L@go Posted February 13, 2011 Really nice - it looks just like the real thing! I adore your layout, by the way. I only wish I had that kind of space available to show off my collection... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
talltim Posted February 13, 2011 (edited) I really like your model, very good selective compression and it really captures the features of the real thing well. I went to Norway last summer and travelled behind a Di4 from Åsen to Trondheim. I also like your viaduct running in front of the poster of Norwegian landscape and the clock on your station.

WesternOutlaw Posted February 13, 2011 Welcome MXLPT. While your NSB train is really nice, your layout is magnificent. I enjoyed watching it pass through your town and tunnel. The aqueduct/bridge is really nice as well. Love all the details and the music is fitting for a relaxing train viewing. Thanks for sharing here on Train Tech! I look forward to seeing more from you.

peterab Posted February 14, 2011 Below is a link to my first MOC, a replica of the NSB (Norwegain State railways) Di 4. Comments and suggestions are very welcome. Be Gentle:-) Its my first attempt:-) Hi MXLPT, Welcome to Eurobricks, I have a suggestion you might want to consider. The quality of images from Youtube isn't the best, so while it's good for showing off moving trains and layouts (your's is really nice by the way), it's not so good for seeing the details of MOCs. You might want to consider joining either Flickr (there's an active community of Lego train builders there too) or Brickshelf to host some static images, and then you could include a couple in your future EB posts. Read the tutorials and follow the guidelines for including images on Eurobricks, though as many new members get this wrong. It will allow better examination and better feedback if that's what you're after. Your Moc looks good, though I'm not overly familiar with the prototype. It does remind me of an engine in the old Fleishmann catalog I have so I think you've done well. Peter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Legoist Posted May 5, 2011 Hi dear lego fans:-) I am new here, My name is Oyvind and i'm 39 yo from Norway. Just 6 months ago i was hooked on this hobby again that in my childhood was a big addiction:-) Now that i have a son 3 years old i can hide behind the excuse it's all for him, But you all know the truth.

What's your method of supplying yourself with bricks for trains-related MOCs from Norway? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Morty Posted May 8, 2011 (edited) Hi Øyvind Very nice Di 4, good details and welcome in the "club" who builds norwegian trains. I`m also "new" with building moc trains. Looking forward to see your next moc train... Are you a member of the norwegian Legoassociation Brikkelauget? Edited May 8, 2011 by morty Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just 6 months ago i was hooked on this hobby again that in my childhood was a big addiction:-) Now that i have a son 3 years old i can hide behind the excuse it's all for him, But you all know the truth Hi Øyvind! Really nice train you have built and a really nice layout too. I have a few things in common with you except that I'm not that good with trains (have just started after the RC trains), but my name is also Øyvind and I'm also from Norway. And since I'm from northern part of Norway (Tromsø too be precise) we do not have trains around here that I can look at, so I have to use pictures on the Internet for inspirations. And here yu came up with a lot of inspirations for me :) Thanx for sharing!
