Looking for a holiday train to go around my tree. Can be open/used. I realize the set is discontinued but I don't want to spend a fortune either. Thanks! Rob (13 years ago, 21-Nov-11, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I'm not sure the wording there made that sound like the compliment it was intended to be. But it was intended to be a statement on your high skills :) (...) Great to hear. I'll look forward to the next round of pictures. Tim (13 years ago, 10-Nov-11, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Sure, Tim. But thanks for the help though... ;-) (...) The winter will be long.... The focus is first on a new track layout next to the roundhouse and will next be on the naked walls around the village (plenty of space for imitation of (...) (13 years ago, 10-Nov-11, to lugnet.trains)

(...) You could build a 2x rim underneath the walls (thus keeping the design much the same) and use the tiles under that. As a man whose 8 year old trains still set the standards I think you can manage it ;) (...) Excellent. (...) I think that would (...) (13 years ago, 10-Nov-11, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Tim, you are so right with your observation. The village layout appears to be quite static with all buildings erected in right angles. However I have found no satisfying way to integrate Houses on baseplates in odd angles. This ended in very (...) (13 years ago, 10-Nov-11, to lugnet.trains)

(...) If I might offer some criticism: the green 'hill' baseplate seems out of place to me, and it would be nice to see more of the buildings at a slight angle (like your genius rock one). That aside I love the feel of the whole thing. Tim (13 years ago, 9-Nov-11, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I have not heard any rumors on 2012 products. But LEGO has supplied us with a huge amount of trains recently (and two of them aiming definitely at AFOLs!). So I have to agree with Tim, that we can not expect too much in 2012. Including the (...) (13 years ago, 9-Nov-11, to lugnet.trains)

I was exhibiting lego trains at a recent model train exhibition. A member of public came up to me with his 7898 locomotive. The problem is that the locomotive keeps on turning off automatically when it gets under load, such as going round corners, (...) (13 years ago, 29-Oct-11, to lugnet.trains)
