When my layout was still up, I had enough track to run two to three 9V's on one medium sized loop. Depending on how long the trains were. If they were 2-4 cars, I could do three. The room's perimeter is 18.83'x 5.5' (226inx 66in) and the loop was about 12ft . I never used them much before my "dark age" or when my city growing exponentially starting in 2009 when that ended. Whenever I move them into a new house, I, like 'kyphur' plan to have a very large layout with numerous trains running. Primarily they will be 9V with a few smaller PF lines. Until then, they will remain boxed and that, just a dream
Good lookin' 'lt'. At first I thought 'Cpt J' might have accidentally mixed the bumper assemblies up (grill tiles on the rear; solid tile front). Then I remembered TLG started using stickers for grills. Not too sure about those...
They are nice, not as I imagined them to be. Never the less, I have been waiting for round tiles but, indeed square would look better. Maybe a complete new rear light assembly
That's exactly what I have planned when I get/build this set. I'd say go for blue
After some searching, I found this: 12V Train Motors. I don't have any 12V but, I did skim through this and it might provide some help. Best of luck and welcome to EB!
Good review 'Cpt. J'. This is on my wanted list but, man I must say, the helicopter and front of the SUV are very disappointing... The heli reminds me of a more complex Town Jr. bird and the SUV needs at least a grill. The rear break lights also don't really work for me either. There will definitely be some mods to this for me
Do we really need wives?
Pics would be great! White and brown wouldn't look bad but, gives me, personally, a country feel. Maybe light bluish grey and white? Not sure why but, that, to me, has a city look. Best of luck on your house.
Oh, and you said the basement will be special? Maybe have a Lego city built in?
Great set of new models 'Runamuck'. Big thumbs up to the Jag, Challenger, Police car, Camino, and the orange car! Too bad you have to take a break from building more. How many vehicles left in the game?
Awesome sport car 'ER0L'. Very close to a 308 GTS, the detail is excellent! I take it that was the inspiration? Keep up the great work, I hope to see another
Great MOC 'Kisvakond'. You really nailed the recreation of this little loco. So it has work PF lights? How did you hook these up. I run mainly 9V and want to add lights but, I thought it involved a battery box, which is what I'm trying to avoid. Keep on building
