Brik-el

Ok I'm not to sure what happened to brickshelf, but I motorized the Royal. So no pics ATM. Also this is a selfish bump to get this train into the MOC INDEX. :)

OK here's something you don't see everyday.......... Another view of the street................... and another.................. what the heck, one more.................. You can kinda see the grid here for the map. Didn't work out quit the way I wanted it to..................... Some more close ups of grid. Need more flat pieces, I ran out. Another street view.................. More close ups of Grid. Ok so this is the first half of the map. Im currently constructing the next part. They will be able to click together for a bigger map. Or used individually for smaller map. Let me know what you think. Oh for the specs. Each grid square is 5 studs by 5 studs. Each story for the building is 5 bricks high. SO each floor of climbing a ladder is one movement. SO that means the dark grey building is 2 stories high, so 2 moves to get to top. The light grey is 3 stories high, etc, etc. Ok i'll be back with part 2 of the map today or tomorrow.

Okay here is my Station. Its a mix of other sets and my imagination. Lets try this deep link thing again. Oh and my camera isn't that great. Hope you somewhat like this. Love Richard.

Okay, gonna try this deeplink thing. first of, my lumber/log cars for my CN rail..... each of these cars are missing their steps, actually all of my rolling stock is. I'll get around to fixing it. Next up, my version of the TTX cars......... with my own versions of cargo my gondola is next........ next up is my hopper and finally my caboose (which i mangled for other cars) when i get the time i'll add the steps. hopefully i'll get a video of all this runnin together soon.

had some time to improve this model. Since brickshelf is down at the moment, heres a pic.

These are fantastic. Love that yellow and black look. Are these powered?

Nobody has mentioned the engine number yet. I thought it was funny. Cheers!

I thought my computer was going crazy. Good to know its not just me. I've got new train pics, and i just learned how to deep link. Please brickshelf, come back soon.

they must be rotating gates like when u go on the subway or go to an amusement park. It also counts the number of people passing through

***UPDATE*** took better pics. here they are

Keep up the good work. Cant wait to see the finished product!!!

Okay guys, I had to destroy the GE for this. Hope you like it. When the Brickshelf link goes up i'll post, so you can see different angles. ***UPDATE*** took better pics. here they are

Okay i took the pics down from here, but..... i've got the brickshelf link right here.......... http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=481855

Ok guys heres the link to more pics of the ROYAL CANADIAN http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=481259 thanks for all the comments

Ok guys heres something new and fun. Yes the colours are an bit out there, but hey, wheres the fun in plain? So let me introduce you to my Blue & Orange GE Tell me what you think, and what could be improved. Thanks, eh!

this is what i did. but i bashed the kit and created my first MOC with it. my lovely red CP diesel.

AussieJimbo hey thanks for the tip. did you have to only buy one set for all those? where did u get them game btw? would it be in walmart? i assume you live down under, im hoping you got it in a retail store. thanks chum!

Hey guys here it is. I will put the brickshelf link up tomorrow when it goes up.

UPDATE. Just finished building the dummy car. Should have the decals on it by the end of tonight and hopefully new pics. if not tonight then tomorrow for sure. Hope you guys are enjoying this thing.

Ok I tweaked it a bunch Heres the new pics. Let me know how i did.

Man that is one kick butt layout you got goin on there!

Ok so im going fishin, but when i get back i'll put up new photo. i also had a wicked brain storm last night and i think i figured out the slope prob.

i need some rounded brown blocks for the top. do you guys know where i can find, or what set has some in it? Thanks.

I modeled this of the REAL Royal Canadian Pacific, that runs from Calgary to Vancouver and back. Its a luxury train which tours the Rockie Mountains http://www.royalcanadianpacific.com/ The Engine is an EMD FP9 a dummy car will follow, and when i get more brown bricks, the coaches. Its supposed to be triple boggy im sure, but it'll look good with a double. The idea was to have 2 motors, but i've been reading some peoples prob with that. So the dummy car is a great idea to fix that prob. One motor in Engine, one in dummy. The decals will come after i figure out the wheels. It'll be yellow lettering in the lower brown.

Heres what i've been workin on.
