Thanks for sharing it with us. IMHO the marshalling yards/fiddling areas of any train layout are the most interesting areas. There's always stuff to be moved around and shunted and re-organized. I have a much smaller set of switches so my layout choices are more restricted, but it's where the action is! Brick on!

I had the same plan! I guess there'll be a race to build Miner/Train MODS in August then. Game on!

I'm really digging all the architectural destruction detail - the cracks, the holes, the loose tiles, etc. It really does look natural and that it had just happened (minor quibble: Wouldn't there be more rubble in the street? and perhaps a burst water main?)

It looks fantastic! One quick question though is how does the three bogie wheel system handle curves, points, etc?

Congratulations! http://www.pcworld.com/article/251399/lego_apple_store_lets_your_minifigures_line_up_for_new_igadgets.html

That's a nice looking structure! Thanks for sharing it with us.

It looks stunningly simple, but we all know its taken considerable effort ! Its beautiful and thanks for sharing your work.

Thanks, I really appreciate the info!

I have two 4548 Transformer and Speed Regulators that I use for two different track loops, but these were UK Transformers (using 240V AC as input) and I need to locate a US-power supply equivalent (110 AC). I've rummaged through my house and found two 9V transformers (one from the phone, and one from a rechargeable drill) but both give different performances when attached to the Speed Regulators and the SigOther wants the phone back :( Is anyone aware of a current Lego Product that I could use (like the 9833 Transformer?) or do the members of this group have there own off-brand preferences? And (dumb question here) has anyone successfully tried higher voltages? Thanks peeps! Chris

Flawless execution. Thank you for sharing these with us and, once again, the bar has been raised.

What a great MOC you've got. There's some fantastic attention to detail. Brick on!

You've got great enthusiasm for the product and it made for an interesting and entertaining review! Thanks for posting. I'm just wondering if anyone else has Golden-age era sets that they could review?

You can't select a new hire based purely on looks. You'll have to consider their work experience, aptitude, work ethic, etc. I suggest you perform extensive background tests to ensure that you get the right candidate for the job.

A Barbershop sounds interesting, but is there any chance of a Pie Shop further down the road?

Only two people queuing? Presumably there's no iPhone 5/iPad 3 about to be launched. Seriously though, I like it.

Nice looking coach and I certainly like the clean lines. What engine are you thinking of to pull it?

Definitely liking the architectural details at the top of the 'Woolies' building. It looks just right!

This looks fantastic! Though I'm a bit concerned about the lack of safety features around the Lift (Elevator). I can see many poor minifigs plunging to their deaths. :) I'm going to have to start saving my pennies for this one....

Thanks for a comprehensive and entertaining review.

That is fantastic! There's so much going on wherever you look. There's, what seems to be, a whole lot of track in the background of the pictures just waiting to be used. What do you think you'll be adding next? I can't wait to find out.

The thing we've all got to remember though is that TLG is a commercial operation and that for any new Product launch it's the size of the addressable market thats important. A Train Engine shed would only be on interest to a subset of the Train community and they'd be little possibility of sales into other Lego communities. But, I agree with you. A new shed would be most welcome. I just don't see it happening.

I'd always thought that the original 4554 Metro Station looked a bit out of place as a large mass of yellow. Sure it was a large structure, but nowadays it definitely looks like a set from another era. I like the redesign you've made and I think the colour choice definitely fits in with the Mod buildings. I guess I'm now off to Bricklink

Does the yellow streak at the top of the train appearing on one half of one side mean that it's for passenger use? If it is then I'm guessing I'm slowly discovering the nuances. Either way, I'm really appreciating the attention to detail.

Wow! I've just stumbled across your work. This is fantastic and it looks just like my grandmothers house in Newbury, England. The detail-work is superb and the inclusion of a caravan made me smile.

I'm thinking that a Zombie Thomas engine could be an interesting sub-genre :) Ghostly or not I'm just pleased that Lego is releasing a new Train.....
