After a few false starts putting together my LEGO railroad, I’m finally making progress. My first few starts failed because I kept short circuiting the track and trying to do complex stuff such as running 2 engines at the same time on different loops with 1 controller. I went ahead and ordered a second controller off eBay (still waiting for it) for < $10 shipped (new ones are over $40) so that I could have 2 independent tracks. One track being similar to an elevated (L) train in a city such as Chicago and the other being a freight train. To complicate matters, I wanted to have the freight train track cross my road sections as much as possible at right angles.
So while I still have a lot of work to do (I want to make the upper track go through a building and have to build some stations as well as more buildings and vehicles), I am making progress. I know that I’m crazy as I’m spending lots of time playing with a child’s toy.
Here are some pictures of my mess:
Hey I was just wondering if you knew the name of the white and green train set featured in your pictures as I’ve recently inherited it and am struggling to find the instructions. Thank you!
LEGO World City High Speed Train, set #4511. The instructions should be on LEGO’s site.
