A while back in December 2024, my brother took 2023 set 60423 (Downtown Streetcar and Station) and recolored it in Studio into the classic red, white, blue, and light gray Metroliner (sets 4558 and 4547) color scheme from early days of LEGO 9V Trains. After seeing that image, I fell in love with it. So I asked him to take his model and tweak it a bit for me (as I don't use studio), with this being the result as built in real life. (Thanks bro for all the work you put into this!) I originally had a second middle car on this train, but the rolling resistance was so great it wouldn't move very far at all. So it was removed and scrapped. Side view. I added a second pantograph to the model as it always bothered my me the 60423 set just has one, while the dual setup is much more common on real trams. As an additional measure based on real world practices, I spread the electric pickups out by placing them on both of the cab cars. Inside view. The other drivers cab is not shown, but is identical to the one seen here. Thoughts?

Here is my take on modifying the Downtown Diner. I used two sets, and sort of mirrorbuild one set. The footprint is 56 studs. I widened the stairs on both sides with one stud to reach the 56 studs.

Well, I took parts and ideas from several sets and built a transit center. Now my lego city residents have one downtown station for access to monorail to the airport, red passenger local trains and horizon express commuter trains. You enter the station through one entry point and then proceed to either purchase tickets or directly to one of three separate platforms via a sky bridge. The station also has a city bus stop and bicycle parking. I though it turned out nice. The set 60050 train station released this year has some nice parts. What do you think?
