Looks good so far , I like the cargo cars . the engine is kinda retro blacktrony . I was thinking something more in dark gray and gray maybe .

Have you fooled with color schemes ?

Color schemes

Post by Dj_Max »

Naw I haven't, but I just wanted to put my old translucent yellow to work. And what better way to set it off than with black bricks.

Oh, did I mention that I got those old translucent yellow bricks in that 7000 pcs score I got for $200??? :lol:

After changing the bricks, the look of the train, and talking with Brickhead about different designs, I came up with another train loco.

It is very low to the ground, so low actually, that it doesn't clear those little bricks that feed the power to the tracks... oops! :oops:

Anyway, here are the updated pictures with my new digital camera... please bear in mind that I am still learning the functions of this camera...

...here's the link...

Well, it's ok if there are some cars behind it, without them, it teeters on and off the tracks, slowing it down
