Hey Benn-
Congrats on coming up with a functioning design solution-- I know too well the
problems of creating detailed MOCs that look great but run poorly:-/ And I
don’t even deal in steam! Ross has had EXTENSIVE experience in that area. I
don’t know how many times he had to rebuild his Polar Express and Hogwarts
Express to get them to be able to run consistently. I can’t wait to see the Hi
running.
I have been pretty AWOL WRT LEGO since Detroit, and my Hi project sits untouched
for almost 2 years! :-0 And now that I’m going in another direction, it will
take a miracle for me to go back and revisit it-- so many projects competing for
my hobby time:-/
But if there is anything that will get me going, it is projects like yours that
provide the crucial inspiration. Thanks for that; we’ll see what happens:-)
Well played,
JOHN
