Too soon lmao

Educate those newbies!!

I think the most important question relates to specific liveries: Which technique is the most cost-effective by livery?

Is it just me, or do the spheres look a bit like hand grenades?

Whew This thread should be renamed "the salt mine", so we can see how far down it goes...... But, I gotta say, I do agree with @Tube Map Central 's notion that Trains' on the whole gets regularly snubbed. Also, its interesting to see the naysayers to that sentiment constantly tell the rest of us to just be content with the occasional bone that TLG decides to throw this way.

@SteamSewnEmpire I think it might be a blind M driver under that 3x3 radar dish? I did something similar for a BR 64 moc.

@michaelgale Can I trade in my household furniture in for more of those S32 tracks...? @legotownlinz Great layout! Have you considered an outdoor layout...?

@Black Knight But isn’t bluebrix partnered with one (or more?) of those chinese clone brands...? Or are you saying they produce their bricks right there in Germany...? 🤔

@SteamSewnEmpire Agreed— the movie is about as cringe-y in places as the whole TTTE reboot... When it comes to scale(s), I’m all over the place... I’ve got some 9/10 wide trains, some 7/8 wide trains, and am currently trying to make some competent 5/6 wide trains (on 4wide track) It’s a madhouse

I wish I could be so narrowly... focused. What’s your secret?

@koraldon It’s more about which hemisphere you’re in... not that both sellers aren’t international, but moreso for which one you’d pay less for in terms of shipping. Personally, I’d vouch for BrickTracks! I’m currently modifying a loop of their R56 curves to power 12V trains.

@Brickwolf Thanks!

@Brickwolf Is there a better view of this example in Germany? It looks like it might be the short tender version?

@Daiman (imho) You should start a new thread to document your rendition, but also leave a link in that one to this one.

@zephyr1934 Oh yeah... that motor has a veryyyy small footprint!! It looks to be about 2x4x2? I think the only misstep in this design is that the connection point is on the broad side of the brick, versus the top side (best imho) or back side (traditional). I hope they will put the motors up for sale individually, but for now 40 usd for 2x motors isn’t terrible...
