Murdoch17 Posted January 15 Posted January 15 Welcome to Eurobricks and Train Tech @Aleksi Perala! From what I can see of your models they are amazing! Keep up the good work and I can't wait to see more detailed pictures of what you've made! Quote

My favourite is Pienoisjunatreffit at the Finnish Railway Museum because it's not too crowded and you get to present your models in front of the real trains. All my models are unfinished but I don’t mind, I like the WIP nature of things. That photo speaks for itself. Great trains, great location, looking forward to seeing more of your work! Quote
Aleksi Perala Posted January 18 Posted January 18 Thank you for your kind words gentlemen. I'm glad to be here! Quote
mserf42 Posted January 26 Posted January 26 Hi All, My name is Rory. Originally from Ireland I now live in Canada. Loved lego as a kid but never really had a lot of sets. Started getting back into it a few years ago with the modular buildings (which is how I found this site) and have since bought a bunch of track and a couple of the train sets. For Christmas this year I decided to put together my first (very basic) track layout with some of the Winter Village sets. The kiddos had a great time building the train station and toy shop. Quote
domik Posted June 8 Posted June 8 Hello, I'm not very new to this site but haven't made a post here yet. So just wanted to say hi. And becaouse I saw @Aleksi Perala here, also that for some reason I'm obsessed with things related to Finland and more their language, and becaouse of that I built the Hr1 steam locomotive. last year I took it to the brick train awards so here are some photos of it. It is kind of unstable, but I'll get around to fixing it eventually soon. Quote
zephyr1934 Posted June 9 Posted June 9 Always great to hear from more folks @domik, welcome aboard. And that's a very nice looking steamer that you submitted to the brick train awards Quote
L-Gauger Posted June 18 Posted June 18 Hello all! This appears to be the place for new people to introduce themselves, so here goes... I've been a fan of Lego ever since I got my first DUPLO set as a toddler. Although I do build in other themes, most of my MOC work has been in the Trains theme. I'm especially partial to 10-wide models based on U.S. prototypes, such as the 2-6-0 steam engine visible in my profile photo. However, I also have built some 8-wide models of British prototypes in addition to a 2-stud-narrow-gauge British diesel locomotive in 6-wide. All my locomotive MOCs are equipped with Power Functions equipment, I never really did make the switch over to Powered UP. A fun fact about me is that my introduction to Lego trains was with the Passenger Train set from the R/C era. Sometimes I wonder if I wouldn't have such happy memories with that set if I had known about the 9V trains I'd just missed out on... So, that's my involvement with Lego trains in summary form. I look forward to being a part of the online community here. Quote
zephyr1934 Posted June 19 Posted June 19 Welcome @L-Gauger, looking forward to seeing some of your MOCs. Your avatar hints at lots of details too small to see. Quote
L-Gauger Posted June 20 Posted June 20 Thank you @zephyr1934! I've appreciated your work for quite some time, I look forward to sharing a few MOCs here. The one from my profile photo is a model of the original Texas State Railroad #7, built by Baldwin in 1915. The model has since been rebuilt with greater detail, but a few years ago I submitted it for the Brick Train Awards 2023. The entry has a few more photos of the model as it looked back then: https://www.bricktrainawards.com/entries/ozark-mountain-railroad-1-andrew/. And here is a photo of the locomotive in its present state: Quote
zephyr1934 Posted June 22 Posted June 22 That's a nice combination of playful features on top of detailed building Quote
L-Gauger Posted June 23 Posted June 23 @zephyr1934 Thank you! That was basically my goal, to build a model that was highly detailed but also would be an excellent workhorse for model-railroad style operating sessions. I'm sure you noticed that the drive rods are your Trained Bricks drive rods... aside from those, everything else is 100% un-modified Lego. On that note, I remember back when I ordered the drive rods that you would only offer a particular rod size for sale after hearing confirmation that it worked reliably. So, maybe now's a good time for me to tell you that the custom 3 hole, 13-stud long side rods you made custom for me have met and exceeded my structural and operational expectations. May I offer my long-overdue thanks? Quote
MikeTheBuilder Posted July 7 Posted July 7 Hello! My name is Mike, and I love lego trains :) I've done a fair but of modifying... motorising the "old" hogwarts express, the oriental express, the crocodile (all with Power Functions, the latter 2 with two motors each) Recently got into Powered Up motors and have been enjoying using PyBricks Quote
