Bricktrain

This one I built for a friend, I hope to build my own in the next week or so.

Correct, NZ is RHD so changed it over. I had made the mistake of mirroring the engine also but have changed it back.

with control plus

Yes I was, trucks were there as well as some other exhibitors didn't turn up so filled their tables.

I have replaced the wheels several times and replaced the bodies, some of my original bodies also have started jumping off the track due to the side lug that holds them on being worn. The tracks also need regular cleaning. still haven't found a fixall solution. Mine is about 3x the original size with two climbs and gets used at shows.

I have been having the same problem since the B+P went back on, I usually order every couple of weeks but now it wont process payment at all, been trying for 4 days.

I use Chrome Block City on Bricklink. Auri has been great, haven't had any problems, unlike some of the other stores whose bricks broke trying to fit them together. https://store.bricklink.com/Aurimax#/terms

Early sets had 10 metallic silver wheels, then some had six silver and 4 BG, then they had all BG. I had some of each, all bought at Kmart around the same time. Yes to the two different types of axle joiner, this was at the time the smooth one was being released so many got those. Also the pin joiner with slot appeared in some of these sets.

Those prices look not too bad, was expecting much worse, mind you time they get the NZ site back up and inflate the prices to NZ$ they will be twice that.

my J5 Galaxy only has Android 5 so had to upgrade my phone to download the app. Android 6.0 is minimum.

Old defender is not as compromised on road as many think. I have both v8 petrol and Turbo diesel 110s and either of them will shame a lot of cars on road trips. Maybe not in straight road speed but on windy roads not much will get away from it. My brother used to ride with me and used to say you should see the look on peoples faces when they get passed by a vintage landrover

Funny how many complain about not enough gears in a set, now we have unnecessary gears too. LOL.

Off Topic sorry, but I wont be looking forward to any new so called Defender. I have two 110s myself. I am looking forward to the new parts in several of the new sets, especially the excavator and if the rumours are correct new hubs in the crawler, I will delay building my AC300 axles until I have these parts.
