    Nice work, Scorcher43 🫡👍, this reserve unit looks great! As lancers are, usually, light cavalry, you could equip them with wheel bases light armoured vehicles such as ASLAV or the FENNEK (scout car) that we use in the Dutch forces. Especially the latter, with its 3 pax crew would fit perfectly in your squadron.

    Nice to see this ”old-school” 😉👍 LEGO train buildings. What trainset 🚂🚋🚋 did your father use at that time?

    Hi there, LEGO Train 12 Volts, really a nice job done! Simple and yet a small gem to add to the railroad track. Did you use an existing diesel filling station for this MOC? 👏🏻😉👍

    Hello Pendra37, well done with this design! I've tons of wooden rails from the time that my grandsons were too young to play with LEGO. And trains really had caught them at that age. I think I'll try to build some small trains out of lego to fit these rails. So 4-wide must do the trick? Thanks for sharing this with all of us. 👏🏻👍

    Well, AlmightyArjen, awesome video of a magnificent '80's layout! Like the way you switched between day- and nighttime shots. And the funny jokes and scenes made it extra worthwhile. What a hell of a job it must have been wiring the whole lot! And nice that you also shared the many bloopers that you had orchestrating this train spectacle.

    Ahoy there, BillyG, great ship! I've got such ship still on my wish/ to-do list ?. What (ship?)parts did you use for the bow and rear end? Did you use blueprints from existing ships like the Unicorn? Love the way how you'e realised the gundecks. Perhaps for snowy: (Bricklink) Dog, Terrier with black eyes and pose and pink tongue pattern, item no: 26078pb001? Keep your rudder straight and keep going..........

    Wow, DwalinF, very nicely done! Love the details you've used!

    Hi Guys, and yes Raised, as it has been said: an interesting question that you've raised! But here's another question: did anyone ever inventorize the number of US rolling stock (building instructions [BI]) that is available (for free or for sale) compared to the EU rolling stock? Are the numbers far apart, you think? Could it be that the average US AFOL's mindset is willing to pay for BI quickly where the EU AFOL finds more satisfaction in the Trial & Error method? And, in USA, what was first, a demand for BI of the supply of BI? For sure in USA the model trains market is larger. When you consider the number of model railroad clubs and magazines, the numbers are larger than in EU. Plus, I think there are more US model railroad lovers in EU (and I'm one of these) than vice versa. Concerning the selling of BI on this side of the Atlantic ocean, I only know of a few companies selling commercial kits with BI. Besides those there are a number of individual AFOLs who are willing to share their range of ideas with other enthusiastic "trainheads". As far as I'm concerned it can be kept that way. LEGO is a hobby for me (which already cost me a bundle ) and I'm willing to share whatever with whoever. And perhaps a central library with train BI has to be set up?

    Well, Dario, impressive locomotives you've built here! How wide is your Big Boy? I can see, at the front, a number of details sticking out?

    Hi, Tmctiger, I took the time to go through your complete thread and to see all the photo's of the building of your layout. What a job and what great result!! Applause. But I wonder, how do you get to the trains when something goes wrong at the back of your layout under the town-level? Can you access that?
  11. Vliebricker
    Hi Ex Cinno, it looks fantastic! This coach must weight quit a lot with so many parts ?. Nice combo with that loc too.
  12. Vliebricker
    Great design, Murdoch17, something to remember for my own lay-out! Thanks.
  13. Vliebricker
    Hi, there, SpinX125, really love this small lay-out ?. You've managed to put a lot of details in it and it is not over-crowded. Nice to see the small container busyness as a theme on your lay-out. Your station is also beautifully done! And I understand that you operate 2 trainsets on this lay-out? This lay-out also is a nice try-out area for new train MOCs. Maybe I should build one like this myself, instead of the long straight track that I use now.

    Hi there, Brickviller V2, (is it V2 because you are back in the Lego spotlights ? after your dark ages...??). Brilliant idea of building your own Horizon Express. The red colour suits well. And your station MOC is also a very good looking building. Will it get an interior as well for buying tickets etc? Can't wait to see a follow-up on this station! Well done!
  15. Vliebricker
    Hi, Elysiumfountain, nice work! And a huge project in combination with the station. I particularly like the lighting in the coach and yes, you definitely should ad a second coach to your train. How, by the way, is it motorized? I don't see a IR receiver or something at your model. Such a model must for sure do it's tour on a nice lay-out ??.

    Hi, Ex cinno, nice train you've built here! It's a pity though that you didn't post a picture of the real D 145. I looked up the real D145 on the internet and I must disagree with Beck. The real D 145 also has a high, huge cabin. Relatively higher than you see with other sort like diesel-engines. At the photo's I've seen of the D 145 it seems the loc has a kind of bump at the cabin and this I don't find at your model. Nice work Ex cinno, keep up the good work!

    Hi there tmctiger, Günther, great lay-out ! How will you be operating all those switches? Manually? I see at your pictures all your running stock to be kit-engines? Do you also MOC your trains or just MOC-buildings? I'm very interested to see this layout completed.
  18. Vliebricker
    Hi there, Nemo57, well done! Beautiful model. Are your engines motorized?
  19. Vliebricker
    WoW, LegoLow, it really looks like a sciencefiction project with even 3D printing parts for this lay-out . And as I understand, you will use both 9V and 12V engines on this trackplan?
  20. Vliebricker
    Hi LegoLow, I found out about your lay-out only today. What a great rail plan! And so many levels. But will you be sure that your engines will be able to tow a number of carriages up into the mountains? How steep is it from level to level? Have you tried this out before? I've seen some comments about the narrow curves and longer engines and carriages, but in combination with the height of the levels and the overall train length, I hope the train will not fall still on your track. But nevertheless it's a very interesting lay-out that I wish we could do with our train-guys of the LOWLUG.

    Hi, PrisonBrick, great model this historic tram. But what is the idea of the rope? Can you tell me? I'm curious. And the windows, did you use doors for those, placed sideways?
  22. Vliebricker
    Hi there Marbleman, nicely done your DF-4B engine. Are you planning to do some passenger carriages in the same colourscheme as well? How are trainlengths in China compared to Europian or American length?
  23. Vliebricker
    Hi there Legotron, I agree totally with the others. It's a lovely piece of train and terain work that you've built. A real Panzerzug, wow! I wished that I could see it with my own eyes. It completely fits into my kind of theme as a former Panzer-man. Please come with more detailed photos. Did you build in a PF engine in the loc? Did you scratch-build the loc and wagons or did you use a buildingplan? All the Panzerbricks stuff is also awesome to see! Keep up with the good works and show it all.
  24. Vliebricker
    Hi, UrbanErwin, great to see all those wip-photos. I wonder how large will your modules be for handling? Especially the ones of long slow curve? Hope to see the result in autumn on LOWLUG LTC meeting.
  25. Vliebricker
    Wonderful job, Zephyr1934, as soon as I've some time I'll try to rebuild the "blue cargotrain" into the GP40. Great to know that stickers are available for a proper finishing touch.
