[MOC] Totternhoe: Narrow Gauge Railway
Roadmonkeytj replied to scruffulous's topic in LEGO Train Tech
Pictures or it didn't happen lol... Seriously got a link to the project? -
Not if you snot it to the side of a building.... And only use the top rail lol
-
Black looks good on this unit. Well done sir
-
Thanks! Unfortunately the interior is made up of angular plates. I have filled all gaps in the boiler with brick so she's not hollow. I'm hoping it will do alright seeing as the holiday train is lighter (less bricks) and pulls about the same no issue... The open cars are pretty light weight lol. I'm looking forward to it as well! But then it might miss a pump lol I will keep that in mind should the current set up not work out so well so thanks!

That is exactly how we ran it at our December show - with some customized wagons - you'll find the rotating tree robs some power from it, however if you can run it on 9V its even better because you can rid the ugly battery box all together and have a load of coal! the 9V wheels look great on it and it doesn't care that the tree rotates.

The met tower is great looks like everything is there. The gem is the Rover! I may have to "blatantly copy" er... Um.... Borrow... Yea borrow the design. The base is great as well I love the tire tracks. Well done on the sand spilling over the box. My only issue is by itself with figs the rover looks too tall but once in the scene it's perfect so maybe that's just an illusion.

It's OK we're a great support group... We completely support your MADNESS! LMAO This is even better than before. I showed your original to a lug member and we both want to integrate it into the clubs layout. Any pictures of the "support system" would be welcomed! I bet the kids love seeing floating cars lol how many look under the table! -
I download the PDF from Lego instructions then build in LDD.
-
As soon as I've finished it I'm already changing it lol so here it is in LDD. Everything is loaded into bricklink! This will be powered up the pf battery box is just a placeholder.

Seeing as that's the colour of choice when dressing a WTC Marine

WIP: Dive coaster with three loopings using the LEGO coaster track
Roadmonkeytj replied to Legopold's topic in LEGO Town
Very interesting work! -
Quinntsvile got it! Lol @Mesabi ... It seems your put the cart before the horse... Or lack there of... Was this one hauled off for sausage? Even if it's beyond the "bounds" you've set up for the build it would have been a good seat... Or leave the yoke off the cart.
-
This makes more sense lol!
-
The front is well executed but the back.... Wow. The only thing that bothers me is the doors to nowhere lol.
-
Well let me know what I can do... I wanted it from first laying eyes on it so any help you got it from me.

Stephenson's Rocket & LNER J70 MOCS (LDD)
Roadmonkeytj replied to FlyingFordFalcon's topic in LEGO Train Tech
Sir Toppem would be proud. Seriously though well done on the tram... I look forward to seeing it's carriage! As far as the rocket. It's well done as is but I feel it could use some more refining! -
At risk of being abused about the head and ears... I want to thank @ALCO for posting this. The holiday train is always a favorite even when not in season at our clubs shows. I have reworked the original design to look like our local zoo train to include in our clubs zoo layout. Pics once I get the design finalized! But a simple search of adding rods to holiday train and bam!
-
Clever base... Looks like low tide I agree with the figure posing. The rock work blends well with the vegetation.
-
This is a fun build... I like that the roof is being redone and there's is other action to see. I do wish the brick bricks were red though to match the prefab walls.
-
Sadly it looks like we will fall short of the supporters needed... What are the plans from here? Would love to build this one for myself!
-
Your building is rather drafty. Nothing ruins a decent build quicker than bricks not seated properly. It would be different if the brick is needing to be unseated to give the proper effect however this is not the case. This is a reoccurring issue in several of your builds. Are you afraid you won't get the bricks separated? Do you need a human interface tool? ... I'm would be happy to send you one if you don't have one. It just makes a sloppy presentation as if your in such a hurry that you didn't stop to look it over. Other than that I would have liked to see lanterns in the headlight bricks by the door or an awning. Or just a plain brick instead.

[SR - FB] Alfie's Place - The Sereen Cay

Haha I know the feeling exactly lol. I never seen any pirates beyond the mid 90s lol -
I really like your solution for sleepers on this. The model is well done. What made you choose 7W?

One of my Lug members just did this very thing... He still spent 150 on just the engine but he swapped in the Bluetooth which made it nice... We ran it on the layout with another members original SF and they looked great together!
