richard brown Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Hi All For my YouTube channel I will be doing a video a day over in December from the 1st the 25th. 3 videos I will be doing is charismas ideas for the modeller in 3 price ranges around £10, Around £50 and no £75 and upward so can I ask for people ideas and if you could include a link to where to buy that would be very helpful. I will be providing 3 or 4 idea’s per video so not all ideas will be a used but If you idea is include I will be saying who came up the idea. The dead line is the 19th of October Thank you for you time and ideas. I have a link to my YouTube channel at the bottom of my posts Thank You Richard Brown Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozexpatriate Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Family fun with the LEGO 10254 "Winter Holiday Train" for £69.99. Modellers could buy two and make it look like the American 4-4-0 it is meant to be instead of the silly 4-2-0 configuration in the set. (With two sets there would enough wheels for a 4-6-0 but you'll need more bricks to do that.) With extra components it can be configured with LEGO power units to be self-propelled with remote IR control. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spare wheels are available on Brickowl, but at £10 per axle they must be the most expensive model wheelsets out there... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozexpatriate Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 If you've bought two sets you'll have more bricks. Yes, but not necessarily the 'right' ones. It might come close. the problem is with that with the longer wheel base a different frame arrangement may be needed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
