Hi, everybody. For the past few weeks I have been working on a train station. You all sent me great ideas, and I pasted them all together. Enjoy!
Since I cannot show you the pictures here for some silly reason, check it out at my MOCpage at mocpages.com
I hope you enjoy.
Always entertaining, always inspiring, always:
I am currently working on an old train station on LDD. I am thinking of doing a two-platform station, with glass windows on the sides. If any other ideas, please tell me them so that soon, very soon, you can tell me how to make it.
Always entertaining, always inspiring, always:
The Emerald Night is about 7 stud wide. The 7898 is 6 studs wide.
I have the 7897 set, transformed into a steamer. When put side by side, they look like they belong together.
The size of my layout is about 2'x4 1/2'
To explain this, I just got some more train track for Christmas.
You should also see the trains I have on there, of course my Emerald Night, and a creation of mine, a GWR "Hall" Class
I for one have seen the Emerald Night with the regular battery box. It kind of looks wierd poking out of the tender, but it works. I'd say to save money, omit the light. That's what I'm gonna do.
And that battery box in America costs at almost $50!
Since I wasn't alive in the 80's, I've never heard of 12 volt trains until I read about them on Wikipedia. The earliest trains I've seen on LEGO.com were 9 volts.
