peterab Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 Thanks for getting back to me. I'm not so much as worried about the instructions....just curious to get a detailed view of the models that were created. I'm new to Lego Trains, but I've always had a fascination with trains since I was a child. I actually just received the Lego Hobby Train a few minutes ago. I wrote Lego about possibly bringing back the My Own Train series, but they said it would be up to their design team to make that choice. I'm actually looking for some really good flat car instructions if you guys know where I might find them....free of course. :) As far as instructions go the best site I know is Railbricks. I'm not sure about flat cars but at a guess I'd say you'd be likely to find an American styled one there. For official instructions I like to use Peeron. Most of the train community don't make instructions as such, but will often show tricky techniques off in their photo sets on flickr and brickshelf. You get pretty good at reverse engineering from photos after a while. There are a few exceptions; do a search for Ben on brickshelf, most of his train folders include ldraw files which you can use to recreate the model. Quote

grynber09 Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 You're right! :'-) I've uploaded all instructions to my account. Have fun! Jeb! Am a bit late, but thanx for these pdfs! 10183 is still having fans like me, may I can put the new train power function motors an stuff in! Somebody just tried? Listening! grynber09 Quote

Here's my (slightly modified) Hobby Train 5 with PF added: No 22 looks like it should be okay too but others will be more of a challenge. Quote
AndyC Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 Using Holodoc's PDFs (a shocking example of how bad LDD printed instructions were!), the original LDD models and a lot of patience, I've produced updated versions that work correctly in Lego Digital Designer 4. Hopefully this might help anyone else who still likes playing with this awesome set! Details, including minor errors, can be found in the Official Sets thread at http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=41226&view=findpost&p=911742 Quote

Those PDFs are truly horrible and it can't have been easy to see where the parts that LDD objected to were supposed to go. You've got a few errors in the numbering in the first six entries but it's sorted out by number 7. Jonathan Edited January 27, 2011 by Snapshot Quote
AndyC Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 (edited) Great work, Andy. Those PDFs are truly horrible and it can't have been easy to see where the parts that LDD objected to were supposed to go. You've got a few errors in the numbering in the first six entries but it's sorted out by number 7. Thankfully I only had to use them to work out which bricks were missing as LDD did a reasonable job of the import on the whole. I genuinely don't think it would be possible to build some of the models from that PDF alone, the old LDD HTML instructions bordered on useless. They're a lot better, though not perfect, in LDD4 and I'll certainly be making myself a new bunch just in case the process needs repeating when LDD5 comes along! Good spot on my wonky numbering, now fixed. Edited January 27, 2011 by AndyC Quote
BelValcor Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 Thanks for the great job AndyC. I have copies of the pdf files but they jusssst don't do the job (although they were better then nothing). Bel Quote
g0isw Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 Thank you all so much for this forum thread. I have just today 26th August 2011 bought a new Lego Hobby Train (10183) set for my daughter (and me too ) and would not have been able to go ahead and build all 30 train models without the instructions you have all provided on here. I have my old 1970 blue track and have recently purchased a lot more. Looking forward to getting going and adding Lego Power functions to the trains too. All the best Philip Quote
dbocock10 Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 (edited) Thank you for pointing that out, Brickster! I have changed the link and it should work now. The new link is http://cid-c55c2a3e1.....ons 10183.zip. For safety reasons, the file is protected by a password, which you can find on my profile page under "Interests". This is to ensure that my files are not put anywhere but here at Eurobricks. I hope this is alright with admins and moderators? NOTE: Please see updated mirror site below. i got the file but cant locate your profile page for the password. Edited October 22, 2013 by dbocock10 Quote
dwarl Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 Bit late to join the party, but anyone still have all the PDF files for the 30 models? That would be much apreciated. Quote
Rail Co Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 Welcome to Eurobricks dwarl! Just so you know this post is about 6 years old! So please do not reopen a topic that old. Here is the last known link I have: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=328898 (I believe that Brickshelf is down at the time of this post) Enjoy! -Railco Quote
BritishLocoFan Posted November 13, 2020 Posted November 13, 2020 Does any one have any alternatives too this set that are not listed on the box. I am planning to get this set in the future from a friend and want to build more also has anyone tried to make a snow plow with this set. Thanks! Quote
Duq Posted November 14, 2020 Posted November 14, 2020 Replying to an old topic with a different question is not really appreciated. Please start a new thread with your question. Quote
