Somewhere along the way it broke, started costing money, or both, and I lost track of it.

It was an experimental car to see the viability of that propulsion system. Fifty cars were made for public use. A few remain, including one with comedian Jay Leno. This 8w Speed Champion sized model features many of the details as well as an interior and engine bay. The rear…Read more

They’ll be part of TUBS 2027 beside the lit Eiffel Tower on the front green space as the French Concours d’Elegance I’m working on at that one area between the two sets of outer loop tracks. The speed key does work on raising the rear wing.

Paired with it is a Peel Trident hauling a trailer with a spare “Sport” Reactor module for the Ford.
This is scheduled to go with the trains at CSC in January as part of my STEM mocs. 🙂

Good call for putting training video links in the menu for future reference. I love how well we all work together.

The LUG certainly has grown in 15 years. Crowkillers had a huge footprint for that show.

I see @juliamorley‘s ship in a REAL bottle, years before LEGO created set 21313. She’s a UPMC ER doc now.

I think the IKEA was built by @dc221803, who showed up in a search just THIS morning when I was looking for an image of LUG Doug. 🙂
