Nice one. I must confess they do run well and aren't quite so fussy about dust on the track. These look like the later battery powered ones.

They are pretty pretty good runners. If only they weren't so expenive, hah

You might want to check this place out if you have continued interest in Lego trains - people post their own builds (MOCs), get ideas, post plans & ideas, techniques, etc.

There's group in Atlanta that makes trains out of LEGOs, and they're pretty impressive. Here's a link to a list of websites about LEGO trains.

It makes you think- What if Legos come to Trainz?

Just as well you are being humorous!

The little round things on top of the blocks would need too many polys, it would kill the performance.

Well not really. Most of the Lego sets nowadays have flat bricks. Its a smooth, flat brick. Unless you wanted to do what they did in the 70's or 60's where they didn't have those flat blocks...then yea, it would kill the performance.

Lego has small round things that stick up or at least mine does, they fit into the bottom of the next brick, its how it plugs together.

Have a look at yours again.

Thanks John

Must be a real pain to have to dust and clean around all of that track. Nicely trained dog at 0:55 that doesn't try to play with the passing train. Overall, wow, some people have a lot of patience to put it all together for a photo-op.

Yea that's true. If the creator wanted to do a full likeness of a Lego brick, they'd do the connectors. I was just talking about doing a partial likeness. Not making the train brick by brick you know?
