  1. Thanks! I have read about the real USS Hornet's exploits at the battle of Midway and named my ship after her. Here is a shot of the Hornet with landing legs extended and hangar door open: USS_Hornet_4 by the chestertonian, on Flickr The hangar bay can accommodate two FS-42 Yellow Jacket fighters.

  2. The flagship of the US Space Force, the USS Hornet patrols the trans-lunar region and provides protection for commercial mining activities on the moon. While she is primarily a battle cruiser for ship-to-ship combat, the Hornet can also serve as an orbital weapons platform, making her a powerful deterrent to hostile actors on the ground.

The yellow windows are supposed to be a subtle tribute to classic space. Thanks for looking! Soli Deo Gloria
  3. Well, I just broke the 10th commandment (Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's trains)! That's an incredible layout - it's a testament to those 12V- and 9v- era trains that they still look great running alongside more modern sets.
  4. I don't know which color is the most fragile, but I remember from one of my college courses that black ABS is tougher than other colors because it contains more butadiene. So I would expect black pieces to be the "springiest." Perhaps the dyes in dark red and reddish brown contribute to the breaking?
  5. Thanks to JopieK and ColletArrow for the feedback. I hope this link to the .lxf file works: https://bricksafe.com/pages/Pdaitabird/ Here is a view showing the backhead and a cattle car. Narrow Gauge Engine 2-1 by kevin brackett, on Flickr Due to the method of coupling (a simple chain), I decided to go with two shortened buffers on each end. I would love to see someone build, and hopefully figure out how to motorize, this engine in real bricks! Soli Deo Gloria
  6. It's fantastic to see such a detailed creation using older parts - the engine is immediately recognizable as a classic BR diesel!
  7. Hello to all! I just joined Eurobricks and wanted to share this little LDD MOC. It's a narrow gauge saddle tank loco with a color scheme inspired by Bill and Ben from The Railway Series. Including the driver and tracks, it uses exactly 200 bricks. I would like to include the LDD file in this post, but I'm not sure how - if someone could point me to a tutorial for uploading .lxf files, it would be greatly appreciated!

  8. Greetings to all! I've been perusing the Eurobricks forums for a couple of years now, and finally decided to join. I'm strictly an LDD builder for the time being. In case you're wondering, my profile name is an obscure reference to my favorite author.
