I admittedly have been sort of doing a ‘wait and see’ thing cause I’m not entirely sure what to expect. I did spend some time this evening, while listening to the Pirates lose, going thru the Future Tenant pics to see what kind of stuff people have. Also, this list is helpful. Here’s what I’ve been planning:
– I have a Horizon Express also. It appears there may be a glut of HE’s, but for what it’s worth, mine is currently motorized and ready to go. I did the motor and lights exactly as they appear in the official instructions and I did a test drive in my living room a couple days ago. I can also convert it to 9V easily enough if we so desire. Having at least two would be good though, on the back of the box they show two sets connected butt-to-butt and it looks sweet.
– I have the Palace Cinema. Right now it is built straight up as the set. I was planning on MILSing it, and putting in the rear left corner of a 2×2 set of MILSed plates. So let me know if that’s not what you want me to do, if I do so, Evan’s sets would all also need to be MILSed in order to connect. For the other three baseplates, the forward two I was going to MILS with straight train track coming thru the center, according to the MILS standard instructions that’s in that one link Evan’s posted, and then dress it up a bit with rocks and plants and trees. Again, if nobody else is MILSing the train track, then I’ll have to not do that in order to connect to the rest of the track. The remaining corner would be a little park, with trees and a small road for the PC limo to park. There would be room for the monorail to come through, I am not exactly sure what the monorail guys have in mind.
That’s all I had planned. Some of you may have heard me say at Q3 that I have been good in the past at coming up with grandiose plans that never become realized, so I am deliberately trying to keep it simple here for my first display. (Plus I’m still working on organizing my collection and it’s like a Lego explosion around here right now, not that you asked.)
OK, let me know how that sounds and if I need to modify my plans.
