Over the weekend, I designed a LEGO train station somewhat evocative of grand

clear. The interior has two platforms sized for 6-wide trains (but easily
adapted to 8-wide).

Hi Jordan,
This looks really cool and impressive. I tried to find it in your gallery on
factory.lego.com (username jbschwarz) but I didn’t see it there. I normally
like to download LDD MOCs so I can spin them around in LDD and check them out
from different angles.
I’ve actually been eying your
AEM-7 and matching
passenger car for a while. I used to ride NJTransit on the Northeast Corridor
in the early 90’s so I’m always drawn to Amtrak stuff in the old
gray/red/white/blue livery. I really like your detailing on the locomotive. I
think the front strays a bit from the prototype but I quite like the look
anyway. It still captures that European-electric feel and reminds me of James
Mathis’ model for the 10183 set coming out the Spring.
One question on the AEM-7: are the trucks attached properly in the model you
submitted? Looks like the couplers won’t reach another car. Playing around
with your model (converted to LDraw) made me think you can move the trucks out
one stud towards the ends.
Anyway, I wanted to tell you I like your stuff and have been watching your
Factory gallery for potential sets I may be purchasing in the future.
Thanks!
