What the heck is going on in Snottingen? The Bahndamm Drive is just finished and immeadetly the yellow-citizens doing fun rides just there. What a scandal! Do they have noting better to do? Today is a veried day for Operator Klaus Schrankenkurbler! Something's going on at his railroad crossing and Klaus feels like operating the world domination console. A few hours ago Jacqueline from the Stadtwache has set up her radar trap type "Blitz-Dings"* near the noise protection wall. Several dreamy cardrivers already catched by the trap. Just now Jacqueline has stopped a very fast scooter and she's handing out "the mother of all speeding tickets". Exactly 9 0'clock and 3 minutes. The train from Cross-Axleton is passing the rail crossing. Thanks god Snottingen Railways don't have to fight the four big enemys of Deutsche Bahn: Spring, Summer, Autum and Winter. In Bricks-Gau the weather is always cloudless an sunny. Today they drive the "Old Emerald" instead of using a newer diesel engine. Familiar friends of Klaus waiting at the track barrier. Joe returns from the excavations of the archaeologists and Max Klebermann wants to go to the advertising column next to the crossing. Klaus wonder what kind of posters will be pasted today... As soon as the train hass passed Klaus opens the barriers and traffic starts rolling. But what happens now? Jack "the chopper" Beilschleifer strikes again! The wonderful big spruce now lies across the railway tracks... What a mess! Klaus alerts the fire department, helps himself to big mug of hot chocolate and then he'll do a nap after all this confusion. Hopefully the'll have removed the spruce from the tracks until the 01-15 train arrives... Statistics Oh ... my ...god! I don't really know how many parts this MOC have. It must be around 5200 over all. Additional the Emerald Night, Joes yellow vintage truck, Billposter Max and Jacqueline with her Blitz-Dings*. I've created the MOC in November and December 2015 with LEGO LDD and built it in July and August 2016. The barriers works and lights also. All steered by power functions. You can see it in the movie below. The driver motor is placed in the electrical room below Klaus' operation room an linked to the barriers with cross axles and gears. The last centimeters of the way to the barriers i've used a rubber belt for saving space. For putting the cables thru the lamp post, i've made a 2mm hole with a very very long drill. :-) Link to the movie on Flickr. *The german word for the MIB neuralizer.

This is a really great MOC! Simple Setup, clear lines, excellent colors. With a little bigger Baseplate (32x32) it will perfectly fit in every modular town.

Huge LEGO®-bricks dropped off over Snottingen. A little bit like "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs" A ride in the Bricks Brickolision Site Bricknic See more Images on Flickr.

When world war ends grandfather Karl snached a howitzer from the army and hide it in the basment of the bakery. After the war he carefully tuned the gun for using bakery equipment on operation. Today it uses high pressurized flour-dust as propellant and has a sparkeler-ignition for the jute-bag-combustion-chamber. The howitzer is able to shoot a 2.4kg Pie up to 12 kilometers, but only if the pie ist frozen! The air friction during the flight of the pie guaranteed a fresh and unfrozen pie at impact. The sugar bomb have full effect on up to 16 combatants on a bulls eye shot. The enemys can be admittet to hospital with a full sugar shock after such a hit. Schrippenkneters discover, that best ammo is "Black Forrest gateau". The traditional "Frankfurter Kranz" is not suitable because of the hole in the middel of the pie, even if the buttercream-pie have enormous calorie-fed at impact. The flour-dust propellant can't generate it's full power to the pie and the distance of the shot is unconvincing. Right now grandfahter Karl is developing a device for using coffee in jugs as ammo. This morning the team Schrippenkneter does a maneuver at the Bricks shore and the complete team is on duty. Alois has baked several pies last evening and put them in the fridge. Traniee Tim have to learn operating the howitzer. Someone have to hitting the nail on the head of the evil Heinrich Torfmangel in the future! 3 ... 2 ... 1 ... Fire!

Friday near Feierabend by Filius Rucilo on Flickr This shitty machine! Georg Muffenkrimper is very angry about the broken washing machine in the basement of Hildegard Tastengaukler. Only 3 minutes left until end of work (Feierabend) and the machine dosen't work. The people responsible for build in this whole electronic mess into washing machines should be shoot to the moon...

A really great building with an lovely color scheme. (Except of the pink... ) Is the grand piano taken from Masao Hidaka?

Hey Dudes! These are LEGO-System-Pianos! For transportation they will be take apart and build up at destination location again. So stairs are no problem! I want to mention that the pianos are taken from the amazing .

I keep all my MOCs for building a complete city.

The beauty and the scrap by Filius Rucilo on Flickr Carefully Captain Norbert Palstek navigates the Evita in direction Snotting Lock. His beauty lies deep in the water of the Bricks*. Aboard are 1000tons cellulose acetate scrap for the recycling plant in Cross-Axtelton. Soon the Evita arrives in Cross-Axtleton and the the cargo will be unloaded. *Bricks, the - River nearby Snottingen steering house by Filius Rucilo on Flickr With a smile the captain observe seaman Hans Seegang while he fights against a seagull.

The nimble Max Klebermann is responsible for poster advertising and fascade cleaning in Snottingen. To get alongside all places he has bought a hydraulic lift "Giraffee" in wonderful bright yellow. The Snottigen firefighters are very jealousy. They also want such a thing! With his lift Max is able to reach third floor for cleaning windows or pasting posters. Like his buddy Joe (the men with the 1930's yellow vintage truck from the Reichspost... ) he also has a faible for old cars. So ist's no wonder that Max uses his 1961 UNIMOG for towing the lift. Max is very busy! Two weeks ago there was the Octan Motor-Oil Campain, last week the advertising for ER0L Cruises and this week "Palixa and the Bricks" are in town again. Concert posters has to be pasted on every advertising column or construction aera fence. There's much to do in Snottingen these days... Find more images on flickr...

Have look on this little movie, wich explains the wirering of the train:

An here it is! The entire train: Do the whole train! by Filiue Rucilo on Flickr

Sorry, i've not yet made photos of the entire train.

I've build a clubcar for my modded 60051 train. For sure - not the first one of it's kind but a nice addition for the train. The MOC consists of 335 parts. The overall lenght of my 60051 train is now 1.89 meters. :-) Clubcar for LEGO 60051 Highspeed Train by Filius Rucilo on Flickr Clubcar for LEGO 60051 Highspeed Train by Filius Rucilo on Flickr More Photos you can find on my flickr album

Eiscafé Rialto by Filius Rucilo on Flickr Maria and Ernesto Candagio are from Calabria and emerged in 1960 to Snottingen. The italian people helps to make the economic miracle came true and normally all the emigrants works at the LWM-factory in Cross-Axleton. Instead of doing factory work the Candagios take over the old house in Bricksuferstraße for an icecream parlor. The House was cheap and they had no money... Eiscafé Rialto by Filius Rucilo on Flickr Eiscafé Rialto by Filius Rucilo on Flickr Unfortunally Candagios have no childern and that's very sad for italian people. So all childern of Snottingen became "their" children. Ernstos Grandfather already was a icecream man in Calabria which made all childrens happy. And so Candagios does in Snottingen today! Every year, end of march, a big icecream test takes place in the parlor and every child is invited. In the winter month's Candagios travelling back to italy and when they're back to Snotting in spring they have the latest ice recipes which have to be tested on their main customers. Only what's liked by the children find the way into the waffle! Over the years Ernesto and Maria have transformed the house into a veritable gem. The great ice-parlor on the ground floor has a glazing which can fully opened when the weather becomes sunny and the big Appleoak in the garden always spend a nice shadow. It's a lovely place for an iced coffee or a Rialto-Special sundae. That's doce vita italiano and grandpa Ludwig or Captain Norbert knows that exactly... the captain is quite impatient waiting for his ice. Eiscafé Rialto by Filius Rucilo on Flickr Eiscafé Rialto by Filius Rucilo on Flickr Eiscafé Rialto by Filius Rucilo on Flickr On second floor is dental office of Dr. med. dent. Rudolph Wurzelbohrer (Rootdriller ;-) The Office is complet with al waitung room, an assitant office and a dentit chair. In this moment Dr. Wurzelbohrer does an extraction. Thanks god the windows are closed so nobody in the garden can hear the screams. On the opposite of the second floor is Susi's photo studio. It's so small that it is more like a photo booth. Susi's studio is open three days a week. On the other days Susi's takes photos for the Snottinger Tageblatt newspaper. Eiscafé Rialto by Filius Rucilo on Flickr Eiscafé Rialto by Filius Rucilo on Flickr In the third floor is the small flat of the candagios with a big kitchen, a couch and TV and a bed.

After a few last minute changes I don't know the amount exactly. The parts are from 6 european countrys and it needs 12 orders at bricklink to obtain them. Planning: October 2013 to march 2014 Build: july 2014 Order and build time: 8 weeks. The "Appleoak" is inspired by the beautiful trees of Paul Toxopeus. The Eiscafé Rialto is placed in the Brickufer-Block back to back with Hugos Oldtimer-Klinik and the DPD Pickup shop. I apologize my terrible english. Suggestions are always welcome.

Today i'd like to present the last car in a series i've build for a exhibition in summer 2015: The LMW (LEGO Motor Works) WB 1.8i. The MOC has 196 parts and one Minifigure. Family Car by Filius Rucilo on Flickr Family Car by Filius Rucilo on Flickr See more photos on my Flickr Album

I considered to take a grey cable. Thats available also. But then i decided to take the colored cables. That helps avoiding wrong connections.

I've modded two 60051 trains to one train with longer cars (chassis 92339), driving engines on both heads and forward/backward driving lights. The lights are made by dividing a cable type 8886 in two pieces and soldering duo-leds on the cabels: 60051 wiring plan by Filius Rucilo, on Flickr for plug in the second engine i've made a cable which doing two things. First providing power thru the train (about 1.5 meters...), second swapping signaling lines C1/C2. So the switch type 8869 is obsolete and i have a very slim cable solution in place compared to original PF connectors. See my video on Flickr: Highspeed Passenger Train by Filius Rucilo on Flickr

Hi drew, i do the stickers by myself. It's a typical plate for vintage cars in germany. The H at the end stands for historical.

Joe delivers everything! He has combined his passion for vintage cars and his job as trucker. With his Truck form the German Reichspost (build in 1930) he transports goods overall in Snottingen. Today he supplies a group of archeological scientists outside the city with food, tools and fuel. Yellow Vintage Truck by Filius Rucilo on Flickr Yellow Vintage Truck by Filius Rucilo on Flickr Build in Spring 2015, this MOC contains 179 parts and one Minifigure. See more pictures on Flickr.
