Hey all,

I've added some pics of trains that I have been working on recently.

Here are the Highlights:

GG-1 Electric Locomotive
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=2778
Note: Eventually I plan to add decals and have the entire locomotive be red
(used green because I was short on color, but have some red pieces on the
way to my house as we speak).

Cool. Are you going to try smooth tiles instead of plates on the ends? • Now that u mention it I think I will.......
One other
question, did you try stepping tiles in place of the 1x8 tile? That is a tough
slope to model. I guess the choices are stepped tiles or a sloped tile with some
space under it. I take it that the stepped tiles just didn't look right. I think
it will look very cool once the nose is the right color!
I hope so.....

Oh yeah, are the middle trucks attached to anything? It doesn't look like the
engine flexes, and it is just not possible to have all four trucks attached (by
pins or swivel bricks) to the frame.
the middle trucks arent connected directly to the body, there connect to the
front truck which is on a swivel connecting to the body.....that one picture
is misleading since the ground the picture was taken on isn't even....
I uploaded a picture of the truck to the GG-1 folder so you can take a
look(sorry kinda fuzzy).

Again, Cool.
Chris


Red Passenger Car:

Note: This is just a preliminary design.  In the future I plan to use the
new bulk window and train doors.

Various Other Buildings:

Note: Just some buildings that might look nice in and around a train layout.

Some Old Train Stuff:

Note: Includes a themed train and a red diesel from my website which isn't
up anymore.

Please LMKWYT,

Mike
