Yes, it was that bad. I've read two books that deal with this: "A million little bricks' and The Secret life of LEGO Bricks'. The first one talks at length about how LEGO went wrong, and how they fixed it. The other one talks more about the parts and how it's impossible to do it today, among other things. I also talked to actual people who bought PALLETS of the Legends sets (and Super Chief cars, but that's another story) on deep, deep discount around 2003.

Thank you, I'll try to get it done soon! I also realized I forgot a picture of the rear of the 4-10-0. So I just added it.

Sorry for the double post, but there is a minion named 'Mel' in every set, while 'Tim' is in two sets - both have regular and mega minion forms, so it looks like Mel and Tim get mutated late in the film. ...If the sets are anything near accurate, of course. *glares at Iron Man VS. the Mandarin - Ultimate Showdown*

There is a Conehead minion that comes in set 75581. He must have just come from France.

They did as you suggest once before: LEGO Legends. It failed horribly and they swore 'never again'. Also, older sets have parts and systems (finger hinges anybody?) that no longer exist or are now considered out of system. It isn't gonna happen, sorry.

That made me LOL!

Thank you!

Well, I'm two years late, but here is the loco shed in real bricks! Check out the revised first post for more pictures!

Thanks @JWBDolphins for the kind words! Thank you @Ropefish, I agree on the classic style! Also, Thanks to whoever front paged this thread! It's a great honor!

This long journey started in November 2021 with a used copy of Toy Story 3 set 7597 - Western Train Chase - bought from a local Lego resale shop here in St. Louis. I quickly expanded the loco to have a tender, then working pistons, and finally rolling stock. I was then inspired by the original 1955 engines from Disneyland for a second coal-burning loco, (the C.P. Jupiter and U.P. 119 from the Last Spike Ceremony of 1869 was also an inspiration!) and then awhile later a 4-2-4T styled after the C.P. Huntington. (This became a 2-4-4T last December.) The 4-10-0 was originally 8-wide, and was built before I got the 7597 set in August 2021. I never liked it in eight wide, (I never even photographed it in that form) and when I was taking apart all my eight wide MOCs recently, I took pity on it and converted it into 6 wide to preserve it. Then, I tooj photos of all the locos... I still haven't finished some of the freight cars, so the rolling stock will be added later. (I promise it won't be three more years!) The trains all together. This is the first one finished. This 4-4-0 pulls my passenger train. Rear of loco No. 1. It's styled as a mid-to-late 1860's wood burning loco. You could also say it is likened to the Jupiter and the Gov. Stanford of Central Pacific Railroad fame. This is my coal burning 4-4-0 (numbered 8), and pulls my railroad executive's train. This is modeled after a early-to-mid 1870s loco, but it could be considered to partially resemble the Union Pacific 119 from the Last Spike ceremony of 1869. The 2-4-4 tank engine I'm using as a switcher. In my fictional backstory I wrote, loco No. 4 was originally a 0-4-4 Forney loco that soon needed a leading two wheel pony truck to operate better at speed and keep wear down on the front set of driving wheels. Of course, in reality, it was first built as a 4-2-4T like the C.P. Huntington you can still see in the California State RR Museum, or at you local Zoo / amusement park, as smaller-scale replicas are made by Chance Rides for places like that. This loco (No. 3) is modeled after the only 4-10-0 to ever run on US Rails. This, of course, was the 1883-vintage El Gobernador. (Spanish for "the Governor") The real locomotive was a colossal failure, but this one is (in my fictional backstory) built from the plans with the mistakes corrected, making the loco a good drag-freight engine. ...I just realized these locos are almost all modeled after CP engines! This was totally accidental, and wasn't noticed until I made this thread. Anyway, that's all I got. Comments, questions, and other things like that are welcome!

I don''t think "nobody cares", it's just that we are probably all waiting for pictures!

He just released a new color for the train wheels, (light bluish gray) so I'd say yes, he is.

@hrdknxbrix LEGO has never approved a modular building on Ideas, and never will. This is because Ideas is for expanding the Lego portfolio of themes (such as Minecraft, Doctor Who, etc.), not previously established and still running lines like modular buildings. Sorry, but it ain't happening.

You are asking me pick a favorite child. I can't...I won't! (It is either Johnny Thunder or Lord Sam Sinister from 2003, to be honest, as Adventurers was my jam back then.)

EDIT: Just saw @Peppermint_M's post from the last page. Per her advice I'm going no further with this.
