    River Canyon Railroad

    Wonderful development. Love where this is going! Keep ut the good work!
  2. Great models. 8 wide certainly fits better with R104 or the like than R40....
  3. Wonderful train, really like how this turned out. And as always, I will ask for a video of the whole thing in action:-)

    River Canyon Railroad

    I like it. The trees are small, but that may be the intention. As you have already found out, mountains require tons of bricks. Adding a rail road to it increases rather than diminish the need for bricks. I am speaking from experience, as one of my childhood dreams was to build a mountain of Lego. I completed one a few years back (see below), and to be honest, much of the understructure had to be made from wood supports, special shelves as well as a couple of tables. However, the croud loves such displays at shows, the headache begins only in transporting it to and from the event as well as the tedious setup. Good luck on your module development. Let us see the finished product

    MOC of a Lionel Icing Station

    I love this! Perfect execution of the loading, especially that the conveyor belt is moving position before loading the ice. Nice to see the mechanism inside the wagon. Thanks for sharing!

    BR E18 047 "Blauer Enzian"

    I love the detailing, the stickers and the technical solution for the bogies. Well done!
  7. I find this build very clever, great packaging in a small space, full of functionality that I cannot wait to see in action. What will this beast pull?

    MOC: Boulevard des Lumières

    Impressive building, and the endless play possibilites when opening up is a very nice feature. Lots of great details in the different rooms. Simply love the whole thing!

    LEGO Trans Europ Express VT 11.5.

    I like it! Thanks for sharing!

    Bahnbetriebswerk NeuKirche.

    I like it, and it is huge I have myself built something similar with motorized points and turntable, all PF controlled. Still sitting in some boxes somewhere, as the project lost momentum. But that is the beauty of this hobby. When the wind blows in the other direction, it is time to demolish some old moc for a brighter future of a new one.... Happy building

    Lego Train Suspension

    This is really cool and totally encompass what I love about this hobby. How do you make mechanics work in a constrained space with bulky parts. I would like to see a video of your finished Big boy over bumpy tracks

    Goliath 2.0

    Nice, I like it. Any motorization?
  14. Love this layout will your friend post more pictures of the DIY tracks?

    Rotary Dump (Tippler)

    Great video on Flickr, love it. How do you control the position of the train and rotation? Just by PF or other electronics?

    [MOC] Buffalo Creek & Gauley 2-8-0 #13

    Very nice execution Love the detailing with the white stripes. Thanks for sharing!
  17. Nice models, Especially like the tank wagons and the snot work for the middle sections
  18. Great build again, tenderlok! Have been taking a time off Eurobricks, and then this beauty comes along, in fact via the chevrolet car you built. Fantastic builds both of them. I like the flickering light of the firebox and the rear lamp, nice details!

    Quadruple crossing automated by Arduino

    Fun video and great automation! Thanks for sharing

    Switch modification

    Hi Following this with interest Why not use a simple technic solution that moves the lever as far out as you need it. See below how the technic gear rack https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?id=697#T=C moves the lever. Using a few parts you can easily place the lever as many studs to the side as you want. You may have to raise your switch a plate or two, but heck, it will be an all Lego solution. Good luck!

    Pneumatic Switch

    Nice setup, I like it! Will definitely try this sometime. Thanks for sharing!

    [MOC] D800 Class "Warship"

    Nice model! I especially liked the programmed functions. You would gain a lot better tackling of the curves with on stud movement of 1 axle in each bogie without compromising too much on your sleek design. Thanks for sharing!
  23. I think elevating track over what looks like a stone covered patio is interesting and fun, along the same path as the little section known as "will it float" did in Late Night Show, that is, if you consider the heading "many quite expensive elements". Would I repeat this experiment with my own MOC of a train just to see if it works? Don't think so, but it was entertaining! Thanks for sharing. After all, life is a risky project. Might as well add some suspense just to see what happens.... Nice MOC, by the way
  24. Wow! Great main door (I might have to steal that idea!) , and huge build!
