Engine Shed
« on: February 16, 2009, 05:44:09 »
My local toy shop is having a Playmobil clearance sale so I decided to take advantage and buy one of the bigger system x sets that they had available. I picked up the 4490 Animal Farm. My motivation to buy it was to create this engine shed. It's a project I've wanted to do for awhile but never had the parts.

This is my first attempt at creating something original in system x. It's fun. I don't mind the connectors and it's nice to have a large variety of parts. I still like steck better, but it's nice to try something different.

Here's a link to my Flickr page:

Ah, this is an cool idea. I think the large doors from the new fire rescue theme would also make some good engine shed doors.

That really looks great! Perhaps a titbit too modern for the locomotive; but very nice nonetheless  ;)

Now that's a great idea.
Perhaps the doors of the take-a-long shed of the new roadworks theme could do the trick too?

Either would do, maybe the take-along shed would also do as an engine shed, or the front part at least.

Very Nice, the nly thing I dislike about it are the glass walls, they make the whole thing look a bit to modern.
