My signature also sums up my collection.

You can also place them individually in your sig. I'm not sure if that will eventually lead to issues.

I only have the PR and PC, but both along with my trains and vehicles are crammed on top of a dresser. Hopefully in the next few months I'll be moving in to a new house and at that point I plan on dedicating a room to my Lego city along with other hobbies.

Nice! I'm looking forward to seeing how you modded your wheels.

Done and done, thanks for the suggestion! I put a couple dark grey radiator grills where the square tile is/was on the hood. It performs just as well as it did in it's stock form- it's slightly heavier with the built up hood. I appreciate the praise, as mentioned your MOC inspired me- originally I planned on building something similar from the ground up, but figured I should make the most out of something I already had.

Thanks! You'll have a great time when you get yours also. At the very least I'm going to use the original box car and possibly try to obtain more. I'm not quite sure what I'm going to do with the others.

(Edited to add a better photo) 'woofmcmoose' started a thread for his 4563 based MOC a bit ago, I thought about posting this in his thread but figured it didn't really fit considering his goal was to use the PF function motor where I kept the 9V. When I came out of my dark ages, the first thing I had to acquire was the train from my childhood- the 4563 Load & Haul. As with many of you, once I got it, I started seeing room for improvement. My personal goal with this was to 1. Make a BR Class 08 style shunter using 2. as many of the original parts as possible and 3. parts that were readily available on Lego Pick a Brick. I'm very happy with the results. I drew a lot of inspiration from 'pinioncorp's small red shunter and other similar MOCs found on the internet. Despite not being accurate (not that anything else on my train is- 0-4-0 as opposed to 0-6-0) I am happy how the 2924 train front fits- which is good since I have no idea what else I would use it for! I apologize for the crummy photo, I need to start a flickr account! Next up, I plan on powering my Maersk Locomotive and waiting patiently for the 60052 to come out later this summer!

Oddly enough, I heard that cover before the Black Sabbath original. I got the 4563 Load & Haul set. Thank you to everyone for the welcome!

Hello, New member from the United States here. I've recently had a few life experiences that have lead me back to Lego. First, my girlfriend recently purchased a bucket of Legos for a child she's mentoring (she's a part of a non-profit organization called Big Brothers Big Sisters) and sitting down building brought back a lot of fond memories. Second, the Lego Movie added more fuel to the fire. Finally, I'm currently transitioning from my previous career to a new one in the engineering field and I'm embracing my curiosity, drive to create, and ability to reverse-engineer stuff and things. I recently won an auction on ebay for a 9V train set, so I'll mostly be spending my time in the train subforum.
