Hi LEGO Train enthusiasts,
I originally opened a topic in the Town theme but it seems to belong more here so I add this train-specific topic too.
To recap:
I started this topic to collect and share my creations. I plan to have only this one topic for all of them, and I will ad them gradually.
About my build style:
- It fits the current City line style and proportions
- I value simple and effective design more over small details achieved by a high number of bricks
- Therefore I am not againts special parts applied at the right places
- LEGO apparently tries to optimize for best result with the least number and kinds of parts, so do I, but I allow myself more freedom
- I even allow myself using out-of-production parts that are not really replaceable or I just find them most appropriate
- Creations should be robust and playable
- I also like adding features to official LEGO creations, even with slight modifications
I would like to start with an Own Creation which should be a shunter/switcher engine resembling the classic 7760 but restyled with more curves, with PF rechargable battery, IR receiver, two lights (4 LEDs), PF train motor all compressed into a rather small place. As I value playability I just had to make room for the driver, otherwise it could have been smaller. Easy PF reconfiguration and switch on/off is also important so it is implemented.

(Sorry for the background, I will find better soon)
I will ad some more creations soon as soon as brickshelf makes them public.
