I am still hoping that they come out with a D2C village set for NK. I am crossing my fingers for a fall release, if not there is always next year.

I like the dark red / tan colour scheme. The brick techniques aren't too bad either.

tricksy... tricksy. New part number for the same element. Poor Bricklink sellers.... :p

Nope. They are sold out again.

I am sorry that I'm bringing up this topic from a couple months ago, but I am 95% done with my version of the Maersk.... in Medium Azure. Just missing a few parts here an there that I accidently forgot to order. I had the plans done up a few months ago, but I was waiting since May to get all the parts for it (that I ordered). I also apologize for the slightly large, blurry photo down below. http://www.brickshel...un/100_1631.jpg

my favorite trains are the metroliner, sante fe superchief, and the maersk. I don't mind the Emerald Night, I'm just not that into steamers. The Metroliner and Club car are a good pairing and make a pretty good train to run. The Superchief isn't too bad, but a bit long (and pricey) to run if you want to do it right. (To be authentic, you would have to have 4 engines and a bunch of pullman cars) The Maersk, one is definitely too small, so you might have to buy another one or slowly build your own container cars. Again, with the Emerald Night. It isn't too bad of a train, but having only one carriage with the set is disappointing. It would have been sweet if Lego would have released a stand-alone set for the carriages. And it doesn't help that the train windows in tan are horribly expensive.

that boat is soo adorable. Good modification. The station looks quite nice. I enjoy the fire apparatus.

This is my favorite Lego Inside Tour set that has come out. The train set is my 2nd favorite, but I LOVE this one. Thanks for showing it off, and recreating the stickers for this.

I looked on the website, and while the set is not available (yet?) in North America, you can buy replacement parts for most of the set.

You got to start somewhere, If you don't have any train sets, I recommend a starter set like the Red Cargo Train or the current City (Blue) Freight Train. The Maersk train is nice, and if you really, really want it, I'd buy it as soon as possible. Worst comes to worse, you can always buy rolling stock on Ebay or Bricklink or wait until the Heavy Haul train goes on sale and make your own rolling stock.

Now that's the helicopter worth buying.... The dolphin tanker and the skidsteer are also pretty good. Way to channel the inspiration of the heavy haul train into the friends model.

The 2015 summer wave of city sets are out (at least in North America). Where is the train??? Personally, I would have settled for the subway looking train.... maybe for 2016? (pretty please) If we have to have a helicopter train car, let the helicopter at least look semi-coool. If you are going to do a "vehicles" train set, how about doing a true Maintenance-Of-Way train. Ben

what about that dreaded OVEN!!! :D

If you are expanding your metroliner, you might as well think about getting a club car (or two).

good promo video for the event:

we could hold out for a power functions micromotor.... :)

judging by the price point.... 4,99 Eur / 6.99 US, I'd say too small to be too enjoyable.

do we really need another passenger train set. We need to get a new cargo train line.....

Its a nice large ship and you made some great changes to make it even better. Upon reading the comments, I have to agree, it is a bit too static on the sides. You should probably have a couple of slopes towards the bottom to make it a bit rounder.

The sets this year aren't that impressive. The tree delivery truck (2nd promo) has some potential modding a la hot rod club.

can you tell me how to get to sesame street... yup. that does look a lot like Mr. Hooper.

Chemin de Fer Ouest West Train Station.... :)

nice find. good deal.
