  1. Thanks Dr_Spock ...and you're right with your observation about the container, but Lego is just a dream and I love consider the trains of all ages still in use! I've used super magnet only between the Big Jack, the Howard Fogg and the mail car ...for the other wagong I've used: technic plate 1x4, technic axle 2 notched and technich bush 1/2 Thanks Rail Co Correct for the first wagons I've been lucky with that stickers!
  2. Union Pacific Hi Everyone, after several months I can show you my biggest project: two complete freights for my Big Boy and Big Jack! The first picture is a tribute to Kennefick Park in Omaha (Nebraska): For me these two locomotives are a symbol of strength and beauty as other American icons such as Saturn V or super heroes like Superman and Ironman The idea of planning two entire trains for these locomotives came from the charm of the classic "yellow & red" Union Pacific livery THE FREIGHT TRAIN It all started from Joe Jordan (UPP 814) to support the tender of Big Boy... ...then I looked on the net some pictures of freight cars to complete the first set; the first two cars are only toy models, while the last one is taken from a real one... THE PASSENGER TRAIN Originally consisting of a mail car, two passenger cars, a dining car, a sleeper coach and a business wagon for the end. Because of the extreme weight of the train I had to add (when the project was already finished ) another car with two engines in addition to those of the Big Jack. So we have: Power wagon: UPP 209 Howard Fogg Mail car: UPP 5819 Passenger car: UPP 5483 Texas Eagle Panorama: UPP 8004 Colorado Eagle Dining car: UPP 4808 City of Los Angeles Sleeping car: UPP 200 Omaha End wagon: UPP 103 Cheyenne All the wagons are 7 studs wide, have some SNOT techniques and the doors have a more realistic half plate offset. Another big problem was to find the pictures of the coaches from both sides because different between them. UPP 209 Howard Fogg Mail car: UPP 5819 Passenger car: UPP 5483 Texas Eagle Panorama: UPP 8004 Colorado Eagle Dining car: UPP 4808 City of Los Angeles Sleeping car: UPP 200 Omaha End wagon: UPP 103 Cheyenne Now some extra bonus pictures! I'll post soon a video of the Big Jack in action. Stay tuned!
  3. This is my longest train ...soon with its own topic!
  4. Epic MOC! The flora looks beautiful and the sharks seem fly in the water
  5. Simply amazing! May you show us the wagons with the locomotive? I like the 7 studs format and the inner details. Impressive the 4 studs wide tunnel at the end of both sides of the coach.
  6. This is one of the most amazing projects I've ever seen ...and you're both masters!
  7. Lovely work! I like the shape and the great work with PF components!
  8. Wow this is really impressive! Amazing work!
  9. Awesome ...this train looks like a torpedo!
  10. Oh please ...do more of these funny videos! :laugh: Thanks for sharing!
  11. I agree the sound of 12v is unique
  12. What a nice project UrbanErwin, I like your ballast and the great turntable!
  13. The propeller is fantasic! Nice shape, this plane looks like a lego vintage set!
  14. Brilliant! I love your super cars Er0l and this Ferrari isn't an exception!
  15. WOW, WOW, WOW ...what a fantastic silos ...I love the shape and the rare color! :wub:
  16. I think that panels are too tall, but Duq's technique is correct: you can use n. 4 trans-clear brick 1x1 instead of n. 2 panel, and replace the tiles 1x2 with n. 2 tile 1x1
  17. Nice work! Amazing livery and very good nose and windscreen I like the details for the roof
  18. Who has received the ME model tracks can tell if the rails are delivered with tracking mail?
  19. Gorgeous cars' show! I like the details on the wheels of your cars ...the Dodge Charger looks simply perfect!
  20. Amazing MOC: I like the main wall with all those SNOTted windows. I love the interior products so 'well identified, but most of all I like the separate office in the back of the store with the dividing wall, the water dispenser and the air conditioner!
