October 29, 200717 yr Once again time to revive a thread: Nothing wrong with reviving this thread! *wub* I am very interested in 10183, the digital instuctions don't bother me, but I do see Holodoc's point. Not a deal breaker for me though as if I bought it I would be MOCing with it anyway.
October 29, 200717 yr Author Stay tuned for Issue #2 of Railbricks. One of my writers is working on this very article!-Jeramy Hi Jeramy, I bought the first issue in print and absolutly loved it. I'll surely buy the second one aswell. more plans using the 10183 are always welcome :)
June 18, 201113 yr Time to revive this thread. Mainly because it is general discussion of L-Gauge trains. Well I finished building my BNSF and I must say I am quite impressed with the overall size and detail. The only thing is the can is a bit flimsy I might replace the jumper plate with a 1x6 in orange because I don't peak in there that often. Now the only two things on my mind are PFing it and rolling stock. For PF I am going to mess around alot once I break out my new PF stuff. I will probably go the route of battery box and IR receiver in a box car behind it. For rolling stock I am looking into TTXs and MOCing (as soon as Hinckley gets me the stuff) the Reefer Car from "Getting Started with LEGO Trains". I wish the MOT were cheap as I don't pay double or triple for a parts build, yes Hopper Wagon parts build. On my to do list is also a Train Engine Shed unless TLG gives us a new one, which yes they should by the way. I also picked up a Super Chief (ouch) and not sure when I will find the time to build it. Already planning on getting the cars (double ouch) I need to stock up on PF track aswell. I just wish they would make the "+" track in plastic. Now as for the current sets I would say are great there are currently 4 (soon to be 5) Trains and 2 trackside structure, plus nice track selection at the LEGO store. Enough rambling on though. I need to take some pictures too for fun.
June 18, 201113 yr I'm a great fan of this american train , but I don't own this set because I think it doesn't fit perfectly in my "too much european" train collection. Now that I'm seeing this fantastic wagon on the old 12 volts rails I feel a strange sense of exaltation!!!
