Finished a couple train MOCs.

Welcome aboard.

You should start a new thread on your Amtrak train in phase III color scheme. It would be nice to see more details of it.

Presenting my Fire Fighting Train MOC. Fire fighting train is perfect for battling railway fires including in tunnels. It is equiped with dual high power nozzles, water and foam car, oxygen tanks, happy fire fighting crew. It is playable for ages 5 and up. Fire Fighting Train by dr_spock_888, on Flickr The equipment car has hose reel and cabinets for storage of oxygen tanks, masks, fire extinguishers, tools, etc. It is Power Function ready with space for IR Receiver and Battery Box. Battery box slots perfectly in between the storage cabinets. It is more capable than a CITY fire truck modified for rail service since the truck can't pull a passenger train out of a burning tunnel. Fire Engine MOD by dr_spock_888, on Flickr Don't forget to duck when going into tunnels. It doesn't look safe riding up there.

Welcome aboard. Trains can be highly addictive. Hope to see some pics of your layout in Trains theme section.

Welcome to Eurobricks. See you in the Technics section.

Welcome aboard.

LEGO service is awesome. They're sending a replacement NXT. They're also sending a SASE to return the bad part.

I made a toy version of the Multi-Purpose Machine (MPM). Play features include a moving excavator with clam bucket. The versatile Multi-Purpose Machine (MPM) maintenance provider easily and safely handles labor-intensive tasks such as ditching, tie distribution, tie pick up, rail pick up, PTC and signaling installation, general clean up, OTM distribution and pick up, grading and crossing work, tree removal and thinning, land clearing, snow removal, and material (ballast and rip rap) distribution.

Do you mean forced creativity? I started my latest MOC with a battery box and IR receiver. Then I built the train body around them. 9V was easier. Replace one of boogies with the 9V motor and you're done. Yup, change can be hard.

Train crash looks realistic too. Were any ants hurt? Thanks for sharing.

Welcome aboard, Bscrio.

Found out one of my local stores has horses again after I made a long trip to the other store. grrr...

Nice stop motion build. I've pulled the trigger on the set and I am a passenger train type of guy.

1281 pieces. Needed some red for a MOC.

Nice use of parts and tree build.

Picked up a large Pick A Brick cup.

Welcome to Eurobricks, Kexikus.

Great review. Love those reindeers. Should make one into Rudolph. One can always order a light brick from BrickLink to MOD the set.

Welcome to Eurobricks.

Welcome aboard. Great to have another train fan onboard.

Nice old school look.

I tossed the old ones into a banker's box and new ones are currently stacked on a bookshelf.

It was fun driving around Quincy, MA.

Printed some clear stickers and the red doesn't show well on my black MOC. ARGH.
