    What did you buy today?

    I have today purchased lego technic set 8265 and 8262 in a shop that had -30% discount.
  6. I have in the last week built a lego model of DB V200 diesel engine, has chosen to build Model in 7 knots of width. I have using the 3794 - Plate, Modified 1 x 2 with 1 Stud been able to use the usual 6 x 28 knots plate in the bottom of Loco. Have chosen to use SNOT technique to make the nose of Loco, have used 2 engines in the locomotive. The locomotive weighs 690 grams, after all it is more of a 2 x weight of Loco in the cargo train set 4512. I found the instructions (in PDF format) on RailBricks page, I found James Mathis's version after on brick shelf. Photo here: More photos here : http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=411379

    What made you get out of your LEGO dark age?

    Compared to the lego: Have well played with lego throughout childhood there was a lot of lego building in conjunction with one that went in my class.The first set I can remember is a lego train with blue rails, I think it's set 171, published in 1972 (Peeron ) i shouldn taken care of it!. Discovered lego technic in the autumn of 1977 (technic set 850) and has probably built most of technic through vocational school osv.Have a "dark age" until 1988 when I saw the Hi fi and electronics magazine that you could make robots ut av legotechnic if you connects it to the old commodore 64 i connecting 2 technic motors to a Commodore 64 and made some stuff, fun but no return message to the computer (an early "edition" of nxt). Discovered bricklink,Tile association for Norwegian Lego enthusiasts spring 2007 after trying to buy the Lego set 6116 with no luck.
