Heuston Train Station Dublin
Dfenz builds an amazing Train Station and shares it with us on Eurobricks:
Dfenz builds the Heuston Train Station
Some large MOCs hold back on the detail, but not this one. This is a huge SHIP (Seriously Huge Investment in Parts) and must be quite the labor of love for Dfenz. It was displayed at Dun Laoghaire (Dublin) model railway exhibition and you can see more pictures and join the discussion in this topic on Eurobricks.
PennLUG Steams Ahead
Tons of straight track pieces, elaborate loops and a truckload of 9V or PF motors… Who needs those if you can build such displays and have just as much fun?
Gorgeous smoke effect there.
I’m sure most of you are aware of Cale Leiphart‘s prowess when it comes to steam train building. This MOC makes it pretty obvious that such skills are even capable of making small(ish) static scenes come to life in style.
A Hobby for All Generations
Fellow blogger Dave, one half of the team that makes up ToT-LUG along with his lovely wife and LEGO Ambassador Stacy, spent the weekend at the 2010 La Crosse Model Railroad Show.
See it all!
Also in attendance were GMLTC and B&J Railroad. Oh, and the local news channel who decided to do a story on the show and interview Dave as you can see above. Pretty impressive, eh? Head over to Eurobricks to catch a link to the video and then say a few words to Dave about his awesome weekend, ok?
Great Western LEGO Show, UK

VISTAS in LEGO
LEGO train shows and displays are always “bigger than life”, especially this recent summer show at the Glenbow Museum in Calgary. Constructed by the Southern Alberta LEGO Users Group (SALUG), this spectacular display depicts scenes from the Canadian Pacific Railway. Brickshelf member Legomanbert shares images of the impressive display that includes a number of fantastic LEGO built details including a large bridge, steam boat, and train station; to name just a few. If you’re a train fan, make sure you check out some of the images of this spectacular layout.
Welcome to Bodville
What’s a Bodville you ask? Bodville is a personal web site of Eurobricks train fan Pe668. His web site offers a number of fantastic train displays from past to present, as well as some very complex and detailed Lego Train layouts. Pe668 has created custom trains and trackside structures including a bridge, station, and switching tower (to name just a few). It’s very relaxing and enjoyable to watch his trains pass through a number of layouts as he shares a few videos of his trains in action. Check out Bodville today.
Exporail 2009: Terrific Train Yard
Held in Montreal Canada, August 15-16, 2009, this terrific Train Yard was one of the numerous highlights of the outstanding train display. I wonder how many trains engines can fit within this huge train engine shed? What a great layout! – images from Brickshelf member Pbegin.
Emerald Night Lite!
Eurobricks member and Ambassador CopMike has minimized the Emerald Night into monorail form:
CopMike proves that sometimes smaller is better
This excellent little MOC/MOD was a highlight of the Fabuland Train Club display at this year’s BrickWorld. Check out CopMike’s thread on Eurobricks about his monorail madness!
PS-Now let’s just hope he starts a thread to talk about his cool train platform from the same display:
Will CopMike start a thread for this cool creation?
