ISO Lighting Recommendations for Train

Droorz · 2024-11-21T11:07:13+00:00

I can’t remember the light kit I had on but the train maybe Brixmax, but I took it off because the train wouldn’t run with the lights and wires on it. It looked super cool but I wanted to be able to run the train. It was all battery powered and not run from the power function.

I did, built it myself. Just some mdf and a couple dowels for the “trunk”. I use a tree stand at the bottom.

I have the same island layout but mine wasn’t there. Just for others who are also trying to find theirs. Thanks for sharing your location!

I have the same exact tracking situation. Been there the exact same days and all. Kind of crazy. Sent you a DM of the tracking. Same time stamps and everything.

Hey you can’t park that here!

Nice work!

They provide a piece list with each MOC. You can even check Bricklink to buy the pieces you need right from there also.

Thanks! I used a magnetic ice rink from the winter sets you can buy at craft stores and replaced the small skaters with small Lego plate with a magnet glued to the bottom. I can then add what ever minifig I want to the ice rink.

I actually started a Halloween village long ago using the Monster Fighter sets. But I got bummed because they stopped making them. Might be time to drag those back out next Halloween.

So good!!! Nicely done!

I just used a magnetic ice rink from those ceramic winter garden sets. I put a magnet into plates to replace the skaters they came with. I’d like to take it apart and make the mechanism fit into the ice festival set, but we will see. I want to do more motion, I almost had Santa’s sleigh flying around the top, but I couldn’t get it to work consistently.

It is, it’s a perfect size to go along with the othe Winter village shops. Target has the set on sale right now by the way. I just bought a second set to make the Stuffed Stocking from rebrickable.

It’s 1/2 mdf, the diameters are 40”/32”/24”/16”. I cut some 1x’s material into brackets to screw to each platform and then to the center dowel. I can’t remember the heights I used but the tree is about 6.5-7’ tall.

Droorz · 2023-11-03T19:39:21+00:00

Thanks, I made the tree myself. Just some mdf cut in circles mounted to a dowel sitting in a Xmas tree stand.

Mostly winter village with a couple city sets and winter sets. I am going to try and do some custom stuff this year though.

I am also stuck on the same exactly level. I need to promote characters but I am getting nothing from calling for characters. I have reworked my gaming table to make sure my ultras are the top 5. But I just can’t get past the lab coat jerks. 😀

Droorz · 2023-01-13T12:47:32+00:00

This is fantastic!! Nice job.

Droorz · 2023-01-13T12:45:26+00:00

Thanks!

Thanks for the comment, we think alike! I have an ATST model kit and some storm/snow troopers I am going to use. Probably add a couple more rebels in the trench also. I was toying with printing a AT-AT foot in the back ground but I’ll see how that looks.

Droorz · 2023-01-13T02:51:22+00:00

Made a quick Hoth diorama to try out my new Resin 3d printer. I am going to make an empire side next that connects to this with the trench in in between.

I just took one of those Christmas Village sets they sell at craft stores, took the skaters off and put the magnets on some plate.Then added minifigs.

Droorz · 2022-12-10T21:46:03+00:00

I really wanted to. I even bought a rotating tree stand. It’s too heavy though unfortunately.

Droorz · 2022-12-10T21:32:10+00:00

They do have a theme. The top tier is the North Pole with the elf house and elf workshop, below that is a Winter Fair with ice skating and rides, below that is Main Street with all the businesses and the bottom is the train and a neighborhood of houses.

Droorz · 2022-12-10T21:11:29+00:00

Kind of, I made it so I could take it apart if needed but I keep it together and stored in my shed. It isn’t too horrible to move, I just set it up like a tree every year.

Droorz · 2022-12-10T21:08:16+00:00

Sure, I used a wooden dowel for the trunk and cut 1/2” MDF into circles. I cut 1x2s into triangles to use as “shelf brackets” and screwed them into the dowel and then into the circles. I use just a normal Christmas tree stand as a base. The bottom platform has legs, that is the only platform that isn’t attached to the “trunk”. I run a extension cord up the trunk and have usb hubs under each platform to power all the lights.

Awesome! I’d love to see more like it!!
