I am from Germany and my "subject" here on MOC is "-Town". Even though when I was younger, I played with pirates, knights and space ships as well, indeed, I am a fan of LEGO town because it gives you a multitude of things of our time or the past that you can create and put together to a town just as you like. "Town" is so multiple, so exciting. Almost all of my earlier town layouts were train layouts, too. As for me, a nice town always needs train tracks:)... I own tons of 12V train tracks and supply material such as lamps, signals, remote-controlled switches, crossings etc., three 12V train engines and lots of parts to build train cars. I also have the 9V grey high speed train, a few switches and tracks to build a bigger circle, etc. For combining the 9V and 12V circles, I created an interface where both tracks come together: from that point on, the central 12V conductor rail continued straight on in the midst of the metal 9V tracks until the next curve or switch. So both systems can be integrated in the same general body of train tracks! Unfortunately, I didn´t take much pictures of former town layouts or creations. The few ones I have are slides that I´m planning on digitalising as soon as possible. "Doing LEGOS", to me, means creating AND playing. That´s why I´m a fan of the minifig scale. When I build, I create my personal fantasy city just as I would like to find one. After building, I play and get "sucked" into this world; it´s like a substitute for things I probably won´t live in the real life. And that´s what I think is sooo fantastic about LEGOS! However, I do have a certain need for realism. Things should be "round about" realistic looking in my world: trucks should be wider than small cars, trains technically - even though I don´t have experience in building in the 8-stud-wide technique - should preferably be wider than trucks, etc. Sometimes though, you need to cut realism a little bit to preserve playability and integration into LEGO Town layouts. My way of building is a combination of or a compromise between realism and playability. I hope you´ll enjoy my MOCs. If you´d like to and if you have time, I would be very happy to get your opinion on my creations by both rating and writing reviews. Also, I would like to exchange experiences with other Lego builders and especially with those who share similar interests! So have fun checking out my stuff:) Viele Grüße aus Deutschland, Steffen Recent additions:
