Before I start with putting pic's here, first a little story so you understand why I rebuild modern sets. I collect or have all trains form grey 12v of the years 1980-1991. And a little 9v, like the metroliner 4558 and Sante Fe. To make the layout prettier with modulair houses and sets of classic town of better known as miniland. Also found Starwars and Harry Potter, because I like these themes. The new sets of the modern city, the cars & trucks are 6nops wide. The trains I have are also 6nops wide. Cars & trucks are never more wide than trains. I like to keep mine trains orginal, so the modern cars & trucks had to make smaller. The first project I working on is set 60118. I love the set and colors. It isn't finished yet, but pieces are ordered. I wonder what you poeple think of it and if you don't like it, no problem. I do it anyway . Just Click here and see the pic's.

Hi guys, I love apple Iphone and Ipad. Offcourse I love the LEGO covers of Belkin and mine Iphone has this cover already. I'm looking for the LEGO Ipadcover for mine Ipad 4 4th generation 9.7inch form 2012. When I use google I get only form the Ipad mini, but I don't have the mini :P . Who can help me with finding or maybe have this cover for me?

Thx for the reply's. The changes are the tracks, I used original LEGOtracks instead of those from costumbricks. And the outside wheels are move around when the tank move. And I glued a few pieces together, otherwise it will 'break' easily. I guess my changes are well done :) .

It's been a long time I've been active at this site. But I would like to share this moc which I build recently. It's based at the building instructions of custombricks, which is modified a little. I can tell a lot with words, but pic's say more. The first tank I made is de Tiger 2 of WO2: These tanks were the best in WO2, but the germans didn't have the numbers and most tanks were already out of service because there wasn't enough fuel to be in action. If in action, they were no match for the Sherman tanks. It took around 6 sherman tanks to take out one tiger tank. It had a 88mm canon and could take out an armored unit of 1,5km distance. I would like to make an interior, but it's complex build which make it impossible. I modified the track a little, which best is seen at pic below. In this way all wheels will turn around when pushing. I hope you like my tanks. Here during construction: I've also busy the build the famous Tiger 1 tank in tan color.

It's been a long while, but I'm still alive and started to build, expand and rebuild the layout. I can't make little pic's with links anymore? To see progress what's going on, check this link (as soon it's online): http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=561548

Very interesting how you made this. I love to see this in real life how this works. Keep up the good work.

I have too many trains, I guess 35. Wanna buy one ?

Nice review. And what you get, when you put 4 cars behind eachother at 9v track?

Nice idea. But remember you can't see much what's under the 1ste floor. I'm busy to build a brigde, which is already in use. It works perfectly and maybe you can use some for your own layout.

I finally get my hands on an Enlighten train. One loc en 2 wagons, only €30,-. Lego train are 4x more expensive........ And with the present economic is fallen down, this is a nice good looking train set to buy. Too bad Lego hasn't have these sets anymore. The quality is good and mine runs at 12v . Inner view of the loc itself: And the innerview of the wagons: And if I had kids, I properly would buy this sooner than real Lego, because it's much cheaper.

I made something funny. Pic's say more than 1000 words :D : Set 6678 Set 6678 with link treads: This is how's made:

To mine opnion your bridge is a bit 'blocky'. I like the style of station 7822 more. That's a difference of opnion .

I bought the New knight bus yesterday and properly there are more people who have the old version also. But if you don't get enough of if : And the drivers of both buses:

Looks good and in the style of set 7824. Why didn't you use the bridge of set 7822?

At the top, between the studs you can see a red dot or a yellow one. The red one is a 4V motor and the yellow one the 12v motor.

Great review. It's a good looking model and inside also looks good. Only bad those front wheels can't steer.

Slowly & steadily the brigde is getting there as designed: And also finished is this shell tanktruck with stickers: Also in Exxon version: And this is the orginal version:

I've all 12v trains of the grey area and a some 9v ones too, which you can see here: In totall it's about 31 trains. I sold 2.

A great moc. Very good looks and a lot of work for using the colors like that. job.

I used springs, for real stopping if it goes wrong. Here the design of how it works and it works perfectly. They stop the train with slow speed. Here at bottom-right you can see where I used them: And at the end of those 4 trains, they're placed:

The traintrack is connected, but still unsafe to use the brigde for the train right now: And I bought the big truck of cars. It will be the only sets of cars together with Classic Mater. I realize it's a bit form everything of the theme's of LEGO. I need to organize it and make choices to keep it logic.

A little update. The first ramp is connected to the track and the 12v trains are climbing up very easily, where the 4,5v train has little trouble to climbing up. I can't wait to finish the brigde.

It's beginning taking shape, the brigde project. I can say a lot, but pictures say more . The first climbup is done. A 4,5v train is climbing up slowly. I hope the 12v trains have more power to get up easily. The brigde itself which is almost finished. And everybody's problem, always short on parts . The first expense I do is a lpg-installation in my Renault Twingo. Fuelprices are very high at the moment and it will only get more expensive. Then I order slowly some more parts to finish the brigde project. I need to add the red carriage somehow in mine layout. Any ideas form you people?

I bought set 4182 and place it in mine layout of the first pirate sets. And this is the result: And has Jack Sparrow a new ship? And Will Turner is at the french fort. And a overview how the layout is now at present.

Her you go and thx you like the layout. Yes it's the TRU special. I'm a bit tired there's so much sets coming out now, I think I won't buy it. Thx you like mine layout too.
