That is an awesome layouy! I love how you turned the Pizza Palace into a non-cutout building! On another note, why does the toysrus set with its creepy bear figure huant me! Also what are you using to keep that helicopter up in the air?

Yea... I think the rack railway probably will only work with pneumatics and not Lego motors... anyways time to start designing passenger coaches!

I can't decide if I should go with Freight or Passenger! What do you think? Also I was thinking about haveing a large technic gear connected inside to the middle axel to be used for a rack railway , or maybe I should save that for the next pneumatic locomotive.

Hmmm why not use a giant hydrogen cell to produce electricity for the motors instead of a fusion reactor.

Ok here is the locomotive so far, so tell me what you think! I really hate my camera's ability to capture every single piece of dust!

Nahhh I just went on a 3 month search for the battery for my Kodak Pleaser camera... (Loves Old Cameras) But there are a small battery about 4 studs.... I don't know why any has tried that before...

I really wanna buy one of those sets but I don't have a spare $300, they really should bring back monorail...

I have never been so frightend of a locomotive design! I'd think it would be better to have a locomotive run off an HHO Flame!

Ok I have finished the boiler and the cab but I have not built the smoke stack or the steam dome or any extra details. I will post some pictures once I finish the details!

I have been thinking that myself! So I have been hopeing for a monorail set so I don't have to pay $300 on a used monorail set of bricklink....

Wait , wait , wait ! I still need a something that keeps the gear movement the same direction for the valve gear ot the reverse switch won't work!

Ha Ha Ha I coulf have adited the last post but it would not have updated he topic to the front page.

You're right! I wanted to hide he pneumatic tubeing at the pipes and other things that are normaly on a boiler! And I think its time for me to tell the story of the Es co. Mondo Pneumatic Locomotive. The Es. co. Mondo locomotive was the first pneumatic locomotive I ever built, it was a 0-8-0 and it was very ugly .... it had all of the pneumatic tubing ouside of the locomotive and there are no pictures of this locomotive , only some eyewitness discriptions for RichLUG.

That is awesome!!! I have been waiing so long for some one to build a Chima Train! I have been wanting to build a Horizion Exspress Wolf Tribe Coach!

Ha ha ha ha! Wow I was expecting a reply about my Idea for a J-battery adapter! I'd just be happy to hear you guys know what J-batteries are!

You still have a month and a half to enter multiple locomotives.

Its almost been a month and still no entries... I really wanna see what you guys have created, and with any luck I won't be the only Pneumatic train build around.

Hmmm I think the Large drivers are too small compared to the real thing. Maybe you could change the large drivers to the XL BBB drivers instead to better match the real thing?

The Engine is the easy part the real hard part is trying to fit a maze a pneumatic hoses and switches for the reverse switch in the tender.Also if Lego Locomotives where scaled more to the minifig size from real size this locomotive would be a smaller locomotive compared to others if we used the 8/10 wide scale.

I was imagining some like a PC fan attached to a small bag

What? It hangs above so far because its a fixed to the Locomotive like most Steam Locomotives, It handels the hanging boiler very well on a 0% gradient curve.

They are BBB XL drivers. And no I am not going with the linkage mostly becuase I NEED that sliding block and the only valve gear linkage made was for no pneumatic use and has no strength to support the pistons.

Ok here is the locomotive so far! http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=80505

Yup, the only thing that is holding me back is the people on the Technic side of Eurobricks are checking my blueprints and waiting for more feed back!I really wanna tell the story of the first Es co. pneumatic locomotive but I must wait!

This is the Es co. Goliath Pneumatic Locomotive! Even though it is not complete it will be eventually! I would love some feedback on how I could add more detail! The current Line-Up of the Es co. Pneumatic Locomotives are! 1. Es co. I will tell the story of the first locomotive later. 2. Es co. Behemoth Locomotive 3. Es co. Goliath Locomotive 4. Es co. Colossus Locomotive (the name for the next locomotive)
