Nice and sweet layout. I really like how you made it all fit together using the same technique for the roofs. I would buy that station of yours if it was an offical LEGO-product. Keep on building!

Lovely version and a big improvement on the old model 3451. But I am getting a bit of remake / reboot feeling I already have with movies these days. Why not a new model of for example a Spitfire or another bi-plane. Do we also get a new version of the 10024 (Red Baron)?

I have to stop drooling now. That really looks great and fits right in with the other buidling of wich I own none. Here it is tradition that the winning football team shows the trophy on the balcony of cityhall so that gives me an idea for aMOC.

This is gonna cost me - I would love to buy those sets ! I use to buy almost all Star Wars but they are losing there "I want one" feel for me.

Hello everybody out there in the train tech forum. My real name is Maurice and I live in the Netherlands. I have been reading and sharing my thought with people on Eurobricks in general for a while now. Some of you tried to help me find my mystery train I remember owning back in the day. I have always loved Lego and all of it's themes but trains were always one of my favorites.(castle being the other odd enough). I own 4 trains, 2 12v trains (7725, 7740) and 2 old push trains (171 and my mystery train 162-1?). When growing up at one point I lost my intrest in Lego-trains switching to n-scale trains. But never losing intrest in Lego. Still buying the odd set here and there but no trains. These days I find myself being drawn back into Lego-trains. So much I'm thinking of expanding my train collection and building a Lego-city in my attic next to the n-scale track I still have.

Looks nice and sweet. And indeed an old 80's feel to it. I regonize some old models I also own (the train and the van.

I took a look at my page at brickset and I realized that I own 77 SW-sets that's almost 1/3 of my total collection. Although I don't buy as many SW-sets as I used to because I feel that the SW-sets are repeating them selves. I have collected quit a few.

Nice. I really liked the trainyard. Do you have more room to expand or else it would get too crowded .

Just bought the 9492 Tie Fighter. And already put it together and it looks really really nice. It will fit in nicely with my Tie Fighter collection. I just love the R4 droid that's in the box btw.

I don't remember ever owning a train like this but I am going to download instructions and build it just to see if I remember anything. Must of my collection I can almost build without instructions. Usually skipping big parts of the instructions because I remember how I build them before. Probaly a big challenge trying to build because all the parts are scatterd over many boxes since I 95% of my lego is in pieces. Only a bunch of Star Wars models and a couple of Model-Team models are still whole and on display. And one train but that's because my cousin loves to play with it.

Here it is! Finally. Still haven't tried to find the special wheels

So I can't upload only deeplinck - that's a problem because I am not a member of any website where I can keep my pictures.

So I finally took a picture of the baseplate. But I just can't seem to get it uploaded.

This is simply wonderfull, a really wonderfull creation. I would buy this if it was a Lego-set. Now all I can do is drool while watching it over and over.

Post a pic is a good idea. But how do I do that because I'm afraid my picture may br too big for this website. It's funny even my mom is trying to help. She went through all the photoalbums to find pictures of me playing with Lego. Although the train wasn't on any of them it was a real trip down memory lane: seeing my lay-out of a legotown with my beloved red cat, we used to have when I was a kid, watching me play. He always did that. Sometimes I would love to go back to those days. But I'll try to post a picture soon and I am trying to locate the wheels. Because I believe there was something special about those wheels. Especially the front and back wheels. But I have 17 rather large boxes to go through.

I have found the baseplate! Now I have to find it on the web and see wich trains go with it.

I didn't build much MOC back then. I ussually kept all models as they were and used all my other Lego to build around them: bridges, trainstations.

It almost looks like but it isn't. De train had moveable wheels on the front and back. I haven't had time to dive into my Legoboxes to try to locate some parts like the wheels and baseplate.

I have the 7740 including booklet and it wasn't a b-model. And isn't any of the other models you sugested. But thank you for your effort. If I have time I will try to find the train-baseplate of the model. It is really annoying when you know I had it and now I can't find it. Maybe I'll go through the fotoalbums to see if mom took a picture of me and my Lego trains

Unfortunatly no this isn't the one.

The other day I was looking through my collection of lego buildingbooks and I noticed something. I was missing a building instruction book of a train. So off course I started looking on the internet to locate this train and it's instructionbooklet but I can't find it. I have no picture of the train and the train itself is off course in a bunch of pieces and scattered between the other Lego. So I am hoping someone here knows something: It was a yellow hand-pushed diesel train. It looked a bit like a Crocodile-train but yellow and a bit more sturdy. If I am not mistaken it came with only one minifig wearing a hardhat. I guess I got it in the early eighties before I got my first electric Lego-train. Does this ring any bells with one of you?

I really enjoy reading all your plans and the ideas given to you by other people. And I am jealous of the room you have to build it all. Way back in the day when I used to build with my Lego I was rally fond of trains. I tried to find a picture of my elevated station with a busterminal beneath it but like so many things I probably didn't take a picture. Maybe you could use your tunnel as part of a elevated station? (just a suggestion). Then you could let a road pass underneath it beside the tunneltrack. But keep up the good work and I am certainly coming to watch how it is going.

Some really nice techniques used here. A couple I haven't seen and used before so I am surely going to give them a try. The basic foundations is a technique I have used since I was a kid. It makes it easier to elevate your buildings or to give the contruction extra strength where needed. Also you can hide your powerlines and motors in it. Can't wait to see more so keep it up.

Really nicely done - it almost looks and feels like the OP-toy from G1 I used to own. Way back when I was just a young kid. Reminds also off the efforts I took to build the Decepticon jets from Lego: they could change form from robot to jet but they didn't look anything what you have created.
