    These are quite appealing ... The smooth lines translate well ... Its a shame they used this train part on airplanes hahaha

    Very true but i think the dutch influence spreads through all nations in bobs

    Searat ships would be a mix of all as any nationality is welcome and many of our ships are prizes The way i see our ships is Cor more british influence ESL more spanish style and OL is clearly heavily influenced by the french.

    Im late to the game here but space is the main concern in this area . The 9v method is easy enough ... Ive never had a 9v connector wear out ... Unless corroded or the brick snaps due to mishandling. I honestly love this solution ... For this simple reason alone. You can leave an empty wire and self wire or you can provide 9v,pf,pu adaptors on request. On the release of the any lego unit these would be great for coach power. Long game I think a method using the axle style so you can plug them into custom creations would be good. The product as is I would buy. My lug runs 9v but I build my trains pf to run on any layout. I could include this wheelset and run on batteries when on other layouts.

    This looks good but sadly its the wrong era for me

    I really like this alot ... One thing I would build to go with this is an unload pit. So the cars can dump then a conveyor takes it underground into the elevator then you can use a lift conveyor to pull it out of the pit up to your main conveyor.

    Thanks this is a impressive layout

    I like it ... Actually confirms a styling I was considering but didnt know if it would look good. The hearingbone mason work even though large looks good

    I really like the brown swiss ... Unfortunately my rail line offers no electric service but i may borrow your car design for another project .... Well done ... They look good in brick

    I like this one Kwatchi ... Simple execution while maintaining elegance ...if you would not have said anything about the sails I would have thought it was intentional

    What about using the telescope piece with a tile top ... Its the same height ... I can give you a picture of my observation car later tonight if you like ... I used that method abd it looks swell

    Unless you go full out automation i dont see you getting away from constant monitoring ... Ive seen large layouts with only two trains running have issues that you need to interveine However running 12v you can use block sensors and DCC control from the non lego scale model trains ... Theres several good posts on here about DCC in lego trains

    How are you accomplishing the doors ... Just a 1/2 stud offset and static bricks? I like the overall look to the train ... The solid rear of the observation gets me as usually these were deco iron railings. Are you planning on motorizing pf,pu,9v?

    Are we turning a new brick in physical builds? Its a great lil smithy the roof reminds me of the old tar roofs

    This is a nice one ... Hats off to that test fire shot lol... I really like the spotting tower as well But arent they wearing the wrong uniforms and in the wrong settlement? Lol

    She would only be able to be moored @LM71Blackbird I like the execution on this one ... The sails are always impressive but theres alot of nice details in this. I feel it fits the later part of the age of sail
  19. Roadmonkeytj
    This is magnificent ... Love the details and the chain door
  20. Roadmonkeytj
    Would it alarm you if I told you these were all built in a matter of hours ... Lol yes I intentionally left the background blank or drab to keep the focus on the minifigs ... Also to let your imagination fill in the blanks. Glad you liked the story ... It was spun in several pms to explain the MCRA result.

    I too would love that tutorial lol

    After reviewing these three pages ... Im sold take my money now ... I have to have boxcars. Congrats to all the builders in this thread ... These are impressive ... I think I actually recognised a few of them from Brickworld too lol.
  23. Roadmonkeytj
    Very awesome how it its speed/traction using this method
  24. Roadmonkeytj
    Your welcome ... So Im examining your running gear photo ... Does the motor turn the essentric to move the rods which turn the wheels or am I missing a gear connected to one of the wheels?
  25. Roadmonkeytj
    This is a clever little train .. I love the side rods and the whole look
