This MOC was actually completed in one day, the last day I had before a
meeting with some fellow Dutch Lego enthusiasts. If you want to look at the
pretty pictures of the meeting, just do a Brickshelf search on the word
“Deurne” (which happened to be the location of the meeting.)
Anyway, back to the MOC. Since I was working with a time limit the scenery
is not as pretty or as big as I’d have liked it to have been, but that’s
also due to the fact that I was straight out of chain links, so the train
makes some pretty harsh turns. I’m really happy about the train itself,
though. It’s built with a zillertal bahn steam engine in mind (it’s modeled
after one of my dad’s LGB trains, but so far I haven’t been able to track
down the make or model, though) As you may have figured, the train is pulled
forward with the two magnets at the front and back, which work pretty well
as far as steering is concerned. The plate it runs on is a reversed space
landing pad, as it’s the thinnest and smoothest surface I could build with
Lego elements. The surface it runs on looks more like a road than
traintracks... but I still think trains look much better than, say, cars.
Anyway, I’d love to hear what you folks think.

Hi Peer,
I was admiring this model in your gallery and hoping you would post something
about it. I think it is an absolutely brilliant model and idea so
congratulations for both the inspiration and the implementation. Brilliant
work!

Cool! That should sort the problem of how to propel 2-wide trains (for those
who don’t have N-gauge track)!
