Here is an old
fashion trolley.
My effort toward this trolley began from inspiration from the Greater
Portland LEGO Railroaders. If it were not for the GPLR, I would probably
never have generated this design. Working on this trolley reminded me just
how far we as LEGO Train Fans have come. Not just in model-making, but in
public displays of our craft. I am constantly in awe of the latest greatest
LEGO train club displays. You surround beautiful train models with
fantastic structures, road vehicles, and scenery which raise every single
creation to more than it would be by itself, alone on a shelf.
I have wondered for several months what should become of this trolley
design. And, while it may not be perfect, nor may it be the best trolly out
there, I humbly present the trolley design with dedication to all of the
LEGO Train Clubs, for without your public pressence, I dare say the LEGO
train hobby would not be what it has become today. I wish you all wonderful
and great train show events in your future. Thank you. Seeing your
show-pics is truly an inspiration to me.

What a great design and gesture by you, James! It is stuff like this that
really <ahem> builds community spirit! I am going to do my best to
actually build this MOC and always display it on the TCLTC layout as a
tribute to your contribution.
Actually, come to think of it, I have on permanent display on the TCLTC
layout a version of the Spamcake Diner™
(created by Tom McDonald), and a “Schleim” version of your
WWYM tour truck by
Holger (HoMa’s
version, Mine) for similar reasons.
Thanks for sharing, James!

Agreed - a wonderful gesture and sentiment expressed by you, James.
I hope to emulate your design for LUCNY’s layout as well.
Thanks,
Ed
