Brickshelf user "hidaka" made this cool idea for track for the new mini trains creator set. One could probably also use this idea for some neat minifig-scale narrow gauge track...

Just your basic Lorry

noreply@blogger.com (matt) — Wed, 31 Oct 2007 19:12:00 +0000

Brickshelf user "Basic" made this beautiful lorry. My favorite part is the fenders on the front; it's an excellent use of the old school capes. The functional steering is pretty cool too. Oh, and happy Halloween, anons.

The bitch is back (kind of)

noreply@blogger.com (Gambort) — Fri, 19 Oct 2007 04:46:00 +0000

OK people. So I've been gone for awhile and whatever. You know, moving countries and shit will eat time and having your laptop break also makes posting kind of hard. Anyway I'm typing with a hangover just to wave and whatnot.

See yas.

PS. These make my cock hard

Beating a Dead Horse

Since this place has been deemed "dead" I'm going to do one of those shameless self-plugs.

Eskabon was EATEN!

Enjoy poking your pants.

Damn you , Swoofty and your dark blue

noreply@blogger.com (matt) — Mon, 09 Jul 2007 03:51:00 +0000

BS user Swoofty has been making some lovely 6wide trains as of lately. His most recent, an EMD E7 unit is a great upgrade of the official version (although the official is an F unit). His use of window panes as steps is my favorite detail. Although nothing particular sticks out in the coach, it's still rather nice.

Be sure to check out his GE ES44DC and SD70ACe as well, the high traction trucks on the former are excelent.

EDIT: I seem to have missed his WIP BNSF Dash-9 loco. It's looking nice so far, I can't wait to see what he comes up with.

It should be dark bley and have six axles but whatever.

Why I quit CSF

noreply@blogger.com (Gambort) — Fri, 25 May 2007 14:37:00 +0000

As some of you may know, I resigned my membership of CSF yesterday. The admin and friends (let's call them the CSFleet for short) have been, and probably will continue to, spread misinformation about this.

I quit because, in amongst a bunch of rules (posted by Chris Giddens) most of which seemed well-intended, was one which stuck out like a sore thumb: the banning of non-'pure' LEGO creations with a few exceptions to make modifications of the CSFleet fit the new rules. This came under a week after Chris and others in the CSFleet had launched a full-scale bullying attack on Nnenn for his use of clones, locking the thread after allowing Adrian Drake to get a last word in. Ironically soon after this earlier attack I had PMed Nnenn on the site to offer my sympathies, and, had suggested that if he were pushed out that I would join him in leaving. Little did I know that my suggestion would be tested so soon.

My decision to quit was motivated entirely by what I saw as bullying tactics by the CSFleet and their refusal to acknowledge that this was even a possibility. Chris grudgingly (from my reading) created a special forum for Clones and Mods (except those accepted by the CSFleet which could remain in the main forum) as a sort of segregated compromise which I found moderately acceptable however the accompanying description and ensuing 'justification' of the whole issue led me to believe that the compromise was nothing but a way to appease some members while maintaining the bullying attitude in officialdom and that this was something I couldn't be party too by remaining a member of the site.

So I quit.

As a side-note to the issue...

I freely admit that some of my actions in this thread weren't done in the best way myself. I have a habit of seeing the worst in people (myself and friends included) due to a strong cynicism of human nature. I probably should have been more quiet in my first response and I probably shouldn't have bothered arguing with Mark Sandlin's nothingisms. My first reply was not intended to be offensive but I can see how it could be taken as such. I should have kept some of my thoughts to myself or to private communication, rather than posting them on JLUG. I shouldn't have attributed to malice that which could have been explained by incompetence.

Many people have spoken out strongly in favour of Chris' motives and personality, and, as pointed out I don't know the guy. What I do know is from his online persona, and what I see is a proud, mostly benevolent but narrow-minded bully sitting at the center of a group of yesmen.

Tim

Addendum

The above was written while I was still quite angry over the events I mentioned and I'd like to take the time to correct some of what I've said. I should not have used the term or referred to the CSFleet as being involved in this. Subsequent activity has shown that for the most part this decision was Chris acting alone and that most of the attacks back at me were people defending their friend from what they percieved as an attack on character. Furthermore, the comment about yesmen was added to stir people and should never have been put there. I have also become convinced that Chris' activities were not intended maliciously. However, his refusal to budge, to accept what effect these actions have had, and to make the new system fairer, give an essentially identical result at the end.

Spencer Rezkalla makes beautiful seven-wide trains (and lots of other stuff). All I really need to say, check it out.

Take me home and love me.

They're made of... wood

noreply@blogger.com (Gambort) — Mon, 09 Apr 2007 23:12:00 +0000

Brickshelf user egunnero gets an awesome wood effect by mixing brown and reddish brown. I've always loved the potential of the new colours for subtle shade variations but this is probably the best use of it I've ever seen.

Tim David recently made a very nice cab-less SD45. The wheels are probably my favorite bit as well as the side vents and grilles. My only complaint has to be the herald, but the fact that it's brick built makes up for it. As you can see in the gallery, he also made a GP38-2B which, too, is simple yet awesome.
