    You are very welcome! Glad my work can be appreciated and replicated by others!

    I love your 0-6-0 Saddle Tank! Fantastic!

    This is finally back in stock at Lego online store, and I have mine on order. Two questions; Is there an LDD of this available anywhere? Secondly, can the silly wheels at the top be removed and that section of track replaced with a slight downslope to get the cars rolling instead? Thanks!

    I would love to see the new Airplane, 60262!

    Lol, he's right! Just replace that modified 1x1 brick with a 1x1 plate with a clip on top and voila! instant modernization!

    I like your train and all three trains that pass by! It's worth a look! I use compressed graphite on my bearings and switches (turnouts). Also I agree with you about the pressure on the end of the axle, so again I use graphite there also. That whole layout is impressive!

    Thanks for the bump! Indeed I find that tram to be very inspirational. I might find a way to stuff the old IR PF stuff in there and a train motor underneath.

    Very well done! Thanks for sharing!

    Fun video!

    That's because the pivot point on the truck is behind, not directly underneath the camera. In other words the camera is at the very end of the car. If it were in the middle (the truck in front of the camera) the camera would appear to turn into the corner, giving the opposite visual effect.

    I think it looks great! You did a good job closing up the back. I agree with others, add some appropriate accessories on the raised platform. Replace a dozen or so random tiles with 2x2 jumpers, and start sticking stuff and minifigs on there. Ideas will come quickly from there.

    If you look through some threads here you'll find a variety of creative layout solutions, large and small. Myself, I went small. Here's a link to my layout. Good luck with yours and start a new thread with lots of pics to keep us updated.

    Lots of great tips so far! I'll add, DON'T GIVE UP. I've designed many models in LDD and built them all with BL purchases. With hundreds of recent orders my experience is parts will cost $.10 on average and shipping $4 per order in the US. Your 2100 part loco should run $210 plus shipping plus motor and battery and PF gear. As stated above you need to do two things; substitute rare or expensive parts or colors and then shop wisely on BL. Good luck, you can do it!

    Wow, that's great progress! I really didn't mean for you to go to the extra effort of building another. The battery on it's side is an interesting idea.

    I love the look and the scale of these. Think I'll build some. My layout is PF the IR kind. Think the green engine with red chassis could fit it? What would you design for PF?

    Wow, wow, wow this is so full of awesomeness! Your recolor and changes to the depot look great. Everything looks great.

    Doesn't matter, go with buffers. I try to make my train realistic but I also decided to use only stock trucks and buffers on all my cars. They work great, look great and provide a degree of continuity from one car to the next.

    I pasted your model above to make it easier to look them over. I like your MOC! I like short train cars that are 6 studs wide. Only changes I would make would be make the connecting doors 2-3 plates taller and maybe replace that large under carriage section with some smaller, slightly more detailed touches to better represent the original. But I would totally run that car on as is on my layout!

    Great idea!

    Thanks! Let me know if you need more pics or help.

    Super cool! I run LGB under my tree each year and it takes a beating with kids and presents. I don't have the guts to do that with Lego. Good for you!

    Very nice work! I really love the detail some people put into their scenery. My budget and layout size limit what I can do. Your friend makes some nice prints! I won't be buying those 1x1's at $1usd each, but several others piqued my interest. For the record, the last two train bridges I walked, both in the last 12 months, the sleepers stuck out the sides like yours do. Honestly every train bridge I've walked has probably looked similar to yours. Keep up the good work.

    This look like a great idea! I'm going to give it a try.

    Very nice! I grew up in the burbs of west St.Louis, Chesterfield specifically. Been over to Alton many times. You're welcome to copy or modify my semi if you like. https://bricksafe.com/pages/sed6/lego-intermodal-shipping-container-crane-and-truck

    I would repair that by using a short popsicle stick to span the area the contact should be. I could affix a spring or something metal to the popsicle stick to make contact with the battery. Then solder a wire from the new spring to the backside of the tab it should go to. You could solder on that curved portion of the tab without melting the plastic. Good luck!
