Feuer Zug

Nathan, that is one heck of a train. I must say, your work is always top notch and this doesn't disappoint.

I was recently shopping at a local market when I found an old gentleman selling a crate nearly full of LEGO bricks. He quoted me €25 for the entire lot. I did a quick check on the parts included and immediately knew I was getting it. I had an old boat hull, a motor, some practically mint classic Space figures with intact helmets, and some Building with People figures. After checking it out, I think I hit a jackpot. A 4.5V motor (I can't test it, no cables), plenty of near mint space minifigs, the original minifigs, some macro figs, 4x3 doors, and other assorted parts were within. This is a listing of the sets I can identify major parts of within the crate. There are enough classic space parts and red slopes to make me wonder how many sets the person had of each. Regretfully, a few parts have teeth and/or fingernail marks and about half the hinges were broken. Sets I think are in the crate: 6690 Snorkel Pumper (1980) 6382 Fire Station (1981) 842 Baseplates, Red and Blue 314 Police Launch (1976) or 709 Police Boat (1978) Got the old style minifigs in Black with hats 256 Police Officers with Motorcycle (1976) or 192 Policemen (1977) Building with People theme 276 Nurse with Child (1977) Building with People theme 664 TV Crew (1977) 107 Universal Motor (1976) Might have been: 387 Excavator and Dumper (1976) Evidence points to both vehicles based on broken parts I've found. If anybody can help me identify the set the trans dark blue 4x6 inverted slope and trailer came from, I would be most appreciative. Also, I have never seen the solid windscreens in the middle. One is a convex one, and all have studs across the entire top. Also, I got a pair of 24x32 green baseplates that I didn't know existed. I'm open to selling some of the parts from this. All the macro scale Building with People, most of the original minifigs, a red classic space minifig, the classic train wheels, the 4x3 doors, and the 4.5V motor are up for sale. PM offers.

Very nice MOC. The cupboard use is awesome.

I like the sheds you have there. Very nice designs.

My preference would be the enclosed cabin MOC snowplow. I've seen the Rockies in winter and have an appreciation for heated spaces. The snow your LEGO world receives is horrific! It comes down in 2x4 bricks! Either that, or they waited for a couple of melt and freeze cycles before conducting the test. suffice to say, I probably rather be in the Australian outback working the iron trains there than dealing with that kind of snow.

Great renditions of the Phantom. Can't wait to see what you build next.

I started collecting LEGO trains only a few years ago. They have often lost out to other sets when considering what to buy, but I am working on a couple of MOCs (2 diesel, electric, and 1 steam) that will hopefully build up my collection. Minifig Scale 3677 - Red Cargo Train 9467 - The Ghost Train (Modded into an American 4-4-0) 10194 - Emerald Night (PF modded) Micro Scale 31015 - Emerald Express 40028 - Mini Hogwart's Express (Closest I got to getting one) 40034 - Christmas Train Accessories and track 7499 - Flexible and Straight Track 7895 - Switching Tracks (2x) 7936 - Level Crossing 8870, 8871, 8879, 8882 (3x), 8883 (4x), 8884, 88000 (a few), and 88002 I also have a train station I build, a signal tower, and a few odds and ends sets to expand my layout that aren't quite train related. And if it counts, 79110 - Silver Mine Shootout

That is an awesome MOC. The lights make it even better. Kudos.

Phenomenal work on an awesome layout.

I have visited the NYC Rockafeller LEGO store and can confirm that it does charge prices above LEGO retail. It is the only store I have ever seen do this. I even asked and they said it was due to the location.

Very nice work. It reproduces the design superbly.

Nice design. The Soviets and the Americans have both designed such things. Using Amtrak though, interesting idea.

Hello all, I recently moved to Heinsburg, Deutschland. I am a big collector of LEGO and have an interest in getting to know others with similar pursuits in the area. I like military aviation, fire department, and railroad MOCs. My MOCs can be seen here: http://www.mocpages.com/home.php/78205
