    @mtrkustoms Why did you use two M-motors? that kinda seems like overkill? Other than that, this is some great stuff
  2. M_slug357
    Isn't that true of any lego creation?? lol
  3. M_slug357
    Interesting; What inspired you to create this particular work of fiction?

    Oops, forgot to add this one too: DMU 158 791 by The Original Whisky Galore, on Flickr This one is actually very 'unisex' in its color scheme, but I could totally see it as a Friends' tie-in set.

    I kinda think the Metroliner is done for, considering that not only did it get a re-release, but also on its original run it got that extra club car set. To see it for a third time wouldn't be unwelcome, but it would also suggest an ironic lack of new set ideas on TLG's part... I'm currently hankering for passenger trains such as these: DMU 153 353 by The Original Whisky Galore, on Flickr Narrow Gauge Streetcar in Porta Maggiore, #Rome, Italy by Tolga Erbora, on Flickr And for some cross-theme appeal with Lego Friends' sets: Prameks rasa anggur by Yulianto, on Flickr The first one is my favorite, and the other two are good examples as well. I really like these because, in terms of building in lego, construction could stay fairly basic for younger builders as well as allow older builders the ability to acquire/build multiple units and make longer consists at a (theoretically) more affordable price.

    wow! this is a great reproduction of the Mallard! What gear ratio(s) are you using for the motor?
  7. M_slug357
    While I like the looks of HST's, I do think TLG has done too many of them in recent memory. I'm still holding out for a passenger train that's more... urbane?
  8. M_slug357
    whoa, that's wayyy oversized for minifig scale... It makes an adult fig look like a small child! Maybe if tlg brought back those technic big-figs, it might look more appropriate? Also, I'm saddened that we have a creator-expert bus this year, but no creator-expert train to follow up after the Horizon Express... :/

    Idk about monorail, the original lego version wasn't a true monorail, and Hidaka's version is really parts-intensive (albeit fairly basic parts). Weren't there a couple of technic-based ideas floating around out there? I tried my hand at a technic solution that used beams for the rail. But I found it difficult to have powered bogies that could traverse 15 degree inclines as well as be coupled together. If I can find them, and if anyone's interested, I'll post some pics?

    You could also go the crazy route, like I did with my EN: EN 2.0 Complete (2) by Nick Jackson, on Flickr

    This has been discussed before, but it's best to let sleeping dogs lie. I'd say you ought to purchase the individual pieces from BrickLink, simply because you can find the same pieces in alternate colours. Unfortunately, I'd say that colors like dark green and tan are exceedingly popular right now, and therefore much, much more expensive. Otherwise, good luck and happy building!

    This is awesome! Wasn't the street wider in the movie? I can't remember... You should make a comparison foto if possible!
  13. M_slug357
    Yeah, Ryan really went all out over there!
  14. M_slug357
    Oh, for the actual building itself-- maybe add some lines of blue (if possible) to the exterior of the main building. Also, maybe consider extending the height of the clocktower a bit? A figure can't see it from the opposite side of the station (if that matters)... Just my thoughts
  15. M_slug357
    What would be the purpose of this piece though? It's not exactly friendly to longer engines or cars...
  16. M_slug357
    I think it needs a more tropical color perhaps?
  17. M_slug357
    It needs some clowns to add to the creep factor
  18. M_slug357
    Congrats on surpassing the 1k mark!
  19. M_slug357
    @coaster This is some awesome progress!! Can't wait to see more!
  20. M_slug357
    Nice recolouring! Also, I think a blue one and a yellow one have already been made.
  21. M_slug357
    This is fantastic! lol, ((how much is your electric bill))
  22. M_slug357
    This looks promising! I have a few questions though: -How many motors can this support? -Why only one attachment port? -What about compatibility with older 9V components? battery boxes, etc.
  23. M_slug357
    Hmm, that might explain the dip in quality for the TV show. lol But yeah, I think Mattel owning the franchise outright means that other companies can't make products for it, unless Mattel gave them permission to do so. (((Ironically, this is where Chinese clone brands could be of use)))
  24. M_slug357
    Is TTTE as popular with kids now as it was 10 - 20 years ago? I feel old now... lol While I wouldn't mind some nostalgia either, I'm not sure how much appeal a System series of set would have compared to another Duplo series of sets would have? I know one of the rLUGs out there has built up a huge collection of TTTE characters, so it's not impossible parts-wise.

    While I agree that we should get another steamer, I think it would be nice to have an American steam engine, Like this tank engine: Or this tender engine: Maybe even this larger one? Although, I still think that the safest thing TLC could do would be to re-release the Emerald Night set-- either as a complete train set with electronics + track + 2 coaches + small platform, or in an alternate colour scheme like Ruby (dk red) or Sapphire (dk blue).
