Not too keen on pickup trucks but I am happy to see red panels are back. It might be one of those good parts set. -
I like that new bucket. Not sure if I'll get this set yet. Who's going to do the first review of it on EB?
-
Excellent review. A must buy set, even just for the scooter.

Welcome to EB.

Nice idea. I believe you can also use acetone to glue LEGO together.

I try to keep old grey separated. Sometimes it is hard to tell with the bad lighting in my basement.
-
Power Functions, perhaps?
-
Very cool.

Great collection. Love those old printed fire engine parts from the 1980s.

My PRR B1 has reproduced itself into a PRR Class BB1. When PRR bought the first batch of the units, they came in BB1 configuration. The units were semi-permanently joined together. Only later on in life did PRR separated them into single B1 units and ordered further units as B1. PRR Class BB1 by dr_spock_888, on Flickr As a BB1 model, there is room to add Power Functions. An XL-motor can replace the M-motor if more power is needed. I had to add tires to the drive wheels to give it more traction around curves. I find the 0-6-0 wheel configration fascinating in these electrics. YouTube video: More pics on my BrickShelf: http://www.brickshel...ry.cgi?f=539207

Looks good in all black. What clone parts did you use?
-
Good observation!
-
I think it's also a limited edition and involves waiting in line for a long time to get one. The alternative is to get one off eBay or similar service.

Welcome aboard, Bruno.

Nice. Can it play warning sounds?
-
I don't think LEGO would make a starter set where grandma or grandpa have to buy to two to make it complete for the grandkids.
-
Thank you all for your kind words. Cale, I didn't know they were called "rats". What is the reason for that nickname?
-
Welcome aboard, Miranda.

What kind of engineer are you? When I took civil engineering, it was the civil engineer's job to make sure the architect's design doesn't collapse.

Presenting my little Pennsylvania Railroad B1 electric boxcab switcher. The B1 was a 700HP switcher used on the PRR. It had an interesting looking 0-6-0 wheel arrangement. They were built between 1926 and 1935. Originally they were operated in semi-permanent pairs as the BB1 class. They were splitted into single B1 units later on. I built this engine as it was a cute little boxcab and to learn to make stickers with Avery labels. It was also a good use of the wheel set from the LEGO Monster Fighter's Ghost Train. In order to motorize it, I may have to build another one to make a BB1 unit. The B1 currently doesn't have enough room to fit in the battery box, IR receiver and motor. That's a project for another day.

They are rigid enough depending what you plan to do with the 2L cut piece? I used a cut 2L to have two minifigs "hold hands".

Start with 8070.

LEGO has a novelty policy regarding their watermarked confidential and confidential-preliminary images. http://ceeteamblog.files.wordpress.com/2014/01/novelty-policy-tlg.pdf Basically don't post them and report them.

Excellent use of the Technic mini-LA. On flickr, you can also click on the share icon when viewing the picture and select "Grab the HTML/BBCode". Copy the BBCode and paste in your post.

Wow. Will you finish her in brick when your budget permits? Probably better for the Redcoats that she stays a rendering.
