills are Zero.

Do you know how Dirk (?) built up the front windshield on his Santa Fe ?
This was why I liked his 8 wide .
|
I have seen it once disassambled, but that has been long time ago. I do not
remember how he fixed the parts in it.
Leg Godt!
