Time for a break from building trains... I thought it was time for a more detailed truck for our layout so I had a go at a model I built as a plastic kit when I was a bit younger.

NIR (Northern Ireland Railways) MPD (multipurpose diesel) railcar. Built between 1957 and 1962. The last being withdrawn in 1983. I'm gradually going back in time with my builds. Might even get onto a steam one some of these days.

Just need to buy some NIR transfers for the sides.

Always fancied trying to build a bus. So here is my Moc of an Ulsterbus from the late 70’s, early 80’s.

Don’t know whether above links will work, can seem to find usual links in Flickr to share.

If anyone has any recent MOCs that they would be interested in seeing on our Facebook page as a cover photo please PM me and if it is suitable (resolution/ photo quality etc.) one of the Facebook Admins will put it up. We'd like to showcase MOCs of different members where there is a selection of MOCs to choose from.

It should be a lot longer and deeper, but I wanted to fit it into one table wide, also budgetary constraints. So everything was greatly compressed.

Following the release of Barracuda Bay last year, I got the pirate bug and worked on these. I finally got around to uploading them today. First, a Bluecoat ship to challenge the pirates:

Next, this fort which uses the classic white and yellow colour scheme of the soldier outposts from the original Pirates sets. I thought this raised baseplate from the Knights' Kingdom II castle would be useful for pirate mocs if it was surrounded by water.

Finally, when I removed the ship sections of Barracuda Bay to build the ship itself, I decided to build a new base for the pirates on the empty islands taking inspiration from the original design of the set.

I designed this in stud.io almost a year ago. Finally got the last parts the week before last in a couple of Bricklink orders and got it built over a couple of evenings this week.

Although I originally designed it in the new green and dark green livery, I thought the old lime and dark blue was a much nicer look, so since there are still plenty of them in operation in those colours I've stuck with that. Perhaps one day I'll make another in green and dark green and run them in a mixed-livery double-header, as frequently seen on the Maynooth line

This is my first time building a train MOC - in fact I only got my first Lego train last summer when Argos had 60197 on special offer - so I'm delighted with how it turned out and amazed that it actually runs smoothly!

Hi Everyone,

I'm excited to share my MOC here with you all.
It is one of the finalists on the Lego Ideas "Do you want to go to the seaside?" competition.
If it wins the public vote it will be a future Gift With Purchase - I'm hoping for an Irish win

Our member LegoLeprechaun who some of you may have met a few years ago in Cork when he displayed his Ninjago layout has been very busy

Some incredible stuff there, especially the batcave and Wayne Manor sitting on top of it.

Hi everyone,
I've just finished making the school in which I teach. It's as I see our school in about a year's time, when all this Covid madness has hopefully disappeared, hence no hand sanitisers and fully active classes with no social distancing!
I began making the structure in August and finished most of it by Christmas. I then worked on the interiors of the specific rooms (Library, PE Hall, Computer Room, Staff Room, etc.) and furniture in all other rooms.
The last big job was to fill it with minifigures. I tried to make it more interesting by having different classes engaged with different activities, in most cases whatever accessories I happened to have dictated the activities, such as Jedi training, Ninja training, wizard training and so on. I tried to think what would the children in the school love to do, and my 7 year old boy was a great help with this!

This is an aerial view of most of the school, I'm not tall enough to get a shot that fits it all in.
