I've built the standard LEGO train sets. I've built a few LEGO prototypes.
But the time had come for me to build a train that breaks all boundaries, a
train that can run at full speed on even the toughest of layouts, a train
that makes you say "hmmm". (that could be a good or bad "hmmm").
I would like to introduce the all new Green Machine Racing Train:

This train sits about 1 plate off the track with a very low center of
gravity. It can take a LEGO track curve at full speed with out even the
slightest tilt. I will admit that the center of the train is 8wide, so the
track has to be able to accommodate an 8 wide train. I'm hoping to build a
passenger car for it soon, I just need to acquire some more green neon
windows.
Maybe I'll start a National LEGO Racing Train League, anybody up for the
challenge?

| You go boy! That has got to be the uglyest train I have ever seen in my life ;D I bet that it could make it thru a Ben Fleskes Robostness course. Over jumps, off the edge of tables, eveb the BF "sqeeze it til it snaps" test! How about a loop the (...) (24 years ago, 17-Jul-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.general)

| (...) How about an action sequence of the train bursting through a wall of Jar-Jars or something? Oh, I noticed the operator has two control levers in the cockpit. It seems to me a speed hog like this thing would have an accelerator pedal and (...) (24 years ago, 17-Jul-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.general)
