People were talking about getting a train Ideas passed with 10,000 votes why not this one? It will at least get Lego's attention if nothing else. Link: https://ideas.lego.com/projects/101885/updates -RailCo NOTE: Not my personal idea

Hey all if you could give me updates on status of selling that would be great! -RailCo

MOC Winter Village Repair Shop by Rail Co, on Flickr The Story Behind My "Winter Village: Repair Shop": When I saw this Competition I thought to myself how can I make a small town winter themed set. When all of a sudden a small repair shop came to mind. I realized in this cold winter weather how are the minifigures going to get their cars fixed without a Repair Shop!. So I got to building and thinking about all the details. The scene is supposed to show a lightly dusted repair shop (maybe a small coating of snow like we get every few years in Texas). This is why the roof shows little snow and the ground has a thin layer. My goal was to include a tow truck and a car with a classic theme in mind hinting the 4 wide cars. Now enjoy the rest! MOC Winter Village Repair Shop by Rail Co, on Flickr The Repair Shop comes with 2 Figures, A repair man and a tow truck driver both made to look like classic town figures. It comes with a small sedan and a Flat bed tow truck, along with a bicycle as they repair everything here. MOC Winter Village Repair Shop by Rail Co, on Flickr The interior has many elements to it starting from left to right you will see a small shelf and a desk, this is where the repair man consults with clients about repairs that need to be done to their vehicle, on the shelf behind the desk there are small boxes of parts in stock to be used when cars, bikes, and motorcycles need them. Next you will see a rims in bins for cars who need them along with spare tires on the tire rack. On the shelf in the actual garage area of the shop you will see cans of oil, brake fluid, washer fluid, transmission fluid, etc. along with tools to. The floor of the garage is checkered as that is how I mention a small repair shop to be. MOC Winter Village Repair Shop by Rail Co, on Flickr The tow truck while cars are being worked on, is parked outside of a snowy pavement which is detached from the building so you can move it to any side of the building you choose so it can fit into a winter scene or city better.

Thank you @JackJonespaw and @Legocitycustoms, the main goal of the model was to fit within the guidelines of the competition while making it like a classic set with a modern twist. Cheers, -RailCo

Hello All! Some may have seen me on the Train Tech Forum. I also enjoy town and city sets! This is a Review over the LEGO 6600 Highway Construction set from the year 2000. This is my first review so constructive (no pun intended) criticism is welcome! Enjoy! Name: Highway Construction Set Number: 6600 Pieces: 317 Retail Price: $80 Minifigs: 5 Theme: Town/City Released: 2000 LEGO 6600! Highway Construction by Railco1, on Flickr This will be the first appearance of Matt, my Lego minifig who will help me in my reviews and MOCs. He has the "Grand Plan" or blueprints for the Highway to be built. This tile only was available in this set and it is a printed element! LEGO 6600! Highway Construction by Railco1, on Flickr The set comes with 4 signs, the Turn sign (is there a term for these?), the 30 mph (or kph) speed limit sign, the construction zone sign. and lastly the "Do Not Enter" sign. all printed elements and they all add playability to the set! LEGO 6600 Highway Construction by Railco1, on Flickr The set comes with 5 main instruction sheets, each with the different vehicles along with one for the support structures. LEGO 6600! Highway Construction by Railco1, on Flickr These pieces are what I like to call The Claw and The Dumper. The claw is pretty simple it is spring loaded to be pressed shut, to open it you just pinch the levers on the sides. The purpose for it is to pick up the little Dark Grey 1x1 round bricks. The Dumper stores those bricks and when you are ready you "dump" the into the Tipper Truck. They both hook onto the crane. LEGO 6600! Highway Construction by Railco1, on Flickr The Tipper truck, this holds all the loose materials and debris. These can be hauled to wherever you please! LEGO 6600! Highway Construction by Railco1, on Flickr The what I like to call "The Dozer with multiple uses" is a scooped front with a sort of flat bed back and also a giant toe hitch in the back. It picks up debris, it can also toe the crane to where it need to be moved! LEGO 6600! Highway Construction by Railco1, on Flickr The Police truck's purpose is to direct comuters if a lane is closed or as a police stop. It has many lights and signs just in case you cannot see giant 6x4 stude sign in front of you! Enjoy some more pictures! LEGO 6600! Highway Construction by Railco1, on Flickr LEGO 6600! Highway Construction by Railco1, on Flickr All in all it is a good set at about $80 Retail it was a good set for smaller kids than adults. I still love it as it is almost 15 years old! The set ratings are... Value: 7/10 For your money back it was good more for kids. Playability: 9/10 You can continue to like this set (mostly for the road plates). But you get a couple of good figures and some very good trucks. Design: 6/10 The designs are pretty bulky and very "studdy" if you will but it was ment for small kids and it was from 2000... Parts: 9/10 With this set you got a few rare parts including the roofs for the Trucks (4x4 with 45 degree slope), Road Plates, and many signs and printed parts (No Stickers!) Overall 7.75/10 You do get some good parts but the downside is the bulkiness of the vehicles. LEGO 6600! Highway Construction by Railco1, on Flickr Hope you enjoyed this review! Thanks for reading! Remember constructive criticism welcome! -Rail Co

How much are the gas station (shell) and the Truck (6357) going for you or how much are you selling them for! Thanks -RailCo

are you planning on selling any of this at the moment as I am interested in the modular and the constitution train chase if they are at a reasonable price. Great Bulk though -RailCo P.S. I f you come across more train sets i would be interested in those too.

I hope to reduce the price you have used a hollow design as it would use a lot less plastic and is still going to be strong if you leave enough plastic for the thickness of the walls. Great job on the Monorail designs though! -RailCo

I found that same thing when i was building mine i forgot to post about that! -RailCo

I'm sure you could make a buck or two if you put these on shapeways along with many other track pieces if you make more! Great job. -Railco

There's no words one how spectacular this is the detail and streamline of everything is impeccable!!!! :drool: :drool: Wow -RailCo

I arranged my hoses EXACTLY to the instructions and my crane turns perfectly, I would recommend taking the hoses out and redoing them. Everything you connect a pair of hoses turn the crane 180 each way and make sure it works if it doesn't bend the hoses accordingly repeat for all hoses. That is what I did when i first built it and it worked for me. Also make sure none are sticking to far out on the underside of the crane that can cause issues too Good Luck! -Railco

Anyone know a good way to add motorized steering as the making it move is easy but I don't know where to put a servo or m motor to turn in without it looking ugly. Any suggestions? -RailCo

Incredible build! I really like that the suspension is so realistic and very soft like real bajas. Incredible job -RailCo

Nice small set review! Very good pictures, I would agree with you on the stickers it is kind of over done I didn't put all mine on. -RailCo

Great job! Love the detail you have there! Would like to see an interior shot! -RailCo
