    It ought to be possible to re-jig this to 6 wide. I might have a go myself. All those parts in those colours for about £100 is still tempting.

    I agree with all the above comments. Really impressive models. The green and yellow flexible hose is a clever touch.

    My preordered Classic Beach Tram #60506 and Vintage Steam Train #60511 arrived this morning! I've already built the tram, I'm going to have a go at motorising it with PuP. It looks very possible, although you would have to lose some passenger seats to make room for the hub. I'll try and do it using only parts from the set (apart from the hub and train motor of course!). I'm saving the Vintage Steam Train for my birthday in a few weeks, but I had a look at the instructions. The bit on motorising that does not come with the printed instructions, there is a QR code you scan to download an alternative book 4 to build the tender differently to accommodate the motor and hub. Or you can download it from the lego.com Building Instructions page for 60511. The loco stays the same.

    Very clever parts usage, especially on the Opel. The transition from 4-wide bonnet to 5-wide body is clever, and the use of stacked saucers for the radiator grill is genius. Never seen so much NPU!

    If you have made this change then it has not fixed this particular issue as far as I can see. I listed all unread content, no Train Tech items listed, then went to the Train Tech forum and there were 3 unread items. It's not a major issue, the forum works well overall for me for which I thank you.

    I don't want to hijack this thread, but ref imgur now I know it is a UK only problem I found a free chrome extension that uses the duckduckgo proxy to display imgur hosted images seamlessly. There are similar extensions to other browsers like firefox. Bit easier than using VPN.

    I second that!

    I didn't realise it was only UK. Still annoying though.

    Preferably not imgur as some regions cannot see them. Flickr is also free to use for less than 1000 images.

    You can't blame TLG for building sets that sell. There are plenty of "pre-car era" Technic sets on eBay or Bricklink, not to mention alt builds and Rebrickable, that I want to build and haven't got around to yet. It'll be a while before I run out of those, and in reality given my age I don't suppose I ever will.

    The icing on the cake to see it running so well IRL at a show. Much admiration for your design skills and attention to detail.

    Congratulations on getting this wonderful and technically sophisticated train running so well on standard Lego track. Your perseverance is to be admired!

    Great model with a lot of attention to detail. If you ever built it, I'm guessing a 4-car set would be quite heavy (let's not mention the cost!) and would required a few motors.

    This is a cross-posting from General Parts Discussion, where the pictures are better. It's interesting but we don't need to see it twice. :-)

    I like these "imagined" locomotives, kind of steam punk but in vibrant colours! I guess you use imgur for your pictures ( I get "content not viewable in your region" messages) but the YouTubes work fine. As you say it does fly around those R88 curves.
