Well, I know I haven't posted in a while. Life has thrown up some interesting challenges and upheavals over the last nine months, but my new year resolution is to get this blog back up and running and make it geekier than ever.
So, in the interest of sharing something geeky for the new year, here is my most recent project, the
Lego city cargo train.

 |
| A dozen or so bags of stuff! You will need about four hours to build this set or a few friends to help. |
 |
| It begins! |

 |
| Customary shot of Lego pieces scattered around |
 |
| The beginnings of a very garish looking base. This will become the engine carriage. |

 |
| Almost there |
 |
| Adding the 9V power supply |
 |
| The almost complete engine |
 |
| One of three cargo carriage sections. |
 |
| More space for cargo |
 |
| I love the detail on this |
Lego city cargo train comes with enough track for a reasonable oval circuit, however, I've added some extra track pieces so the whole route is a little longer.
Some videos of the train in action. First sped-up:

I hope you enjoyed this
Lego post. If so, you might like to see these other
Lego posts, or this
Lego Millenium Falcon, or
TARDIS. Maybe you just want
something completely different.
