Hi so yes, I am currently living in the USA, but I was born in the UK and like half of me is Swedish, so I'm pretty much European, which is way I build from that region. I live in NJ, so there aren't many close LTC's near me, and I'm too busy to attend sadly. So, I do not plan to build another at the moment, because I'm low on parts. I like to build all kinds of trains. But trains aren't my main passion, I'm much bigger into aviation, the main reason I like trains is because I think there pretty cool, and also because my brother works for General Electric. I'm mainly just building this for fun, and it helps relieve stress. But it will probably be my last big Lego project, at least for the next few years, because soon I will be learning and most likely failing to fly planes.
also here is the post from Ashi's topic
So, I designed this in real bricks. I am currently waiting on some orders from brick link and LEGO direct, which should get here in a few weeks. I also have changed the colors of the flirt into a blue and white MAV H-Start theme. I haven't had much time lately due to my calculus teacher giving me so much work (why???) so I can't do the snot doors yet.
Specs of the train:
-In total its 148 studs long, around 4 feet Ish.
-8 wide
-11 bricks and 1 plate tall excluding the pantograph.
-motorized with LEGO POWERED UP
-One motor at one end (another on the way
- and can navigate normal r40 Lego track and normal stock switches.
-In newer MAV color scheme
Again, thanks for the replies, have an amazing day!
