Reply to ""O" gauge trains and LEGO"

No, the Steelers station is Mth.  It was part of a static display in the living room until a recent spectacular debacle that ended a mildly promising football season.

Back to Lego.  The buildings are all lego kits.  Some of the smaller Hogwarts ones are actually my wife's.   They have collected over 7 or 8 years. The firehouse was definitely my favorite for one large structure.  One of the other really fun builds was the detective office.   There's a pool hall and a barbershop on the first floor that I really enjoyed.   Back when I was part of a modular o gauge display group I would bring the building and set up a real city block.  It was always a big hit with kids and parents.

I am quite fascinated with starting to make O gauge compatible lego rolling stock.   The big issue is of course the gauge.  I think I have a solution for rolling stock worked out like I said above.   Eventually I would love to making a full working locomotive from lego for O gauge.   There are lego motors but they are lower voltage and not cheap!

I did get the latest lego crocodile,  because at just under $100 it was too cool to pass up.  The motor / battery kit is close to another $100 I think.  I passed on that.  I think I am just an early adapter.  Brick model railroader's bearing selection and new Kadee mounts are a game changer.
