Brick.ie The Irish Association for Adult Fans of LEGO®

Hi folks,
i've finished today my disco. Only tiles are missing now and Some more figures on the dancefloor.

Hi folks, sorry I've been away for a while, it's been an interesting year! Anyway, after a house move and a break from building, I've scratched the itch and started on a new layout, as always, with an extra challenge... I'm a train fan, and so yes, it's railway themed, and features 2 levels, each with 1 9v loop and 2 12v loops so I can run 6 trains. Been there, done that before I know. This time though, I'm building it across 4 separate boards that mean in theory at least it can be moved and displayed at shows etc. I say in theory, because each section will have to be tilted to get it out the door....

I've put a couple of pics on Brickshelf - http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=528346 and have set up a blog to go alongside it as a number of my friends aren't on the various Lego forums and want to keep track of it. The blog is here with more pics and detail - http://notmylego.blogspot.co.uk/.

Once it's complete and I know how mobile it is, or isn't...

Here's a tunnel I recently built that I mentioned to Dfenz at yesterday's meeting. It's built on a 48x48 baseplate with the "outer" track 8 studs in from the edge of the baseplate, with a clearing of 12 studs between each track. The archways are 10 studs wide so even 8 wide trains can pass through easily.

Hi all.
Sketching out my first project and wondering is it acceptable to use any glues and do any of you ever cut base plates to shape i.e. circles or are fully studded circular base plates available.
Im finding bricklink a bit complicated to find pieces.
Thanks in advance

I saw this on breakingnews.ie today.

Hugely impressive
