    Very nice, how do they empty? They look a bit like the hopper wagon from set 4564 or the hopper wagon 10017.

    It would be great if LEGO were to produce small trains like these.

    I find the image to be too black to make out the detail of the model. It is a fantastic model but it is hard to see it clearly. I haven't used the software so I can't give any advice. I could hardly make out there was a description sign.

    I'm an 'old timer' and I still use Track Designer. Here is my design - trying to follow your instructions and fit on a 1.2 x 2.4m board. As you can see there is a small 'gap' in the track 0- but is shouldn't matter. It is not very 'L' shaped. As it says there is a 4 stud border - if I had the track right to the edge I may have been able to fit more in.

    I was told that the reason they stopped showing alternative models on the box is that they kept on disappointing customers who phoned up asking for the instructions for the alternative models. They decided it was better not to show them. A lot of work goes into creating instructions. It is a pity, as they were there for inspiration.

    I see it was a way of using flexi - track.

    When I look at the 4DBRix website, I can only see plastic track https://www.4dbrix.com/products/train/ I thought only FxBrix were making 9V track https://www.fxbricks.com/

    I have been thinking for sometime of buying TrixBrix Boom Barrier Combo but I haven't found any reviews by users. Has anyone bought this product - did it live up to expectations? Boom Barriers Combo (trixbrix.eu)

    60052 MOC

    Dav1d posted a topic in LEGO Train Tech

    Here is my MOD of the Blue loco from set 60052. I tried to build it using only the bricks supplied with 60052 but gradually I used more. I happened to have two spare 2 wide blue train windows. I like these small locos - they are hard to do without a 9V train motor.

    Is the station roof made from brick separators?

    Did you cut your track. How did you get the 4 passing loops on the right side of the top left circuit?

    You then get on oval of track, a motor & controlled (and an extra train).

    I entered "old-style-looking electric multiple units" and selected images and got a lot of pictures. Maybe you need to narrow down your search. I often find looking at model railway catalogues helps. Hornby Catalogue Bachmann Europe plc - model-railway/branchline -> Multiple Units

    I prefer 4563- I like the small red loco. It's a pity we don't get small locos any more. I also like the wagons.

    It looks as if a similar part was proposed in 1991 by Torben Plaborg - see the bottom right of the photo.

    Thanks, well spotted.

    Sorry, I still cannot see the 90 degree crossing. I can only see one straight rail.

    I couldn't work out where to vote. I logged in ....

    Where did you see this? Interesting to hear that the main reason for changing from 12V to 9V was because of Dust. I did find that I had to run (push) the 12V train around the track a few times to burn the dirt off. I would have thought that safety (12V to 9V), simplicity (one piece rather then 5 piece track) and realism (no centre conducting rail) would also have been factors. Also interesting that the choice of Amtrak colours was a deliberate choice - I'm sure that's what made the set so popular.

    Here are two simple semaphore signals.

    Building A Lego Model Railway - Part 1 - YouTube I have just watch the first part and it is very good. His 1/4 scale mock up was excellent.

    Thanks for posting the review.

    Here is my Edinburgh Tram from the tram from set 8404 Public Transport Station. I had previously modified it for a 9V motor, here I have added white & dark red bricks and my own stickers.

    Well said.

    It should be allowed. If they are rubbish we need to know, if they are good we need to know There is a lot of discussion on BlueBrick software, TrixBrixs, BrickTracks etc. - all of which are not LEGO, but are important to us. I want to know if TrixBrix is good. BrickSet does a review of Communist 'LEGO' which is very interesting. If The LEGO Group are not up to the job of producing items we want, why should other be stopped?
