I live near Christchurch in the South Island of New Zealand where I am retired and spend time playing my 'train room' were we have a layout in Lego. We started collecting Lego in 1973 so we have all generations of these 'toy' trains. Some are battery on plastic rails, some a powered from metal rails and later models are infrared and battery powered again on plastic rails. I have started to introduce DCC++ to the land of the mini figures and I look forward to discussing this aspect of the world of model railroads. John 4-4-4s are pretty scarce in the real world but anything is possible in Lego.. There is always need for repairs and routine maintenance! Downtown is very cluttered but there are a few trains in the picture and a monorail is a regular sight! John
The Crocodile is one of those trains without which a layout is never complete but maybe one day I will build one too!
Welcome to Trainboard! Holy moly, that's quite a set up you have there!! Every train show over here in the States always has a big Lego display and it's just mesmerizing what can be done!
