Hello all!

Here are some pictures of my newest creation! The Ghost Train (ooooh, cue scary
music). This train is built completely using clear elements (with the exception
of the wheels, motor, and other necessary train bits)! All of the parts are

that most of the parts that comprimise a train have been made in clear, so, the
idea for the Ghost train was born!

Here are some pictures on my Brickshelf folder here:

Here is a link to the SPLTC images of the Orange show itself:

job!

shows and kids really like it. At the last display we had it coming out of a
tunnel on an automated shuttle.

(...) Very cool Mark, I like how it looks in white! Pehaps if Lego ever made a good selection in Glow-in-the-dark bricks, it could be made in those! I did try to light the inside of the model, but ran out of time, or just couldn't figure it out! I (...) (20 years ago, 6-Jun-04, to lugnet.trains)
