The holy grail....!!! When will the instructions come out...?

DONT DO THAT !! Those rails are far more expensive and rare that the normal ones. Why dont you just buy some on Bricklink.com ??

Amazing...! Have you ever thought about making instructins for those locomotives?

Holy s... !!! These are "must own" items !!

Sorry, I dont have the parts for the moment. I have had the issue you are talking about with train base (BL 2972) and the old 12V wheels (BL 4180c01). The Problem is, that when going around standard corners, the bogeys turn to such a degree that the inner wheels' flanges will tuch/hit/scrape the buttom vertical wall of the train base. That introduces a braking action(almost blocking) to the wheels. The result is power problems when cornering and decoupling.

Yes thank you, I got all my stuff in time for christmas.....-this year! Thats true, nothing like 80' bricks Now I need to get Capt. Slow and Hamster.... Thats a good question. No one actually know.......

I would not recommend the Emerald Night (EN). For a first time train buyer I think you will be dissapointed. IMO the EN looks unfinnished with only 1-2 passenger cars. Out of the box you have 2/3 engine with tender and then only 1/3 stockcars..... You would need to spend a lot of money to get more passenger cars. Remember the colours of that beautiful engine...... Then there is that dredfull grey PF XL motor that will fill out the entire cap. IMO that does NOT look nice. And you will have that grey batt.box sticking out of the tender. EN is a beautifull lego train model. No question about it! But for now I have yet to see a powered MOC of it that is both functional and true to its look. I would have it only as a "cold" train on a layout. I would recommend a 9V steam train (ex. 10205) if you want that look. For a newer look go for 7938 or 7939 or an RC train. Best of luck!

I cant wait...! Hope you have these http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=69482 aswell.....

Ehh, yrp. The rest of the parts are safely locked away, garded by hired professionals....

hehe

Indexed by Moderator - Merry Christmas! Merry christmas to you all. I needed a christmas train for our christmas tree. So I dismantled my 7740 and came up with this little MOC. Cheers

I would like to see that.

Hi again. Just wanted to know if there was anything new with the sticker printing.....?

I think you are right. Also the batterybox once again kills the finish of the model. As seen on the locomotive, it is impossible to hide it on a 4 stud wide model. Get those PF out of the trains LEGO!

Original...!? No, the true 7740 super fan will quickly notice the 9V bogeys and motor, and the front lights are clear white and not yellow. What have you done... -
