Thank you for your answers. I plan to buy 65098 and bricklink an Emerald Night in black.

Hello, until now I was mostly in Technic and Creator, but I am interested more and more in Lego train universe (which I find awesome the more I read about it and discover some awesome MOcs). Within the Lego train universe this is the steam engines that fascinate me. I would like to build one (and probably more I presume :)) but I wonder myself about the best way to start. Considering that I will not have the room space to create a rail tracks bigger than a train city set. This is the engine building and modelling that appeals me, in the same time I would like to have a MOC steam engine able to run on a track, in case of. - Buy some City set to have PF train motor (really useful for steam engine, comparing to building technics involved in Emerald Night for example ?), proportionnal remote and some train tracks (I already have IR receptor and battery box from my Technic sets) and buy additional parts to build a steam engine ? - Buy all the parts I need form Bricklink : some tracks, proportional remote, and all wheels and bricks needed ? I missed Emerald Night set, set 10183 is out of budget, and I am not sure that a train City set is very useful; but on the opposite I would not want to miss an opportunity to but 60098 train at 110€ if it is an useful traiin parts source in steam universe perspective. Thank in advance for your insights. Frederic

Hello forums members and lego fans ! My name is Frederic, i am born in 1975 et started play Lego in 1979 with a universal set. Until around 1990 I played mostly Castle, Classic Space and Technic with my young brothers, with a heavy tendancy on MOC, supported by the fact that we have a limited number of bricks but a wide range of thematic spectrum. All the Lego's glory : creativity. And then came the Dark Age. In 2011 my wife and me were seeking a gift for nephew, in the toy store I had like a flash, a urge to came back to these little bricks of creativity. My dark age ended. Since 2011 I discovered the new Technic studless system, bought some sets, along with some Creator sets I found awesome (Sopwith Camel to name a few). At the moment I relearn to build with Lego, especially with all these new parts (there are a lot !). I would like to MOC, mostly cars, but the train theme slightly but surely comes in mind these times. I hope I could show you some good MOCs in the future. Frederic
