Heres a link to some local news coverage :) http://www.abc.net.au/news/2011-08-08/lego-reigns-supreme-at-festival/2828722/?site=canberra

Yeh thats right it was Jim he said that he had seen it in the flesh and it was well into the development stage.

Was told at brickvention by a Lego employee and actually he told the whole room that was there about it but i just hope they release it asap.

Well I no there sitting on an auto charging station which i hope they release sooner than later so there are some slight changes ahead I'm sure.And I believe it Lego trains will only get better.

Looking forward to it cant believe its coming up so quick tho. Still got half a mountain to build lol.

Fantastic Esben so many nice features looking forward to seeing your brickshelf pictures.

Thx For the links guys, jawdroppingly awesome :)

Come on come on, I cant wait any longer I need this set badddddddd.O:)

9842 views on this thread thus far, I think this set is gonna do alot for Lego trains future.

Just what power functions needed an awesome diesel loco,I want 3 and I want them yesterday. This set is killer good, cant f'ing wait wooohooo.:)

Welcome aboard, sorry for the drool I just dropped on your Loco :)

I really hope its a bank,a lot of interesting details could be included like the vault,tellers and atm on the first floor.The usuall robber guy trying to make off with the loot and security trying to catch them.I don't no what I would like on the second floor maybe offices of some description or high end jewelry shop.Top floor maybe an apartment.

Exellent revue and I agree with your thoughts one fantastic set and I can see this being highly collectable in years to come

I could only imagine how this discussion would difer if the swapp had of been going from pf to 9v.

What an unbeleivable turnout,at times It was so packed I could'nt get near my own little display,(I had the Railway Station) Speaking to Steve the previous day he said to me he hoped to get around 500 people through the doors for it to be a success.LOL I think 20mins after opening that was achieved. I remember around 2.00 getting some fresh air on the balcony and seeing people still streaming in to be met by a cue an hour long. The mix of lego fantatics truly stunned and amazed me.The exhibition wasnt as huge as the turnout thats for sure but I dont think anyone could of predicted the tidal wave of Lego enthusiast that hit and it was surly a case of quality versus quantity as what was on display was awsome. What also surpised me was the number of afol's just like myself that had come out of the darkages in the last year. Actually it was my first display And I'll definately be doing alot more.Bigger and Better after being inspired by some fantastic builders. I didnt get a chance to take any photo's but thousands did and am sure we will be seeing lots on the net in days to come.

Hey all and thanks for taking the time to read this introduction.Im a Male from Australia and thrilled to join this fantastic website and I hope to make some contributions to it in the near future.Like most I started collecting Lego young, approx age5.When I was 17, sadly I made the mistake and sold my massive collection of town and technic that I'd cherished for many years to buy a car.Now 37 with a wife and kids Im back into Lego in a big way. I bought one of the rc train sets for my son last year and since then have been avidly collecting and building like i'd never stopped.I'm really into city&trains and have allmost finished my first major moc of a train station.Anyhow have bored you long enough thx again for reading :)
