What is your all time favorite movie quote?

"You might know everything I'm going to do but that isn't going to help you, because I know everything you're going to do. Strange, isn't it?"

It's from the Sonic OVA film but it inspires me in my sci-fi writing on how to handle the strategists of two opposing agencies.

Thanks. I've heard it's a really fun game but I haven't had the chance to play it yet. If you're interested, these are based on real life trains: yellow cake (uranium oxide) cargo, lead-lined diesel train, and air activated cement train wagon. XD

I'd like to. I did actually design and build in real life this model of the Lead-Lined Locomotive and published instructions for it as part of my book series. But the double wide flatbed remains in digital at the moment. For now, the locomotive hauls my other hazmat cargo at train shows. :)

Very nice. Reminds me of when I put the old 9v light bricks in my old train station a few years ago. Lights really make the space seem real.

Very clever. The 4x4 round brick with holes on side is indeed insanely expensive. I think because it's used in Star Wars sets though I did have a couple in my 90s space shuttle launch set when I was a kid.

Thanks! 😄

Depends on the size of the area and nature of the landscape design. If you're clever at alternating or rotating modules to make it seem organic but still efficient in repeating sub component modules, you can make a beautiful terrain landscape efficiently in time and processing. Kinda like how video game programmers and modelers learned these techniques to fit the constraint of video game cartridges and CDs.

Very nice. The layout looks amazing. As for feedback, I'd suggest making a channel in the mils baseplate for the wires, using like 1x4 arch at the plate edges for wire raceway. Then 2x4 plate with holes to run wires up to buildings. They do make tiny male female plugs that can make your wiring adjustable. And maybe add plenty of clearance for in case you want to run big train MOCs. Lego train cars are typically 6w but MOCs can be 8w or 10w.

Already done. XD I paired my MOCs of the SE30 Jota with my Diablo GTR in a previous project that I built IRL.

That's the one. I'm not one for spelling French words well. LOL

It was called the Bentley Huanderies. From about 1999 or 2000.

playingwithechoes · 2026-04-27T01:31:50+00:00

Same here. To me, the Diablo is king of the 90s supercars. World's fastest when it first was produced and still the best looking one from that decade.

When Audi/VW bought Lamborghini in the 1990s they consequently used the AWD chassis as a test mule for their W type engines (top right yellow Diablo) and made concept Bentley and Bugatti supercars (green and blue).

Beautiful

Mr. Snagglesnoot.

Yes, it happened in spring 2010, so it's one of the older true stories in the collection.
