    Just don't ever pee in the fountain at the same time as anyone else lol

    What are your rug tiles in the stained glass office from?

    All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy but all play and no work makes Jack a poor boy Spoilt Rich Brat. I don't think that rhymes very well lol

    You might check your local libraries. I know our local library system has a sharing option with local systems so if they don't have the book they may be able to get it?

    At risk of abuse about the head and ears for reviving older posts. I just wanted to say I had seen photos of this before and never knew the author. Last night I followed your instructions quite easily... Then added a few detail elements to an already great model. I wanted to thank you as well because I also re-created some of your station scenery which was a pleasant challenge. But mainly you gave me inspiration to design a "stove pipe" visible gas pump to go along with the Type 35. Excellent work and thank you for sharing this!

    Pffffttt who needs work when you have Lego? Oh yes that's right bills... Off to work I go lol

    There's slot of small details in this that really make this a great build. The building is simple enough but decorative from the street. The bellows is a nice feature as larger forges would have a bellows boy The workplace is very similar to old forges with multiple work stations. I like how you hammered the rounds flat, then the plain armor gets rivets and details. Even the testing area is great. The fact you included a musket prop is great! Nicely done indeed sir!

    Pink Floyd anyone? Lol were they not a worldwide released album? Or am I just too old?

    Honestly a 9v track "pickup" with a simple rectifier so the PF functions can run without a battery pack regardless of direction of travel would be a life saver at shows.

    When your rich and famous you'll send me a ticket to fly as well right? Lol

    But only the ones who strayed, or misbehaved, or were disrespectful ... Or those that didn't eat their meat....

    I understand this as I've had a few builds. Ultimately if someone really wants to recreate your stuff with a good idea of Lego system and stud counting you can really fill in slot of the blanks. I can say I've done this to a few designs out there (although taking a 8w design and making it 6w). There are some things we hold onto. I have a few ships that I don't share as I want to build them in brick first. There's nothing wrong with holding onto them just remember "imitation is the greatest form of flattery" I can only speak for myself on this one but I personally would love to see this zipping around my clubs layout lol

    So just took some time to really study your video.... I'm at a loss on your current design with your space limitations (previously was going off your ldd images). The only thing I can think of is maybe a Teflon oring from the hardware store?

    Would it be possible to use a larger plastic wheel to make up the difference?
  15. Roadmonkeytj
    Have you looked at this under black light yet? I think it would be amazing to set a black light in your light tube just to see.

    Congrats to all... This was a fun build and I look forward to next year's

    Back in the day it was commonplace to have nuns raise children.

    @sed6 I know this seems silly to ask but have you tried only running it with rubber on one side of the track? That should allow your other wheel to slip or spin faster... Might see some slowing on the corners where the rubber is the outer wheel... So I would try to keep it inside if possible.

    I noticed this on my 4-6-2 I relied on the side rods to keep them in line. Every once and a while I would get a strange chugging motion that I would have to power through. I increased the drive to power both flanged drivers and I've not noticed this anymore. True you may never notice this effect on your shelf but if you ever do run it at a show the uneven tables can make the problem evident. I personally do not have a layout of my own... Just a unimpressive test loop of track. But I do run my trains at events on club layouts. As far as the cost... You can set your price caps on parts and get them lower when ordering through brick link. You may still wind up with a 200 dollar loco though lol.

    Lol I would second this ... The gearing seems quite simple on this one... Are you just driving one axle or are there multiple "drivers"
  21. Roadmonkeytj
    Nice little build... Great story add on lol
  22. Roadmonkeytj
    This is sharp I love it's simple design!
  23. Roadmonkeytj
    I wish I had your time to dedicate to drawing lol... It always amazes me that you crank these out so fast. I spent 12 hrs 30-60 min at a time and only have half the progress lol Saying that though. The stand in wheels will you be ordering or printing them? The bricks Translate well honestly. It looks fairly close to me (I'm sure there are rivets missing lol) it looks as if you built this 8w what does that bring the valve gear and rods to overall? Any chance so see where you hid all the goodies in it?
  24. Roadmonkeytj
    I really like the direction your going with this.
  25. Roadmonkeytj
    Nesting brickheads very nice lol
