BrickTracks: different curves, PF/9V compatible
K-Style replied to JopieK's topic in LEGO Train Tech
Been checking here to see if shipping was on track but found this Facebook post saying its slipped to next year. https://www.facebook.com/1320952211258066/posts/3906021029417825/ -
BrickTracks: different curves, PF/9V compatible

Good timing. The 104's and 120's take up so much more room than stock curves, haha. -
BrickTracks: different curves, PF/9V compatible
K-Style replied to JopieK's topic in LEGO Train Tech
My tracks arrived. My son and I connected them up to Lego straights and had a hard time telling the difference apart from the BT on the studs. I only got 2 x 104 and 1 x 120 to start with we'll have to build some interesting layouts until I order some more corners. Cheers to coaster and co. -

Agree. I'm good for straights for a while but I will order more Bricktracks corners soon. Switches etc would be more useful. -

I just found a local* shop selling genuine straight track x 20 for Au$59 + shipping. Add ebay discount code = win. One pack already arrived and I've another on order. *In my country but 2000+ km away. -
No issues with mine. Got my BuWizz yesterday (fast shipping and even delviered on a Sunday!) It's a nice addition to the Emerald Knight as it sits lower and allows remote control.

Here we are. Nearly 3 years later. Very poorly run business. -

You are not alone. Aussie here. No contact since I got a PM on here 28 May 2015. Ordered one of each loop in ABS. -

Just got an update email. I was about to send an email but I'll leave it for a couple of weeks. -

Hi Mike, Eric, What news of shipping for those of us still waiting. (Plastic not metal). Cheers Scott -

What happens if you don't reach the goal in 26 days? The kickstarter page says this: "This project will only be funded if at least $79,000 is pledged by Sat, May 17 2014 4:22 PM AEST ." Does that mean no track will be delivered? -

It looks pretty neat with the bogies on. I'll get some pics up soon. I think I'll be waiting a while for the replacement 1x3 tiles. I thought I might have to skip some detail on the bogies because of how fragile they look but they actually hold together pretty well (I did use a 1 x 8 across the bogey so that the whole side of the bogey wasn't only supported at the rear). Haven't tested it around corners but I did move the ladders so it didn't contact on turning. It rolls along straights quite well. I reckon PF is quite doable.

Well I have finally received most of my orders. Unfortunately one of the sellers mixed up and gave me a million 1x4 green bits instead of 1x3. I noticed some blocks of varying colour too. I'm not sure if it looks out of scale with the official sets? I had to fix some structural issues and I still have a couple to fix. Hopefully the bogies are strong enough. Here are some bad pics. Thanks again to PYOBogie :)

The Australian price for the kit is Aus$20 cheaper than buying each item individually: $395.93 $375.99

I did a bit more redesign before I realized 3068 and 3069 are called 3068b and 3069b on bricklink. (yes I realize Annie listed all the parts on P1). I changed the engine doors so they are quite simple and very nearly in the same position. I changed the cab too but I might recess the door again at some point. There's room inside for a battery box and m-motor. I'll wait till everything is ready to work out where to put the PF inc IR receiver. Changes on the left. PickYourownBogie original on the right.

Thanks. Pick a Brick has not caught onto this convention so i was a little confused.
-
Hmmm. I cannot find Earth Blue and Earth Green are not on Bricklink? Any other suggestions?
-
Thanks Annie. Michael. Now the hunt for parts begins ;)

Hi there, This is a great build. I signed up to Brickshelf but unfortunately cannot access the design.
-
I don't think so. The front wheels are missing for starters. The boiler is a completely different build. I'm pretty sure buying two of these and then the rest of the parts would make it more expensive than ebay or even buying from lego pick a brick. This set is not for me but the train in the movie itself looks nice.
