I’d like to thank Bruce Chamberlain for prompting me to generate
illustrated steps for this Brotli set. Maybe we’ll see a real-brick
creative colorful variant?
|
And Bruce has delivered for us a
real brick build of
this Spanish Brotli-Bahn Swiss Adler. Thanks Bruce!

What the???????
Are those decorative slides morphed red or do you actually get them in red
somewhere???????!!!!!!

I believe Bruce willed them into red by the power of his mind...and some
paint flew onto a set of light bley 9v train motor decorative elements. I
don’t know that he painted any other parts.
I wish for there to be a new official train motor part in color red. Maybe
some day. We got gray, maybe we’ll get red eventually. We can wish.
But, in the meantime, I become more forgiving of painting parts such as this,
as I know the official LEGO designers prototype MOCs with painted parts...or
even cutting parts or MOCing up parts from wood or paper (I think). After
all, building with LEGO is only limited by one’s imagination...and, I guess
that imagination can include creative tools to modify existing part shape and
color. (I didn’t just type that! The Dark Side of LEGO CAD is permiating the
real brick! Oh, forgive me AFOLs) ;-)
Now, I wonder if someone could retro-mold the 9v train motor decorative
element, and recast that mold with red ABS pellets? Would a law-suit ensure?
Probably.
Build want you want, and build it well.
later,
James Mathis

I’d guessed they were painted from the slight difference in luminosity in one of
the pictures, but wasn’t going to say in case it sounded too nerdy :-) Hey, it
was a pretty good colour match.
Actually, as I understand it TLC have used red for prototyping parts or testing
new moulds, hence the existence of hyper-rare oddities like red ghost shrouds.
I wouldn’t have put it past some of the core nutters on here to actually own a
few.

| (...) --SNIP-- Hi Jason, That is impressively nerdy. Amazingly so! This is coming from a physicist who programs in his spare time and should be taken as a compliment. Tim (19 years ago, 10-Jul-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

| (...) Yeah, I knew about those; there was a discussion on them recently. Just thought it would be really cool if they were mass produced in red at some time. Legoswami (19 years ago, 10-Jul-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
