Re: WTB: Monorail straight tracks and station stop tracks.

Some have resorted to 3D printing them. They aren't found easily. That is for sure.

Re: Train Show 2022 MOCs in the works!

I shared it on the other side, but other people may be interested in the rotary dumper I’m planning on bringing to the show.

Re: Matt's GBC module thread.

You need to push your pontoons back a bit to trim up your boat. That way it can run on a more even keel.

Re: Coast Guard MOC

The last number of years it has been held in the PNE Forum building. It has been happening yearly.

It looks like mostly video on the websites. I don't post my pictures.

Re: Coast Guard MOC

Typically it's just been blue baseplates, but with the discussions about the MILS standards, we could also look into water texturing. I've got a bit of blue track that I used for moving the boat around this last Fall at the Train show.

Re: Coast Guard MOC

It may be something we could incorporate into the Train Expo layout in the Fall. If we can expand the water area even more this coming year, it could look fairly nice next to some other ships. I'll also be wanting a little more room to run my tugboat around.

70839 Rexcelsior on sale at Costco

In case you guys haven't blown all of your money on the recent sales on Lego, I think this is a pretty good price and interesting for parts selection. The extra $40 off is only good until the 24th.

Buy Deal

I found this site that seems to have a few sets for a pretty good discount from the normal retail. Shipping is not free, so may change the attractiveness of the pricing.

Re: Matt's GBC module thread.

That's just cool. Are you able to switch out the car for a covered wagon, or does it become too heavy for the mechanism? One of these would look great:
