Fx Bricks (Michael Gale) announces Fx Track system
pirzyk replied to HoMa's topic in LEGO Train Tech
Guess you have not been to any NILTC, PennLUG, TXBRR or LOLUG show (to name a few). There are many LUGs using BrickTracks R120/R104 curves. -
Looks awesome Tony!
-
Nice!

Nice long train, We should do a side by side with my City of New Orleans!
-
Lighting all the way! This uses Brickstuff lights w/i each modular and custom wiring in the roads to run power to each building. Show setup is only a couple of hours.

Press Release: Creator Expert 10269 Harley-Davidson Fat Boy
pirzyk replied to Vilhelm22's topic in Special LEGO Themes
Unfortunately trains are such a niche market that LEGO seems only to be able to add them when there is a tyin with some other property. I think to get scale models we are going to have to rely on third parties like BMR and Brickmania. -
Question regarding old style and new style magnetic train couplers
pirzyk replied to lionatucla's topic in LEGO Train Tech
I sometimes have to rotate two traincars along the coupler axis to get the re-orientation of the magnets. Once that is done, they seem to stay together unless my train is really, really long (say 15+ cars). Then I use rare earth magnets to augment the power. -
Am I correct in saying you only have one PUP train motor? Looks like you are using the second socket for the LEDs.

Nice, build. What is the full height of the build? Did you have to remove floors from the original as part of the selective compression? Does yoir LUG have any limits/restrictions on height of your builds or is it just what each venur can support?

The brownstone from PS (10218 I think) is a common mirror build. I also built it from the instructions and every once and a while I had to stop and get my bearings to see what I was doing i.e. it becomes a slower build and you have to visualize more. I like the idea of taking a photo and flipping it to help.

With any new track system the expensive items in both engineering and tooling will be realistic, working crossovers and switches. Unless you have them, can you be considered viable solution?

Nice showing up those model railroaders :) Just like at NMRA!
-
We like 4Dbrix, they come up with some nice work. I just wonder how the clutch power of thr 3D printing will last? I may just have to get one and try it out, though I use the lipo batteries.

Modular Building Sets - Rumours and Discussion
pirzyk replied to The Jersey Brick Guy's topic in LEGO Town
The list is also missing '10268 - Vestas Wind Turbine' As for the 'Creator Garage' I can see that as a way to help hide the reveal from leaks from LEGO and the name is just a placeholder. Really disapointed if it is a fake, I was really looking forward to a Creator Expert Ford Mustang. -
That is an update! I really like what you did with the roof.

Detective's Office, Brick Bank and Tower Bridge retiring soon?
pirzyk replied to brickmeistro's topic in LEGO Town
On the US S@H site the DO is listed as Out of Stock: https://shop.lego.com/en-US/Detective-s-Office-10246 -
I like this version more than the previous one. The previous one is good, but you've taken it to the next level.

2018 competition of China Lego Train Funs Group
pirzyk replied to marbleman's topic in LEGO Train Tech
I'm all for making trains more realistic than be able to run on R40s, now that we have that option. -
2018 competition of China Lego Train Funs Group
pirzyk replied to marbleman's topic in LEGO Train Tech
Nice photos! One question on the CRH rejuvenation. What curves can it run through, can it hadle LEGO R40 curves or need the aftermarket R56, R72, R88, R104 or R120 curves? -
You may look at the backing paper of the Vinyl if you have any left. One large brand is Oracal and may have a number like 631 or such. Getting the specific color will be harder unless someone specifically printed the number on the back.

Thomas the Tank Engine and The Lego Group
pirzyk replied to Digger of Bricks's topic in LEGO Train Tech
As LEGO mentioned before, the train market is just too small for them to invest in its own line, there needs to be a tie in theme (winter, hp, etc). This leaves 3rd parties like BMR to fill the niche.
