Cool! What's it do?

OcTRAINber 2019: Cartoon Train - Casey Jr.
Modeltrainman replied to Daedalus304's topic in LEGO Train Tech
This is amazing! I like that you got a moving smokestack on him, something I couldn't do in mine. -
I can't make an account either, and nearly made a thread here and on Brickset to ask.

Minifig scale oil can and brakeman's lantern
Modeltrainman replied to zephyr1934's topic in LEGO Train Tech
Oh, wow! I wanted an engineer CMF for a lantern like that! -
@Pdaitabird is correct. One broke in my hand,(stress, I guess) so while I suppose it doesn't matter, old parts ARE expensive...

@zephyr1934, thank for the advice! The pin on one 4025 snapped in half, so I wasn't sure, and wanted to be safe. For sake of not taking anymore chances, I put 1x2s on each end of the 3079s to give the pin movement freedom on all the wheelsets. @jamesed_1971 Thanks, looking for replacements, now!

So, here's probably a confusing question. 4025 (4x6 train bogie plate is no longer made in black, that I can tell. At least B&P never has it. For my bogies on the cars Casey Jr. pulls, I'm using those, with the pins clicked into 2x 3709 for each bogie. Am I stressing the pins doing that? Should I be mounting the wheelsets another way? I guess I could use turntables. Advantages, disadvantages?

The Disney Train will be my only 8 wide.

For this entry, I was inspired by old 'candied' pickups, and hotrods. I figured merging the two would be fun. I wanted to try the new 1x1 with rounded top, and I'm pleased with the result. This one seats two minifigs, but I had to hit requirements, and a pickup needs a bed.

Thanks @pooda!

One of my entries for the Build a Classic Car contest on LEGO Ideas, an old blue car, seats 4.

How about a cargo terminal? With train car, track, helicopter, jet, delivery truck? And a library, with books, CDs, video games, movies, desktops for internet browsing, a librarian, and a cat who inexplicably decides to make noise, much to the librarian's chagrin.

Yeah, I think it extends to religion/faith. What would be interesting(because LEGO Ideas mentions it) would be to see someone try to submit something based on Disney's Hunchback of Notre Dame.

@pooda, While I'd welcome it, I think it'd run afoul of LEGO's policy.

They aren't the flashiest, but I've been sharing instructions here. They're free, though. Not paid. https://forum.brickset.com/discussion/30512/modeltrainmans-free-instructions#latest

Is LEGO getting to inaffordable for kids?
Modeltrainman replied to Lego David's topic in General LEGO Discussion
Fortunately, Powered Up has a few options on Windows, but agreed about Hidden Side. At least those will always parts. -
I'd love to see a non powered steam passenger train. Something small. Maybe a 2-6-0.

[MOC] Stranger Things Season 3 - The creature in the hospital
Modeltrainman replied to KevFett2011's topic in LEGO Licensed
Wow! Small yet detailed. Never seen the show,but the atmosphere is neat. The tilted IV pole is nice! -
What would you do if your minifigs came alive?
Modeltrainman replied to SheepEater's topic in Community
I'd give them hugs, even with just my pinky finger and thumb... -

Currently waiting on parts to improve the smokestack. And elephant car.
