This engine was initially built to run with Dfenz's carriages but that never really worked, partly because of the M-motors in the engine.
I've recently rebuilt it to use the PF L-motor and as I did that I decided to put it into MLCad as well.

New small thing, because I got Stay Puft Marshmallow Man minifigure from Fun Pack Lego Dimensions.

Gallery Flickr.

I decided that after rebuilding my class 201 it should have something to do. Rather than build the same carriages that Dfenz already has I thought I'd do some freight cars. After some searching I found pictures of 'spoil cars' that are used for maintenance and I liked the colour scheme of them.

The model is mostly done but the underside still needs a bit of work:

Here's my latest MOC. I imagine it will be quite popular at the model railway shows.

My latest Lego creation-- The Iconic Abbey Road Cover--The Beatles

Took a long time to find the right hair/beards, still not really happy with faces or outfits but best I could find for now.

Hope you like.

Recent moc mod of 60098. Looks similer but most panels are changed. Getting the orange cab pieces was not easy but worth it in the end. Iv just started a new layout so I'll get more pictures up when i get more done.
Iv since changed side windows to 1 instead of the double. Also it looks good with horizon express cars behind which look like our mk3 Irish rail cars anyway.

Something well out of my comfort-zone, built for the 100th Lugnuts challenge. This is a vehicle from a video game called Twisted Metal.

It's got a full set of Power Functions inside, and steering is done with an adder/subtracter mechanism rather than simply one motor for each side.

Created a moc for my Church showing what happened during Easter or Holy Week.

Hope the links work ok to my Flickr page, never tried this before and just set it up. There are a couple of photos on flickr showing some of the scenes.

Earlier this week brick.ie member Oiley assembled his latest historic recreation of the 1916 Easter Rising in LEGO for Amfenz's class at Two Mile House NS - I was the supporting act.

Hi guys!

In the 19th century the Brothers Grimm traveled all around Germany collecting local fairy tales and publishing them later.

I chose to represent their efforts by showcasing various different fairy tales that they are more or less responsible for. The left page opens to Hansel and Gretel, the right to Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
I also placed references to four other fairy tales in the model - can you spot them?

Built for the Brickstory 2016 contest that Kockice is hosting. Thanks for the fun contest!
(Yes, photography-wise its not my best. Apologies, I have a busy schedule these days.)

Looking forward to hearing what you think of it!

Best
