I’ve wanted to build this ever since this element came out....

Started it last year, and it’s still not finished. Sorry about the crummy pic-- really bad lighting, and I got a little crazy with Photoshop, too:-p

So just one pic for now; I’ll take more when I put the finishing touches on her. I plan using G scale motor blocks for power-- pics of those later as well. I’m also looking into Airwire (RC control).

I’m really going to try and roll out my G scale stuff now.

(...) Wow! Almost big enough for small animals and children to ride around in... John, are those train windows in Dark Tan (for the trolley doors)? What set did those come out in?! Very nice work! A truly unique (and uniquely large) creation! (...) (17 years ago, 3-Oct-07, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) John, Very nice work! A creation of truly impressive scale! I am most curious: are those train windows in Dark Tan that you used for the doors of the trolley? If so, what set do those come in?! Awesome trolley! You definitely take trains to (...) (17 years ago, 3-Oct-07, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) Hey, where are the trolley poles? It ain't a trolley without trolley poles :) No seriously, nice model. Too bad its not 8 wide ;) Chris (17 years ago, 3-Oct-07, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Nice! Love the doors. BIG! I am thinking that at this scale, you will be the first to build a building with dark tan bricks. I am pretty sure duplo bricks are already available in dark tan. ;o) Jonathan (17 years ago, 3-Oct-07, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

Now that really looks amazing! The curved pieces and non-standard colors make it look very realistic! Great work! Scott (17 years ago, 3-Oct-07, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) Dude, you continue to amaze me at every turn. I can't wait to see the more detailed pictures. So have you made some maxi-figs to go with that 18-wide behemoth? :-) -Dave (17 years ago, 3-Oct-07, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) At last! That looks cool. Until you say otherwise I'm going to guess those windows in the doors are grey. What scale are you working to? 45mm track at standard gauge gives about 1:30 but it looks narrow gauge to me. Tim (17 years ago, 3-Oct-07, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) (URL) Looks like someone beat you off the track John. According to the readme, 16-wide, G-gauge track (via BBB wheels) and couplers. Benn (16 years ago, 16-Feb-09, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
