THIS IS THE TEST SITE OF EUROBRICKS!

Hello! My name is Stefan

Posted November 25, 201311 yr

Hi all,

Lets introduce myself.

I'm Stefan, married, 30 years old, and live in the Netherlands (Breda to be a bit more precise).

A few weeks ago I started again with Lego, after I got the idea to interface Lego with small microcontrollers. For this cause I purchased some technic stuff and Lego Power Functions components. Because I kept on lacking bricks, I went to my father who still has loads of stuff from my childhood on his attic.

Here I found a lot of dust combined with Lego. I collected this, took it home, and found out I got a few interesting pieces. Regretfully I used my teeth a lot on Lego when I was a child (especially on small plate bricks) some bricks are a bit damaged, and I didn't find any booklets with building instructions, but I actually found out that I had at least 5 sets for trains; Lego Metroliner (4558), Level Crossing (4539), Load N' Haul Railroad (4563), Metro Station (4554) and Road N' Rail Repair (4525).

Although I'm missing some bricks, and others are damaged after more then 20 years, my first mission will be to build and complete those 5 sets, starting with both trains.

Ohh that's close. I live near the border with Terheijden.

For now, I already built the three wagons of the Load N' Haul Railroad set, and by doing so I only lacked 5 bricks. Not that bad.

Still have to do the other parts of the set (the locomotive, forklift and minifigures). I also designed an extra wagon for that set that can hold the LPF battery and infrared sensor, so I can use both trains simultaneously, but that's for a next stage; I'm going to order those bricks at the same time I'm going to complete all 5 sets.
