Thanks for the reply. I'm also taking requests for remakes for older sets that are hard to come by, but things like colors and pieces changed to make necessary. I'm working on an remake of 7740 right now, but with a modern color scheme.*y* .
For those who still need to get into trains before the Power Functions come into play, or just want to add a bit more rolling stock to their rails, they can pull up shop here!
First up, we have what every railroad needs: a Steam Engine!
Price: $30USD
Box cars are necessary for a railroad! The door's can even open!
Price: $30USD
The Brake van can be placed at the end of a freight train, and carry letters.
Price: $25USD
This type of passenger car could be used on small branch line.
Price: $25USD?
Instead of buying a bunch of these at once, why don't you buy a Starter Set? Includes an exclusive BLUE Tanker car and station platform!
Price: $130USD
I'll post links to them and more LDD models soon ;-)
I personally like them, as they're easier to produce than the larger missiles, they don't hurt as much, and they're starting to improve on the design. *y*
First off, How long are you going to have it outdoors? A day, a week, or the whole year?
Second, what's the climate in your area like?
You can easily take care of any weeds growing in the area with weed killer, and then plant new flowers and bushes :-P . I know this stuff, I have one too(not lego, LGB)
I think they're worst decision would have to be either World City or flesh tones. Now don't go on and say World city was good, because the ONE good thing that came out of it was the trains. I personally hated their police theme, as it looked very unrealistic, and only a few of their set were brilliant IMO.
