Still no train switches. What a shame...
-
Thank you, francis.

I don't know if I'm breaking any forum rules asking the following question. If so, please let me know. I'm going to buy 1 Express Horizon and some other products on official LEGO online store (Italian one) for a total of € 255,00. Ehm... do you have any valid promo codes for discount or free shipping? Thanks.

It's confirmed. Here's a picture of one of the first Series 10 boxes I've found on Instagram. -
Why don't you use original stairs? http://www.bricklink...tem.asp?P=30134
-
Whoa! It's great. Thank you for sharing. I'll try asap.

Thanks for your clarification, AndyC

If you didn't noticed it, thebrickblogger.com has just posted a nice preview on this turntable. Here's the link: http://thebrickblogger.com/2013/01/lego-cuusoo-lego-train-turntable-and-roundhouse/ The only problem I have noticed is that you used 18 tracks for the entire circle. This means an inclination of 20 degrees, while regular curves have an inclination of 22.5 degrees. So you can't use a curve to make two parallel tracks. I know that this is probably due to the pieces you used to make the base, but I think that a design more consistent with official sets could be a benefit.

Ah ah, it seems that TLG came to a much simpler and elegant solution :-)

PDF instructions in LEGO website are the same I have, so the latest version, I guess. You could spot the differences with yours. http://cache.lego.com/bigdownloads/buildinginstructions/4611661.pdf http://cache.lego.com/bigdownloads/buildinginstructions/4581168.pdf

Oh yes, it could be! Another proof of how much TLG pays attention to details.

Yes, if rotated it doesn't fit because of the stud on top. That part is not modified when you motorize the engine. You'll get spare parts from the box in the middle of the boiler. What I still don't understand is why the pearl round below the brick... It can't be a decoration. Anyway if you use a 2x4 plate, that round can be used to block the brick in the middle position.
-
Found the missing step, I didn't put the plate in front of the engine, just behind the front round plate.
-
I don't understand, Pugsly. What do you mean? It seems to be exactly as instructions say.

I've just checked the two reviews indexed in this forum. If you check the review by Captain Zuloo, when he shows the gear box, that brick is not there. While in the review by Brickdoctor at step 52 the brick has been put as I did. That's strange. In addition, I got one Light Bluish Gray Technic Plate 2 x 4 with 3 Holes in my spare parts, while in the latter review that piece is not there. Did I miss something?

Hi guys, I have a question about a building step in Emerald Night instructions. At page 6, it's clearly shown to put a tan brick 1x1 with hole with a pearl round 1x1 attached below in the "gear box", blocked by the black axle. This is what I did, as you can see in the following image. At page 50, when you need to put the engine upside down to build the bogies, that brick with attached round is not shown. Is correct what I did? Why is the brick free to move on the axle? My guess is that the brick is used to block the gears in their place, but if so, what's the benefit of that round attached below the brick? Thank you in advance for your help.

I've just supported it. Great creation. Unfortunately it will never reach 10.000 supporters as LEGO Trains are not mainstream anymore...
-
Thank you, DaveBey.
-
Ah, switches are not in default installation... Thank you, Duq and DaveBey. Do you know how to install them? Is there a complete archive? They require a lot of subfiles.
-
I can't find 9V switches. What part number are they?
-
Hi guys, I can't find some PF Tracks in Bricksmith / LDraw inventory list. Parts should be: Flexible Segment Curve Double Crossover Straight Left Switch Right Switch Bricksmith has only the Flexible Segment. I know that 9V Curved and Straight tracks should be ok, so I can use them. But I can't find double crossover and switches. Any suggestions? Thanks.
-
Thank you, EE and WM. In USA it's cheaper but shipping fees are quite expensive. 50 USD for USPS.
-
They are used in Italy too.
-
I'd want to buy an Emerald Night, but it's really expensive on BrickLink, Amazon and Ebay. I'm located in Italy. Do you know a place or website that offers this product at a cheaper price (max 150 euros)? Thanks.
-
Thanks CB68. Could you please post the inventory list? I'd like to check how much it could cost on BL.
