    Good looking passenger consist.

    What a great idea. I'd never considered using the wind up motors for something like this. Reminds me of some toys from my childhood.

    Love the Swiss trains. The red Glacier Express is a stunning gem.

    Good looking Old West classic. I like the use of the cow skull.

    Great work Esben. Working doors cap off a great display with all that detail.

    Gutes altes lok.

    8: 10 16: 6 2: 4 21: 3 24: 2 26: 1 Good work from all contestants. I really do like seeing the motors used as live clocks for some reason. I guess it's because I'd have never contemplated it.

    I will agree with Zephyr1934's statements. The profile on the tracks is spot on to the new stuff down to the little lip on the bottom of the rails. Brick Tracks has built an excellent product. While I've not used the ME rails, I've got the old blue 12V and can believe the problems with that stuff. BT is plug and play compatible.

    Sweet work. Looks good and is functional too.

    The white one looks like all it's missing is a few Octan stickers. Definitely a nice parts usage for an unloved piece. They give a certain 1950-1970 European feel.

    It's a fine looking locomotive. Good details.

    Good looking vans. They are spot on to the reference picture.

    Seriously good work on this. Lots of details and functionality. The stickers cap it off.

    And that's a heck of an engineering feat. Getting it to run on 9V and 12V without issues, great work. The model looks good too.

    Recently, Brick Tracks did a little bit of advertising and putting their money where their mouth is by sending out free samples to 100 individuals. Upon receipt, I opened the envelope and checked the contents. I happened to get a segment of R104 track. The finish is excellent and nearly identical to LEGO tracks. The color is a virtual match and the finish isn't as glossy, but it's not easy to tell the difference at 10 feet. The track has fully compatible studs and tubes on the underside allowing for proper mounting and ballasting with real LEGO. The only difference is the studs have "BT" molded into the top and "Brick Tracks" and the curve size on the underside. While judging from Brick Tracks online catalog, each varying curve radius is designed slightly differently so one can tell by looking at the top the differences, the underside information ensure you can always figure out which piece is what. The attachment to regular LEGO is the same setup and a breeze. The clutch ability is firm and I didn't have any problems connecting the segment of R104 to switches, straight track, curves, or flexi track. Once connected, the rail profile is the exact same. Running trains over it was a breeze and I didn't encounter any problems running regular LEGO PF trains or my diesel SD70ACe MOC over it with full rakes of well cars, coal hoppers, or passenger consists. In summary, I am pleased with Brick Track's product and eagerly await their other geometry options. If they start to do switches and crossovers, I'd be even happier.

    Nice little consist. It would fit at any little museumbahn.
  17. Feuer Zug
    12v lives! Your MOC looks very period, yet fresh. It fits well with the style of the time then and could still turn heads today. Good work.
  18. Feuer Zug
    Great work on a classic EMD model. You've captured it.
  19. Feuer Zug
    Great work on your SC70ACe.

    All, this setup is a Frankenstein creation since I acquired a huge assortment of old blue 12v stuff earlier this year at a trunk sale. I got a pair of transformers, a few motors (and one 4.5v with 2 battery packs), a 90 degree cross, a pair of switches, and enough track to build a long setup. I started in LEGO trains after the 9v era, so I have only known Power Functions. I wanted my Christmas train to run without chewing through batteries, so I converted it to a 4-4-0 setup with the 12v motor in a longer tender. Besides my winter setup, I have been working on some rolling stock for my SD70ACe. I've built a pair of coal hoppers, a covered grain hopper, a oil car, and a "seat" gondola (not pictured). I am now working on a US style autorack. All this is in addition to my 5 TTX well cars. With the pair of L motors, it can pull 8-10 MOC cars with little problem. It's slow, but a hauler. Now, as requested, detailed pictures of my coal hopper.

    A Union Pacific SD70-ACe delivers a unit coal train of Powder River's finest to Santa on Christmas Eve in time for next day deliver to all the bad boys and girl's stockings.

    A great set of updates. I am enjoying learning about the old history of this hobby. It also helps me when I come across pieces that I have no idea what their function is/was.
  23. Feuer Zug
    Nicely done rake of spine cars. You have a good mix of detail and I understand the limitations based on my own well cars. Keep it up.
  24. Feuer Zug
    Oooh, nice trainsets. Lots of fun and futuristic designs.
  25. Feuer Zug
    Nice looking pair of Geeps. The tall grasses give the idea of a rarely used railroad here.
