    Modular Building Sets - Rumours and Discussion

    6w & you can build them! From left to right designs by ...

  2. Sorry, in my opinion a very unappropriate building contest theme in these days. Even posting this as a headline on eurobricks.com.
  3. Hi, I would love to bring an article of the German webpage promobricks.de to your attention. It's primary an article about the metroliner set 4558, but it includes some never public shown pictures of prototypes from the 9V developement team in Billund and the showroom of these models. The pictures are from the retired LEGO-Designer Torben Plagborg, the ǵreat article is from Daniel Haedecke. Just one great picture for preview, unfortunately I am not allowed to upload more then 100KB pics. The trains still included 12V motors, because the developement of the 9V motor was not finished. Even the original LEGO Hohenwestedt KÖF ist build as a model ... You'll find more of these sensational pics in the original article, the article is actually only available in German. Have fun reading the article (google translater) and see the great pictures. Greetings ThomaS

    Looks like that the new china new year set 80107 can be fully integrated in the modular lane :-)

    Hallo Tobias, wonderful/outstanding Building and one of your best ones! That's one I would love to integrate in my modular collection :-) Greetings ThomaS
  6. An reduced 12V programme in UK sounds interesting. On @LEGO Historian CD is a table of 12V sets with the countries they were sold, this should be updatet (Hallo Gary!) At least there exists a japanese catalogue of the blue 12V programme: Haven't seen any Asian and Australian catalogues of the gray 12V programme so far, does something like this exist? Quoting Gary: "So far 12V blue track era trains WERE sold in Continental Europe... but were NOT sold in Japan, Britain, Australia, USA and Canada." So in UK the 12V programme started with a reduced gray 12V programme. What about Sweden, Norway, Finland, Spain, Portugal, Ireland? Greetings ThomaS
  7. The yellow 3943a and 3943b stocks could have been merged bevore packaging, new produced elements were often just dumped over the old stuff. This could explain that 3943a elements still appear in sets, even when yellow 3943b elements were produced. > The train 7750 was never sold in UK Interesting! Are there more such differences between the Italy/France/German/UK programme?
  8. Sounds comprehensable, I described the impression I had 10 years ago What do you think is the actual percentage of axle-cone 7730 sets?
  9. Yip. I'll not lock out the possibility of a new production run of yellow axle-cones in 82 for new 7730s. Everything was possible regarding alternative bricks Another 12V question: Did someone already proved in which countries the gray 12V stuff was (not) sold and promoted?
  10. ?? The type 27c01 has glass, 27a has no glass. My original 7730 from my childhood came with the windows type 27c01 with glass. I completed my huge 12V collection nearly 10 years ago, in these days in my very subjective observation there were no original 7730 trains with the axle-variant 3943b on the market. Nearly all 7730 offers in Ebay Germany (the main ressource of used LEGO 12V sets in these years) came mainly from private sellers without LEGO knowledge: They all had the 3943a cone. The offered sets with 3943b variants seemed to be offered from resellers which completed old LEGO sets. I saw a lot of broken 3943a cones, so often they were replaced with common 3943b.

    MOC, Modular Building: Cozy Pub

    I am really impressed! Clever use of parts: e.g. the tiling of the pub, the sidewalk, the printed dutch tiles on the fireplace, ... I would love to add such a modular in my collection
  12. Hi, interesting analysis! At first I'll add data of my red 12V motors, the black ones will follow later: red type I: 22 0, 26 0, 27 0, 31 0, 32 0, 33 0, 25 2 red type III: 27 4 Greetings ThomaS

    Congrats to your wonderful design ... yes, indeed!
  14. Hi, I thinks it's this one, a small catalogue, actually I only made a photo of the cover: I don't know, if there is a complete scan online. If not, let me know. Greetings ThomaS
