That's a great looking utility diesel. Cramming a battery, motor, gearing and wiring into that small space certainly looked like a challenge.... and it's particularly nice to see it pulling an old set from the early 90s (the 4543). Thanks for sharing it with us!

Here's a link to the two reviews of the Emerald Night in this forum http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=28273 http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=59204 As for what's coming next, there is 79111 Constitution Train Chase set and you can find a link to images within this thread http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=74142. It's not available until April or so and probably isn't Christmassy enough without some enhancing.

MOC/WIP: Es. Co 2-6-2 Behemoth Pneumatic Locomotive
eurotrash replied to Electricsteam's topic in LEGO Train Tech
You have created a monster! A big hulking air-powered monster. Do you think it's possible to contain it within a 10-wide creation? or can it be orientated horizontally through 90 degrees so that it fits within an 8-wide? Congratulations though it sure looks impressive.... -
MOC/WIP: Es. Co 2-6-2 Behemoth Pneumatic Locomotive
eurotrash replied to Electricsteam's topic in LEGO Train Tech
I confess that when I saw the Topic was marked PoC that Proof of Concept wasn't the first thing that sprang to mind... Excellant! Yep, you've definitely got a traction problem Does increasing the train weight make a difference?, or, does that make it too heavy to move? -
End of the World - Colonel Sanders and the last Chicken Mega Bucket
eurotrash replied to Hammerstein NWC's topic in LEGO Action and Adventure Themes
Totally digging this one! Good luck in the competition. -
Building Drive: The End of the World! - Winner Announced!
eurotrash replied to Peppermint_M's topic in LEGO Action and Adventure Themes
I think the standard of the others is really high, but here's another one for consideration. http://www.eurobrick...showtopic=77184 So long and thanks for all the fish -
You might be in luck though with this time of year. January is typically the time for deep discounts to appear on Lego Sets and you may be able to pick up a bargain (or two or three). I agree with the other commenters about BrickLink. It is the best for specific pieces, but I learned a lot of techniques from the Sets that I then used in my MOCs. I'd also suggest looking at Pirates Forum here as there's some great creations on show there. Fingers crossed that you can grab some bargains! And don't forget to share your work here with us....

End of the World: It ends with a squish!
eurotrash posted a topic in LEGO Action and Adventure Themes
I wanted something with a big Monty Python foot in it. I wanted something with death and destruction. I wanted a terrible visual pun. So, here you go for your consideration.... Yep, the last man on earth has kicked the bucket! We, obviously, won't be around to hear the competition result but any suggestions and criticisms welcome until the end... -
Indexed by Moderator Here's a MOC for you to enjoy. It's loosely modelled on a northern England Signal Box that is now disused - the only difference was that on the original the stairs were wooden and open and here I made them out of bricks and semi-enclosed them with a retaining wall. As a concession to 2012 I upgraded the communication systems to include a Wireless dish. And the northern England Railway system runs completely on steaming cups of hot tea served in a yellow mug. And here's some MOC rolling stock passing in front of it. I hope you enjoy it and would appreciate any suggestions for improvement.

Nicely proportioned with clean lines. Seven wide definitely gives that bonnet/hood area a great definition! Thanks for sharing it with us.
-
I like this a lot, particularly the seven wide front grille. Thanks for sharing it with us
-
Thank you to everyone who worked to restore the service. Now the end of the world can be MOCed and shared!
-
Eleven figures? I count 7 I think the other four are doing a bank job in Colby city - hang on there's five in the other set.
-
Wow! An engine, a tender, and two carriages! ....and an exploding rock thing! I'm so looking forward to this!
-
I think the icicles work really well and the bow around the support pole looks just right. There's some good touches in this MOC. Good luck with the competition and thanks for sharing it with us!
-
I MOD them, but rather than build the back I tend to build them upwards and outwards.
-
It's a very effective model of a Kirk. I like the interior details you've managed to incorporate and the outside looks very wintery - especially with the 1 x 2 white files defining the top of the parapet and the window ledges. Good luck in the competition. Thanks for sharing it with us!
-
There's some great detail work in this and I think the colour combination is definitely a winner. Thanks for sharing it with us!
-
900-odd pieces? So maybe a $90-$110 dollar set? That might not too bad a way of grabbing a stack of MOC-able period train pieces....
-
Holy Smokes Batman - those are the biggest freakin' pantographs I've ever seen! I like it a lot. Thanks for sharing it with us.
-
Nicely done! Although the Doctor Who 'Weeping Angel' is giving me the creeps
-
Very nicely done. I particularly like the Menhirs and the megaliths. Thanks for sharing it with us!
-
I was unsure at the start, but now I'm getting excited about that Franchise!

This year I've used Bricklink extensively to help me emerge from my Dark Ages. I've ordered 21 times from seven different stores and only had one minor glitch with an order. I bought it to the stores' attention and it was promptly addressed. I was somewhat dubious about BL before I started using the service, but I like the way it works and prefer it to eBay and even prefer it to ordering direct from Lego (too high a unit price, too long a delivery time, and a limited choice).
