legodac Posted July 27, 2011 Posted July 27, 2011 My first Lego affiliated web site was MLNO. Not so long ago a challenge was presented, simply build a different model from any kit. I chose the one I have a dozen of, kit #10133, I thought I might build a crane on rails, here are the pictures Good timing, the recent contest of late was what inspired me to post this here in EB. Keep on Brickn' eh...The legodac Brickerage Firm Quote
vgsprites Posted July 28, 2011 Posted July 28, 2011 Nice model legodac! Matches well with the BNSF it was built from. I ponder if real BNSF cranes have a simular color scheme. Interesting concept for a contest though. Quote
Brik-el Posted July 28, 2011 Posted July 28, 2011 Nice! that crane is cool. Its also sweet that you have that many BNSF's lyin around. (which I would pay a good chunk of Canadian dollars for 1) But what really catches my attention is your layout. I DO NOT have enough pieces of lego to build scenery, so I was thinkin of usin model railroadin' stuff. Then I see your set up and realize that it looks way better than lego trees and the such. Do you have any pics of your entire layout, i would love to see it. Quote
Tearloch Posted July 28, 2011 Posted July 28, 2011 Nice model legodac! Matches well with the BNSF it was built from. I ponder if real BNSF cranes have a simular color scheme. Interesting concept for a contest though. Very nice MOC. As for BNSF cranes, when I worked for BNSF Maintenance of Way Dept. (up to 1998), then didn't invest the money to paint any other their track equipment. Much of it is leased, so painting would be a no no. But it would have been fun. All the ones I operated where the standard factory yellow or white (depending on manufacturer). Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted July 28, 2011 Posted July 28, 2011 Fantastic MOC! Another beautiful set of pictures from your incredible house! Very nice work with that crane! Quote
L@go Posted July 28, 2011 Posted July 28, 2011 Nice build! Love the BNSF colour scheme, and it suits the crane just as well as it suits the engine. What I think is the single most intriguing detail in your post, though, is this: I chose the one I have a dozen of, kit #10133... A dozen? That house of yours sure does hold a lot of treasures...
