legodac Posted July 10, 2011 Posted July 10, 2011 Most say The Water Tower is their favorite of my Traincreations I say the Pony Truss is mine, I think it is in a smallway, my greatest achievement. The design on the original LDD was to say the least,very time consuming. Getting the angled bricks to do what I wanted, thenattaching the super structure was indeed a job in itself. When I got the model in the mail, I immediately satdown at my desk and ripped open the bricks within. I opened the stored LDD instructions and began tobuild Wow, and I thought the design was hard, buildingproved to be 3 times as hard, I felt at times wishing for a third hand! Once finished, I decided to place it in a centrallocation, one that would always have daylight, placed in the center of thelayout and seen first when you walk in the room. My Truss is an original, to me anyways and I thinkit’s good enough to be something special. In my opinion, my finest hours… Coming soon, my BNSF Transformation Quote
lightningtiger Posted July 10, 2011 Posted July 10, 2011 Now I can say both and AWESOME at the same time 'legodac', quite stable is it ? And there's a lot of brown in it ? Needs a paint job, though is it rusty iron or timber construction.....I can see it's old school North American in design....I'm I right ? Anyway, wait to the likes of Sava, Brickster and the rest of us train-tech's see it....very impressive bridge ! Brick On 'legodac' ! Quote
mrblue Posted July 10, 2011 Posted July 10, 2011 well, what to say? a very good and useful build! too bad it has not enough support to be a real bridge, but it can be fixed with a bunch of bricks and plates! I can easily understand why it has been time consuming, but the result is worth every second spent! waiting to see your next creation! have a nice train lego day mrBlue Quote
peterab Posted July 11, 2011 Posted July 11, 2011 I really like this idea. The sides have a chunky heavy engineering feel to me. I particularly like the vertical rods. Quote
legodac Posted July 11, 2011 Author Posted July 11, 2011 I have some good news, though it may just be good to me, at least those who want design instructions from LDD, will be able to get them. I now have the 4.1 on my laptop, cool eh! Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 Legodac, I'm always speechless when I see your outstanding creations! That bridge is absolutely amazing! Quote
