    I think there was one a few years ago that came with a flatbed truck & Garbage/Recycling boxes. If I remember correctly, it was very small and not nearly as nice as yours.

    Your design has some things going for it. The carbody looks much better, although there are a few unnecessary vents in places. The nose... well.. This is a step backward for me. While the big curved parts can be made to lend themselves to shape an F7a nose, you lose all the modularity available via a style like the 10020 has. With your nose, I can't install the secondary light shown in two of your prototype photos. The pilot is also a step backward, I think. Also the roof fans are a little out of whack.

    I have to admit, the tender skirting is throwing me off. Seems like it hangs too low. Other than that, I love it.

    Oh man, I love them.

    Anyone have ideas for substituting BBB Medium drive wheels? I have a switcher in LDD I made a long time ago and I would like to improve it.

    Hello. I have a few minifigs I made that I would like to give shoes. I'm thinking like the Pretzel Girl CMF. I've done some searching, but I can't find anything noteworthy on how to do this. I was considering using vinyl stripe tape to get the effect. Any ideas? All of what I'm doing involves a darker color on a lighter color leg, so no crazy stuff is needed to make the color visible.

    Funny how it looks very close to early ALCO-made diesels, between the cab shape, hood shape and trucks. I really like it.

    Uh.. what? WOuldn't it be a good thing for us? Score some cheap complete train sets and such.

    What are the silver rails you're talking about? The metal ones? (Also OT, but I don't recall if I told you that I shared images of your model #261 with the real loco's owning group, Friends of the 261, on Facebook. They loved it.)

    If you were so inclined, you could use the brown only on sidings, stubs or abandoned rails to represent track that is infrequently used.

    I like it. I think I'll save the plans for future use though. No need to cut any baseplates either. A couple 16x32 plates along the sides fixes that hole.

    Hmm... My warehouse worker brain says the dock doors are too small, but that detail aside I am VERY impressed.

    Don't worry too much about the 'why'. It's a slick-looking engine. I have a similar case. Normally I don't really like anything not found in the U.S., but for some reason I fell in love with the Soviet P36 4-8-4 and E-class 0-10-0 steam locomotives, both of which I wish to construct and run.

    Oh man, I love all three of those, the Northern Pacific train especially.

    Well crap, I don't have a photo of my longest train thus far. I ran three PF locomotives on 8 heavy freight cars the other night (batteries were dying, hence 3).

    What kind of lighting do you use? Are you relying on LEGO PowerFunctions lights, or are they LED's you have assembled yourself?
  17. LoneBrickerSG
    I think that means it is basically its own. Our biggest common denominator is 6-wide track (not to shake my nose at you narrow-gaugers). I'd argue that makes 'L-gauge" atleast applicable to design concepts commonly applied to scale model railroads.
  18. LoneBrickerSG
    I think the truck design needs to be re-visited.. what I see in the render is basically opposite of the photos. Flatter truck frames would help facilitate the narrow gauge look, although I realize doing so is very difficult. Other than this, I like it. I actually just read an article in Trains magazine about this railroad yesterday.

    Huh.. you used aquarium rock for ballast instead of lego plates.. interesting. Yours is the kind of table I want to have one day.

    I think you need to settle down a little bit, there. I know that atleast one of my 90's castle walls broke. As for new brick shade mis-matching, I've only experienced this with the Horizon Express having two shades of orange brick. This is after going through the gambit of buying and building a large number of recent City, Movie and Creator sets. To be perfectly honest, I don't have a problem with this. Let 60051, 60052 and 60098 simmer for a while. They're good sets that deserve plenty of spotlight. I'm more interested in any possibility of another Creator train.

    Looks OK overall, but I think the wheels still need work. Not all of the drive wheels have the big counterweights like that.
  22. LoneBrickerSG
    That train looks amazing. You're really making me want to try out 8-wide trains myself.

    The Maersk locomotive is Norfolk Southern 3329. Despite the design compromises of trying to render an SD40-2 in official Lego form the paint scheme is pretty accurately represented. That's the most obvious tell as to the real identity. We're spoiled with the Horizon Express which does not leave any doubt as to what it is, despite being a monster of a train in size compared to the real-world, ground-hugging TGV train it is based on. 60052 is very much a GP-series american diesel design, although in need of a great deal of fleshing out for details. The Maersk loco looks much more like an SD40 than 60052 does. Do you happen to have pictures available, or perhaps advice? This is something I constantly wrestle with in loco designs I would like to build.
  24. LoneBrickerSG
    Ohhh please! I would buy those!
  25. LoneBrickerSG
    Right, but this is Lego and the cars are very free-rolling most of the time.
