Eilif Posted June 26, 2009 When the NILTC layout was assembled for Brickworld 2009, it had the tracks turning off my layout 2 baseplates sooner than usual. Not wanting empty space on my layout, I was forced to build the following to fill space usually occupied by a train station. Front Rear They are not particularly stunning MOC's, but I think they turned out well, and definitely add a bit of variation to my layout. I wanted to share with others a bit of what I found can be done with relatively few pieces to effectively fill space on a layout. As always, they are built on modular baseplates, and are completely compatible with all my other town modules. One small note: What you can't see is the small service truck from which are coming two repairmen. Comments, suggestions welcome. Thanks for looking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cole Posted June 26, 2009 That looks realy good, especilay just for a space filler. The coulours arn't the best, but I definitly like the pipes going across the top and the ladder on the side. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bartram Posted June 26, 2009 Great work, and only a filler, too! Looking forward to see more of your Brickworld creations Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ratshot Posted June 26, 2009 That looks great. If that was a real chemical plant and had real chemicals in it, I would through all the megablocks fans and bricks into it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eilif Posted June 27, 2009 (edited) That looks realy good, especilay just for a space filler. The coulours arn't the best, but I definitly like the pipes going across the top and the ladder on the side. Thanks! I should mention that all the red is all the same dark red color, but the different angles of the tanks made it appear different in the pictures. Great work, and only a filler, too! Looking forward to see more of your Brickworld creations I have an industrial building and watertower that I'll try and post sometime this month along with some new shots of the renovated downtown area.

sens1992 Posted June 28, 2009 Very nice plant. This is an unusual MOC that not too many people think of building. This is a great addition to a train layout as well. You came up with a good idea that is a great change from the buildings and vehicules that most people stick to... Good Work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Klaus-Dieter Posted July 4, 2009 That's an awesome City MOC, Eilif! I really it! It looks absolutely realistic! Perhaps grey would have been better as color - but I think that these elements even don't exist in grey. Otherwise it's perfect! With some little improvements I could very well see your MOC being an official set - if so I immediately would buy it since it's a shame that TLG doesn't ofer us any industrial sets! Very, very well done! :thumbup: BTW: What are these yellow bricks on top of the plant? I can't remember having ever seen them. Klaus-Dieter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vestabuyer Posted July 6, 2009 Greetings! For it being a forced design, it still looks really good. I think it fits well with the settings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Loganwan Posted July 11, 2009 Nice design. It fits in well. So, this is a forced build. Did you bring an extra box of LEGOs with you in case of this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eilif Posted July 11, 2009 Nice design. It fits in well. So, this is a forced build. Did you bring an extra box of LEGOs with you in case of this? Thanks, I should clarify. I didn't build this at the show. I built it the night before the show when I saw the NILTC club layout and realized that I had to fill some space. I do bring a bag of useful LEGO with me to all shows just in case, but that's more for repairs, not enough to build any MOCs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paintballman413 Posted July 11, 2009 I don't remember seeing that at the NILTC layout. were was it. near all the trains. or near the boat/dock? anyway. that's a goo filler. I better make sure to bring enough legos for Brickworld 10' even though it's 10 months away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brickshelf is acting funky, so I can only put up this pic. The Chemical plant was right next to and to the left of the industrial building with the water tower.
