    Why doesn't she like it? I like it. Train wheels make everything better.

    They have lime colour variations with their Lamborghini Sian supercar set. It would seem it is a feature now available on lower priced sets.

    You can also try reaching out to a LEGO User Group local to you. Some members in my LUG like buying bulk lots. They find stuff on places like Facebook Marketplace. Some times people contact us directly. You probably won't get as much selling them as a big pile versus sorting everything out and selling individual used sets. But if you want to get rid of it quickly with minimal effort, that could be a possible route to take.

    It might be a good Idea to practice cutting on some other plastic thing before attempting on the motor itself.

    Depends if you want new readers to follow your WIP progress or not. I think you may have to be at a certain user level in order to create polls.

    I had a couple sets and bucket of bricks too. I don't recall building anything to display. LEGO figures didn't come out until later in the dark ages. Had to pretend there were people in the vehicles. The LEGO disapppeared during a move and I got in scale plastic model kits instead. Plastic cement and enamel paint were much more aromatic back in the 70s.

    That's a cute little Creator set.

    Would HABrick's Boxpok Studio files work? https://www.habricks.com/product-categorie/wheels/#

    I had to teach myself some basic CAD and 3D printing. There are compatible plugs on places like AliExpress. It would be like stacking PF plugs in the PF system. The LEDs would be subjected to the same PWM output as the motor. The LED brightness would be affected by that.

    Running two PF train motors off a single port on PU hub seems to be ok so far... Note: do so at your own risk.

    Boost move hub is 6 wide. It'll fit on a train base plate. LEGO Boost Train by dr_spock_888, on Flickr

    Nice job on the plastic surgery.

    Redesigning a mold with different gate locations costs more than just making another copy of the worn out mold. Maybe the molten plastic fills the mold better from the new gate locations?

    The title seems to imply Lego has disabled minifigures discussion and rumours. Pirate hook and wooden leg are low tech prosthetics. The pirate can be considered disabled from workplace related injuries. There are short term and long term disabilities. Broken leg with clutches is short term. The pirate severed or amputated leg and hand would be a long term.

    Nice work. It has a bit of that Dutch ICM train feel too.

    Didn't LEGO have quartering in the Emerald Night instructions?

    We'll be getting a set or two to run at our events.

    Dummy AA or AAA batteries are ok. Depending on the device's case, you may have to cut a notch or drill a hole for the wires to exit. 9V style Li-Ion batteries are great until one of the cells goes out of balance and bad.

    Nice work. They'll make good cannon or bowling ball fodder for the Blue Coats.

    It does have the color accents of Friends sets using dark torquoise, azure, orange yellow, etc. It would be an easy addition to a Friend's Heartlake City layout. Bonus.
  21. dr_spock
    Not a bad looking set. I wonder if this set has gone over to the all plastic bogie wheel axles.

    That's no fun. You don't get to learn what a real electrical short smells like or see real burned motor smoke coming out of your HO EMD F9 engine. For the record, I never licked my HO metal tracks but I did use sugar for track ballast. Mom never busted me for that. I did that when I was a kid while unplugging a toy chord organ. My index finger accidentally bridged the hot and neutral prongs. It was a stimulating experience with 120V AC. Assuming dry skin has a resistance of 100K ohm, there was at least 1.2 mA flowing across my finger.

    A Harry Potter train and station would be targeted towards the type of HP fans who would collect anything and everything that is HP related. I don't think they'll really care too much if it is to AFOL MOC standards or not.
  24. dr_spock
    I hope it doesn't go away. It's really useful for obtaining quantities of train related parts to build for our public shows and events. They don't seem to have a problem taking my money.

    Nice work. Old computer ribbon cables are cheaper or free if you don't mind the grey colour.
