    Is a lattice boom stronger than a telescopic boom? I am building a long spaceship for SHIPtember using technic panels and I get some bending when I tried to swoosh it. Probably better in space where there is less gravity.

    He is a TFOL. TFOL = Teasing Fan Of LEGO.

    Like your mountain bus facade. You could probably add a touch of graffiti.

    I bought and assembled 60052 Cargo Train. The holes on the top of the engine bother me so I wanted to cover them up. I ended up making a bunch other modifications along the way: Added Power Function LED ditch lights Changed style of radiator grills Added air intake grills Added dynamic brake grills Moved fan #1 forward for dynamic brakes Moved fans #2 and #3 further back Added exhaust port Covered up unnecessary openings in the roof Changed to smaller sized horns Changed style of fuel tank Switched doors around so they are no longer suicide doors Added dual transclear stud lights to back Changed bley brack in front roof to black I guess it looks a bit like an EMD GP38 now. Please excuse my messy building table. 60052 MOD by dr_spock_888, on Flickr

    Even with US prices, US taxes, and US currency exchange rate, new LEGO sets still come out a better deal in the USA than in most other countries.

    I think it would be helpful to someone trying to reverse-engineer your MOC or the newbies wondering how the heck did he do that.

    Modified the 60052 cargo train engine.

    I am guilty of modifying electrical components too.

    Sweet collection of MOW trucks. LOL. That gives me some ideas. I should build an outhouse on wheels. Darn, someone else already thought of it: http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=499316

    Something like this on train tracks or monorail?
  14. dr_spock
    How about a nuclear flask wagon?

    What does your wife say?

    The 60051 high speed train can be lighted with PF LEDs. There are two 2L technic lift beams just behind the nose of the engine, you can stick the LEDs into the holes. 7939 Cargo Train dark grey nose piece has holes that the LEDs can go into too. 7938 Passenger Train has the same nose piece in white.

    Ok, scratch that idea. How about a FRA test car? http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=235037&nseq=184

    Looks like you like passenger trains. Maybe a baggage car for your Santa Fe?

    Here are some videos on a couple of tomato harvesters. The machines are pretty neat.

    I would buy these sets too. Can't go wrong with more cannons and some bluecoats to go against my 2009 redcoats.

    I've used Avery mailing labels for my PRR Class BB1. Yellow on Avery inkjet clear sheets didn't work out. Also the Avery clear is not really clear like water decals or vinyl. They're kind of frosty. PRR Class BB1 by dr_spock_888, on Flickr Another option might be to outsource the sticker printing to a print shop. Some of my LUG members had good results with that.

    Happy _0th birthday, Trent.
  23. dr_spock
    Looking good. Freebie windows? Which LUG is this?
  24. dr_spock
    Yup, elephant style.

    I was just thinking of the same thing. Good looking builds.
