Thanks for all the tips. Here is pictures of the engine with redesigned bone side rods. Also the front wheels Can now turn a full 360 if need be http://www.brickshel...ss_engine_1.png http://www.brickshel...ss_engine_2.png http://www.brickshel...ss_engine_3.png http://www.brickshel...ss_engine_4.png Also you guys are free to play around with the design of the engine if you have any ideas on how to make it work better That is why there is an Lxf file for the engine. Though with the new pic the gallery is no longer public so it will be a while for it to approve. I'm also a huge fan of trains. I've just never owned a lego train cause I don't have the money to spend or the space for the track atm.

Eris having her chest armor upside down actually makes sense to me. To me it gives her a more feminine appearance. Laval having his upside down is just a mistake. Razar looks better that ever. Though his chest armor is upside down as well. Worriz looks just as good Gorzan hasn't changed but I'd like to know how his torso is constructed since its different that how The Hulk's and Stormer Xl's torso was built. Though I'm guessing a build similar to Furno Xl's Torso was built Craggar still looks good though I wonder why his weapon has a chain on it. Also I wonder if his head has a poseable jaw. Still only getting Laval and Razar. Laval for the gold. Razar cause I really like him.

The front wheels of the engine are designed to turn. As for the bone shaped side rods. It attaches in Ldd so It might be able to run. I don't own any trains so this is only an idea. If someone could maybe test this with the emerald night then we can see if it will work.

Ok but those parts the battery and the train motor don't yet exist in Ldd. But what do you think of the train design.

Battery box goes in the coal car right behind the engine. Think of the emerald night's power functions but with the engineer's cockpit still having detail hence the use of the train motor. How would I be able to control it with a IR controller and reciever

Hey I'm new to the train topic. I was wondering if you guys would rate my custom train I built in Ldd. I want to know if it would work in real life on real track. Along with anything I could do to improve the design such as using fewer pieces. It would be motorized with 88002 power functions train motor and 88000 power functions AAA battery box. Here is a link to the Brickshelf gallery for all the pictures. (The gallery is public. Gallery also contains Lxf files for the train.) http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=497660

This is how I have my lego sorted. I used drawers Large drawers Lego Bricks Bionicle armor,torsos, and stuff Medium Drawers Lego Plates Bionicle Heads Bionicle Weapons Bionicle Launchers Bionicle Ball joints Miscelanious (large baseplates, Xpod containers Large pieces) Bionicle Socket joints Hero Factory bones, Torso, and feet Hero Factory Armor and Armor add on Hero Factory Heads, Helmets, Hands, Weapons and Launchers Small drawers Technic connectors Technic beams Wheels of all kinds Gears and bushings Pins Axles Minifigures and accessories Doors windows and vehicle parts Kinghts kingdom joints and ball connector bricks and ball socket bricks Very small Projectiles (Zamor, Kanoka, Cordak etc. Flex tubing and rubber bands. Its a very good system I use. I can find parts easier. Though searching for parts in my bricks and plate drawers is still a bit tricky.

These two parts need to be in more colors This part only comes in white. It is a very very useful piece. Having it in more colors would be awesome http://www.bricklink...tem.asp?P=85861 This part only comes in brown. It is a very very useful piece. Having it in more colors would be awesome http://www.bricklink...tem.asp?P=10288 Quick edit there are some Hero Factory parts I want in new colors as well The multi tool ice shield in, Breez green Surge blue and Rocka gold http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=92202 And the new style of hands in Rocka gold http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=93575
