    Trains are very regional. It could be difficult to come up a specific prototype that can please a global wide audience. Ideally, they would make different train sets for different markets but that's probably not going to happen with the one size fits all business model. CITY trains are starter sets, basically to provide a base for the kids to build upon at an affordable price. As a building toy, CITY trains can be disassembled and rebuilt into something else the kids imagine and to develop that skill of being able to visualize it and build it. I am ok for train motors. I ran out of spare IR receivers. I should get a couple just in case. Thanks.

    Neat, will you be building a permanent outdoor track layout? LGB track is expensive. I wonder if hand laying your own track would be cheaper?

    The agreement is I stay within my small corner in the basement. I don't have much room for display. But I joined a LUG. My builds are displayed at their events. The rest of the time they are stored away in boxes in my corner between events.

    Welcome aboard, Harrilal. Which part of Canada are you from?

    Great idea! I have an extra door sitting in storage. My spouse has been bugging to get her folding tables back...

    Even back in the good old days of train doors, you still had to open the roof to move your minifigs into and out of their seats. It's double VIP points here in North America, get more PF stuff now or hold off and see what the new BT PF has in store?

    Cool. This might also be useful for LiPo batteries in runaway chemical reaction state.

    Welcome aboard, Gwalothel. LEGO and university is a good mix. I bought my first set in university.

    I look at pictures on RailPictures.net. I try to do my own thing and make toy versions of prototypes that catch my interest.

    Aye. dr_spock has the right to organize the next championship. The previous time frame worked just fine so we'll stay with that.

    Thank you all very much. Building and learning to use a CNC machine is fun. It can be useful in making prize for the next soccer (football) championship in BoBS. Let's Make a Trophy by dr_spock_888, on Flickr

    Great find. Looks like from someone who took care of their LEGO.

    Very nice replica. Orange is an interesting colour.

    Do you have a name or a link for the horn? I could try to make that sound with my trumpet.

    Cool. I got one too with the Gearbest dollars I got from buying a 3D printer kit. Its video seem to look ok with good light on the YouTube reviews of the camera. It fits on and in trains too using system pieces.

    On Bastion, there was a sculptor Then again no, he was an artist Making ABS paintings and stone It is not much but it's the best he can do Avast, a customer at last! Should I use my head or hammer? LEGO Engraver Workshop by dr_spock_888, on Flickr Pirates don't usually pay for artwork when they can just "pirate" it.

    Nice job on the ship. Her sails look good. Were the sails hand painted with a kid in each hand?

    Welcome to Eurobricks, Yves. Nice job on that Snowcat. Looks like the plows on Montreal sidewalks.

    Cool. A fun mod could be to make the speed of the barrier arm proportional to the speed of the approaching train.

    I've replaced my bell with a big honking horn. Weekend crowd of people on the path seem oblivious to the bell. Day 248 of 365: Ride Carefully and Carry a Big Horn by dr_spock_888, on Flickr

    Welcome aboard, Yoroshiku.

    Oh dear, it looks like exposure to LEGO paint causes birth defects.

    Bunnies.

    Welcome back, Paul B. See you in the Technic forum.

    You can do that now with a heat-gun to soften and melt LEGO parts. With PLA you can use the low heat setting on the gun.
