I spy with my little eye something begining with, new steam layout ? Anyway a very nice carrige, can't wait to see more of these . I can't see in the pictures but is it 6 or 7 wide? Instructions please! :) Thanks, cb

Thanks guys, I'm glad other people find it interesting. Also what i forgot to say was that with the 12v tracks there is a slight amount you can turn to make small angle. So no curves need to change direction. But 'The Brickster' we can always live in hope that lego will make straight narrow gauge track. @ 'scruffulous' what a great engine , definatly shows the great side of narrow gauge. Thanks, cb

I do agree 'Richie' the curves are quite hard but i found a page on brickshelf that solves the problem http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=386538. Although i havn't checked it for myself i think i would work, but if it does then the only other things are the switching points that need to be sorted. @ 'fred67' I'm think i understand what you mean and it would be possible, but thats the challange with lego rying to make it look right. thanks,cb

Hi, recently i was looking around brickshelf and i saw http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=371934 those designs and an article in a model railway magazine inspired me to make my own train http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=425083. I am very happy with the train, so happy in fact it will have a static part in my layout. The design took between 5-10 minutes and uses the most basic pieces. Now i ask you have ever made a narrow gauge loco, if not why not? Narrow gauge locomotives are in nearly every country in the world ranging from industrial duties to passanger trains in the tops of mountains so the possibilaties are endless. I hope this encourages some one to make a small train. thanks,cb

brilliant finaly people are making lego trains more realistic and functional. I will definatly be using this in my mk1's (8-wide ) I am very happy to see you've joined eurobricks and i hope you will share more of your models with us. thanks, cb

thanks Allan, i had only checked under power functions i thought i would have been there. Thanks again and sorry for waisting everybodies time. thanks, cb

Hi. I was planning a 8-wide class 22(its a british model) in power functions and i don't want to use the power functions motor because of all the problems. Well i was going to use the pf and 9v conversion wire but lego have removed it from their products.So with no easy way of powering it i am not sure how to get it moving, any ideas fellow euro brickers? there was a way a friend of my suggested, it would mean getting a new and old motor joining them together. Which i thought was a good idea until i checked the length and it was too big to fit inside. if any one would like to see pictures of the 22 i would be happy to get some. thank you for your time, cb

I like the sets but they dont do much for me but i think they are a definate improvement to the rc trains. just out of curiosity has anyone noticed the wheels on the freight loco, the left one isnt powerd but looks a different (notice those two grey things). Also the use of fence in the back of the first picture is intreasting. thats just my opinoin feal free to ignore it. thanks cb

I think you will probably need to change the whole thing to a seven wide model just to fit in with the curves. all the best with this project. thanks, cb

Its not really the paintings i find interesting it more the adverts that used to be all over Britian for all those fast steam services, for example: http://gatf.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/tf...w=470&h=592 http://www.travelpostersonline.com/ekmps/s...lways-379-p.jpg http://www.cvphm.org/release/Dscn6358.jpg http://www.culture24.org.uk/asset_arena/9/...9/v0_master.jpg thanks cb

Tut-tut i am dissapointed that you have only giving him a a week if it was up to me he would clearly get at least a month . no really all his models have been fantstic with no let downs at all . and lets hope he gets one next year . thanks cb

WOW. Thats amazing it took me a minate to realise that the track is 4-wide and if i am right then you have got two pieces of track side by side and you're using the two inside track pieces.I can't wait for the whole thing. keep up the good work and welcometo eurobricks; cb

I-spy with my little eye an epic new modular building! Although i dont own any modular buildings i may have to buy this one just by its sheer beautifulness and the dark green parts and thousand other awsome details . just a question: are the top two floors buit as one are can they come apart? thanks cb

The dark green is the best of the three but i will always have a soft spot for the yellow version - nice work keep it up

wow that is really cool, looks even more of a beast in the snow. hope that the power functions stuff works. -crabboy

I have got a code but - i can even activate it (i am at the point where you enter the code)it says that my email isn't correct to the one the email was sent to, so if any one who has already got the game a little help would be much appreciated. Thanks, cb

Nice. its as great as ever and as scenery is not my strong point this could be quite useful. The cactus (imho) looks a bit of a funny colour or is it supposed to be like that? Cheers cb

@legotrainfan- I agree this looks a lot tidier than lego version. nice one , the stickers are great. cb

build a buzz is one of my fav's with those great colours but an awful name sadly . still get him name or no name .

Thats not a table scrap thats fantastic. well done i love the tiltedness of it but i am not used to this kind of railway bridge. i am used to massive stone bridges. cb

wow *faint with amazement* i wont even try to out do that as it has made my day cb

That is awsome, well done TheBrickster love your halloween stuff and the skeleton heads give it the final touch. Its a shame about the station not fitting in but the rest of your stuff is great. cb

two words : absolutely Fantastic cant say i'm a big fan of american locos (as i am English)but this is great 5*. cb

ha ha, what an evil train. love it what a great idea, i love the claw hand things cb

oh well done nice review (parts mainly). didn't realise we could review these- i'll get on reviewing lunar command tomorrow. cb
