RichardGoring Posted January 25 I wish there were more photos of the train shed, from more angles. I really like it, but it took me a while to realize just how big it is. The photos' angles make it look much smaller and cozy, not a really long shed. It's lovely, but I think it's too big for me to get. Brick Cross Station on the other hand... It will be mine!

and_ampersand_and Posted February 5 Both of these were in Series 3 but didn't make it.

Space78 Posted February 8 (edited) Just pre-ordered the Old Train Shed. Beautiful design. I limited myself to one, but would have liked two had the price been lower. Can't wait to get this one. Personally, I'm not overly thrilled with the train items in series 2. Lots of interesting stuff in series 4. We'll see if one train item makes it!

Toxic43 Posted February 8 @Space78 Same here. Ordered one, but would have loved a second. The Logging Railway seems like it will be a chore to build, and has a lot of parts that aren't really necessary for the train to function as a train. I'm not about display pieces and so for me it's a miss, because it will be twice as expensive for including raised track I won't build. The Brick Cross Train Station looks interesting, but at the price points the current lot are going for I'm not as interested as the Train Shed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just wish the American Steam Loco had a few more view angles. It's hard to see all of the details. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fenghuang0296 Posted February 8 I can’t quite tell from the pictures; how offset is Brick Cross Station from the baseplate of the Modular? I have a line of track running behind some Modulars with three studs of overlap. If I can’t make that work I have no interest, but if I can then I’m excited.

Murdoch17 Posted February 8 (edited) Not much longer now - Old train engine shed is so nearly sold out, I can't discern any visible space left on the bar with my computer monitor. EDIT: 1 hour later and it's gone! Edited February 8 by Murdoch17 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agree, the logging train could have been interesting, but the raised trestle bridge would be very repetitive and a significant portion of the build, which will push the price up. I'm surprised it made it through review. The designer should have skipped the bridge and made a more interesting engine. 9 hours ago, zephyr1934 said: I just skimmed the series 4 yesterday and both of those stood out (before seeing this post and without realizing they were series 3 too).

RedBrick1 Posted March 21 It's great to see more Trains representation in the latest wave! I was pulling for some of the others over the western train, but I do understand why this could be a hot seller. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
