Just put pictures of my first train at
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=2132
Pure fantasy, hope y'all find it amusing....
FV 55 started as a push train, and was converted to 9v. Takes less than 5
minutes to add/subtract the motor and track wheels to switch it back and forth.
In FV 55's 9v incarnation, the yellow wheels are merely a decorative facade.
When the motor and track wheels are removed, the yellow wheels become
functioning wheels with the bars connecting the 1st and 3rd wheel pairs on
the engine having a pleasing (at least to me) rotation.
Proportions are a result of parts on hand and Fabuland figure size.
Considering it all started with a 6497 Twisted Time Train, I think it turned
out fairly well. The only *real* train parts are the 9v motor, track
wheels, and magnetic couplers.

| Very nicely done, Sherry. I'm glad to see how it all came together. I can't wait to see it in motion! I can see that some future NCLUG show will need a Fabuland section to show off all of your work. Now we just need to get together with Mike to (...)
