I don't

My entry will be a tiny monorail which Iwill start on soon.

Which catagory will the monorail placed in?

[Locomotive Annie]

It's all those wheels ES, I don't think I actually own 12 BBB wheels that are all the same size

No, I'm going to be sticking with building steam electrics for the present time, - best to stay with what I know and all that

Here's a really good resource for inspiration :

http://www.darkroastedblend.com/2007/01/category-trains.html

I can spend hours reading that site (retronaut.com) as well

[Hey Joe]

I'd like to submit my Diesel-Electric/Jet Helicopter Hybrid locomotive to the challenge if I could? I think I posted it the day before the challenge was announced but since they're are no prizes we can be flexible, can't we? Anyway, I'm not sure I'll have time to throw together anything else with a three year old running around but I could try.

The photo is below, the thread I created for it is here.

Thanks, Joe

I'm going to enter my Hi-speed steam electric for the Wacky and Weird Locomotive Challenge http://www.eurobrick...showtopic=80022

I had thought about building something else, only I don't think I'm going to be able to find the time, or get the necessary bricks for it delivered in time.

WOW! That is awesome! There needs to be more cross-theme Locomotive MOCs on traintech!

[Werlu Ulcur]

Ulcer? No, I'm into Lego to get rid of stress, so I'm ulcer-free.

I have buil the Es co. HQ/powerplant for my 18 9v tracks. Should I post it here or in Town? It is a trackside structure... well what do you think?

[Locomotive Annie]

If it's a trackside structure it belongs with Trains far more than it belongs to Town.

Its really hard to explain what exactly I made... I'll post a picture in the morning..

[Electricsteam]

Here is my entry!

The Es. co. HQ/Powerplant named (?Big Murray?) !

I would like this to stay in traintech because it is Es. co. HQ, and for other reasons (can you guess?)

Amazing! - a windmill powered air pump. I'm completely sure it fits the title of the challenge in every way ES.

-_- Windmill???? Thats the fly wheel .... Its is suppose to be a form of powerplant and I plan to make a small trolley system to go up and down my stairs...

[dundarach]

Great job - looks and sounds dangerous, especially to minifigs :-) love seeing lego doing noisy mechanical stuff, the 'toy' / engineering contrast is fun.

Cracking, cracking job sir!
