    Incredible, I have looked in on this thread for many years and have followed your progress but apparently it has been awhile. I have always enjoyed the mechanisms you create for your clocks but these beauties are just simply incredible, very well done sir, it is good to see others share your enjoyment.

    The price on the Harbor freight train, suggests to me it is not motorized. I only hope there is a significant train and not a crane with a small train build. Really looking forward to seeing it none the less.

    This is absolutely stunning, so much planning and implementation, just an incredibly cool mechanism. All that and the design and looks are simply amazing, would look good in any setting. Hats off to you sir. What's even better is the inspiration to build a similar mechanism, for that I thank you.

    Those new track pieces are larger than I had originally thought, thanks for the pictures. I wonder if that curve is the same as train track? Looks like excellent monorail track.

    I had to really think about this for a couple of days, after picking up on it in the OP, for me this is what brought me out of a 40 year dark age, ultimately. I basically got away from LEGO in the mid 70's because snot building was rather limited yet I made a lot of helicopters studs forward. It literally took 40 years for me to notice, hey look I can build sideways now, lol.

    When I first saw this I immediately thought, so they just took the guts out of Mario and put them in a brick. Not sure of all the capabilities of this smart brick but it sure seems like a spin off of the Mario technology.

    Those studs on the tire rim were integral to me building snot helicopters way back in the 70's, when I was first discovering LEGO. Without it the props wouldn't spin, can't have that. Edit: Also remember putting gears on them as well. Back then all I had was basic blocks and slopes, with a few windows, doors, wheels and gears.

    Well first reaction, I like this set, loco looks okay, crossing arms and a helicopter.

    Sometimes the cylinders become a bit slow, I often find if I just physically run them in and out through their full range of motion a few times, they will work a little more smoothly and a bit faster.

    What a beast, very well done, a real inspiration for me, really impressed with the technical aspects.

    Lol, can't complete the poll because I stubbornly refuse to answer number 3.

    Weird response after the passage of so much time. Did any of this ever pan out?

    You can remove corrosion off the metal rods with some super fine steel wool and a bit of gentle elbow grease, worked for me.
  14. Johnny1360
    Nice work on the scale, so cool to see them getting even smaller, looks like fun to drive as well.
  15. Johnny1360
    Good to see you making progress, it always strikes me oddly that everytime I check into this thread, we seem to be working on the same set. I always gain some inspiration after reading of your struggles as I also have some issues with assembly. Thanks for being you.
