Not sure if this is the correct place to post or whether it's been posted before, but I'm looking to light up my roller coaster... Just on the initial incline. I'd like a set of chaser lights running ideally. I know there's the likes of LifeLites etc, but I can't find anyone that does chaser lights. Any recommendations? Apologies again if this isn't the place to discuss this. TIA.

Congratulations, and I do not say that through gritted teeth! It is a great concept well delivered. However, I do have a bee in my bonnet about it being suitable for a Christmas market... Which was what the competition was about. I've seen stalls, games and rides in a German/Christmas Market, but never a model railway. Wouldn't it be a bit dangerous to have a (12v?) model railway exposed to the elements? Anyway, well done for getting second place. Much better than my measly one point!

Well, hopefully, those votes won't get counted! Although surprised at some of the choices for voting (as I feel they don't really capture the spirit of the 'Christmas Market'), I am glad that I have at least one point (more than I thought I'd get!!). My son likes my entry, and that is all that matters to me!

My choices are: 20. Gazumpty - 2 21. Darkblane - 2 53. Cara - 1 There were plenty of entries I thought that were in keeping with the market/fair/fete theme, which made I incredibly difficult to choose. But these were my favourites. Good luck to all entries!!

Looks amazing, but whether it fits into the theme of Winter Village Market, I'm not so sure... Good luck none-the-less

Thanks for all of your comments, but I'm not expecting big things with my entry. Especially when I see the recent submissions. That said, as it's my not only my first entry into one of these competitions, but my first real MOC, I'm happy with what I've made with the time and resources available. I'm always looking to expand my village with MOCs, so may contact some of you to ask if you are willing to share your instructions (if available) - after the results are in of course! There are some great builds entered and can see them fitting in nicely. I love the Market (one of the few, apparently), Have a great Christmas one and all.

Brilliant! Excellent idea... I love it! Good luck!

My inspiration for this was visiting the London Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park. I was originally going to try a traditional Helter Skelter, but as it is my first MOC, I found it tricky, so plumped for something a little simpler... The kids seemed to enjoy it - but then, so did the older 'kids!!! Hand rails... Gotta be safe climbing those steps! Others want to join in on the fun... My turn next!! Thanks for viewing!

Love it!! Well done! p.s. Don't enter the comp... Please! I'm putting the finishing touches to my entry which will hopefully be posted soon - and I want a chance to win!

I live 5 minutes away from HQ, but no jobs suitable for me!

Karting on ice is better! Local Rink did it a couple of years back!

Love it! I agree with the gondolla colo(u)rs and would like to add, that the orange and blue don't really do it for me (not even on the WV Carousel), but love it none the less. Brick on!

Excellent work! Care to share the instructions?

I'm a relative newbie to this site (although a lurker for some time) and I find laughable at the amount of "but it's just not fair" bemoaning here! So what if you had an idea in January and thought you would get ahead of the game? Tough! EB changed the rules!! I find it funny... Maybe you should have waited until the competition was published before putting brick to plate! That said, I do like seeing other people's MOC's and where instructions (and funds!) are available, have built them and incorporated them into my village. I've had an idea for this competition, but unfortunately do not have the time (nor the collection) to build it. If I do have the time, I may do a LDD version... But don't hold your breath . Good luck to all that enter! Remember - it's fun, not serious stuff!

Is there any reason that TLG don't produce more lights? I'd love to light up some of my models using PF, but I find the LEDs a bit harsh (too bright), or not appropriate. It would be helpful if they could produce a range of colours, maybe even flashing LEDs. I'm aware of some third party lights that will connect into LEGO, but there's not much choice with LEGO itself. I find that very disappointing!
