Where does this winning train tag go? Is it what is above or below the avatar pic?

I love it! The full-sized Thomas comes to my town for two weekends every summer, so I'd love to have this one!

I agree. Those were my three faves. Not to take away from anyone else that entered. They were all great and creative! As soon as I receive my missing pieces (hopefully this week), I will complete my Maersk! Too bad it is too late to enter the contest!

I love the Mini Maersk. How about a parts list for it please?

Wow, love this! Especially instructions to build train cars! I am new to LEGO trains and customizing sets. Other than as a kid, I have only built actual sets. I really wanna build a few train cars to add to my new Maersk (yes, I know the style may not match).

I like it. My Dad's a retired mailman. I am surprised I haven't seen a US mailtruck before.

Well, I struck out at the LEGO store. They won't sell individual bricks. They will sell a cup of bricks for $8 but I did not see that brick available. I was hoping to have it completed today. Guess I will order the replacements from LEGO and sit and wait.

Yep, that layout worked great! Thanks! Now just need more track to make a real layout!

Back in November we were heading into Chicago and there was an engine on the tracks fully engulfed in flames along the Dan Ryan.

The pieces I am missing are from step 8 on page 62 of instruction book 1 and step 2 on page 63 of instruction book 1. Looks like those pieces need to be 6 long to span across a space as opposed to being filler in the middle somewhere.

I will give that a try tomorrow. I haven't opened my track yet. I just built my Maersk tonight. Thanks!

What can I do with only 24 curved track pieces? I know it takes 16 to make a circle. Can 24 make anything usable? Or will I just have a few extras until I get more track? Thanks!

I'd love to join in, but... It's 2:30am and I just finished building my Maersk (also my first LEGO train). I was shorted (2) 1x6 plates so I cannot complete the second wheel assembly on my engine. So, I can't post anything creative. I suppose if I had a little LEGO concrete block, I could put it on blocks in the front yard like a redneck Camaro!

Not so fun when you get to the final wheel assembly on the engine and find out you are missing (2) 1x6 plates. :( When my PF components arrive next week, will I even need the second wheel assembly? But yes, the truck is great! And the cargo containers look good too!

Well, I just finished assembling my Maersk Train. I am missing (2) 1x6 plates that go in the wheel assembly so my engine is not usable. I might be able to stop by a Lego store tomorrow. Do they even stock that piece in the pick-a-brick area? I have never bought bricks. My PF stuff gets here next week, so won't that replace one of the wheel assemblies anyway?
