Hi all,
This has been a long planned and long prepared project of mine (and will
hopefully continue to develop once I have more space) but I think I’m finally
happy enough with it to post pictures. I’ve tried to recreate Moscow in the
early 80s before perestroika and globalisation altered the city forever. I’ve
attempted to keep as much as possible authentic to the era although I believe
the bus may actually be a St Petersburg livery rather than a Moscow one. I’d be
really happy to hear of any inaccuracies or mistakes from people that have lived
in Moscow at that time so I can improve it.
The whole thing sits on a 96x48 base and the street level covers 96x40 (plus a
little extra for tram track). In total there are eight cars (four Zaz 968s, one
ZAZ 965 and three Gaz Volgas), one traffic police van, a Zil bus, a Tatra T-3
tram and an 81-717 Metro train. Total piece count is probably around 5000
bricks.
I have to extend a great deal of thanks to Alexander Horoshilov and Derek Schin
for their help. Alexander very kindly found me a bunch of Russian language
reference sites with photos of Moscow (including some from the very era I was
interested in) and Derek very kindly took some snapshots for me last time he was
in Moscow. Without this help I could never have got this far. Thanks too to Tim
David for pushing me and giving advice on the diorama along thw way.
Anyway, enough talk,
Tim

Hi all,
I had some good lighting today so I took some good shots of my latest Moscow
related vehicle, a RaF 2203 van in Moscow traffic police colours.
BS (when modded)

Since those shots turned out so well (at least as far as my mediocre photography
goes) I decided to also shoot an almost full (without the Moscow Metro and GAZ
Pobeda) line-up of my Moscow vehicles
which includes shots of a very basic GAZ Volga as a taxi and private car as well
as the others I’ve posted about before.
Anyway, suggestions and criticism welcome.
Tim
PS. And I just noticed that I’d left a spare piece hanging off one of the flags
of the bus... and of course now the sun has gone... well, pretend it’s not
there.

My version of a Tatra T-3 tram from
Moscow. This one has gone through numerous iterations to finally get it to look
satisfactory. Apologies for the one blue window but I figured it was a
replacement after some vandals broke the original.
Tim
PS. Also featuring the tram tracks I mentioned yesterday.

Hi all,
Just a little
switcher. I thought it was cute and relatively challenging but not too much so
it was perfect for a quick build to procrastinate on my main projects.

Please comment whether good or bad.

Dear all,
Finding myself between projects I decided to finally finish off this train which
I’ve had almost finished for a while. It’s a
ChS2t electric loco and
has to be one of the tallest (and probably biggest) loco’s around. Although I
usually prefer to make former-USSR stock seven-wide because of the width of the
prototypes, I designed this one six-wide in order to better show the height.

Please let me know what you think and/or any additional info about this train.

Dear all,
Just uploaded pics of my rendition of a Russian EMU that runs one of the legs of
the Trans-Siberian railway. Not sure of the name and class of it as the only
railway fan pictures I could find were on a Russian site in Russian (x-posted to
.loc.ru just in case).
You can see the real thing here
or here and as you can see
it is in fact an EMU but I could find no pictures of the carriages so left it at
the engine.
I really, really like the design of this train. It has that real Soviet
Commercial Design style that is such a fascinating design movement (I know it
has a name but I can’t find it off-hand). The nose is just fantastic.
The brickshelf gallery (once moderated) is
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=133026
and deep links to some pics are
Iso view,
Front view
and Side
view.
I hope to make some instructions for it sometime and have uploaded the .mpd for
a start. I still need to check that the model is buildable although I think it
is.
At present there are two designs for the SNOT nose, one which is more realistic
but unbuildable (no 1x3x2 arches in Sand Green) and the other (pictured) which
is not as satisfactory but can be built.
Please let me know what you think. I’d also be interested in other peoples
experiences with Russian trains as I find the Soviet design fascinating.
Thanks for you comments,
Tim

Hi Matthias,
Sorry for this inconvinience. I should have responded only to the Dutch
(lugnet.loc.nl) instead of all those country's.

Hi Matthias,
..and a babelfisch translation from Dutch to English would not help much.. :-)
Herewith Ludo's story translated:
/start/
Hi Paul,
Thanks for this proposition. We, some Vlamingen (=people from the Dutch
speeking part of Belgium *khm) intend also to start a Club, if possible.
Every bit of help from experienced guys from De Bouwsteen is welcome! Our first
meeting is at my place on 12.04.2003. Result of the meeting?... W'll see.
/end/
Klaas H. Meijaard
Hé Ludo! Veel succes! We zijn benieuwd naar jullie bevindingen!
/transl:/ Good luck! :-)

Hallo Paul,
Hartelijk dank voor dit voorstel. Wij, dit zijn enkele Vlamingen, zijn ook
van plan om, indien mogelijk, een Club op te richten. Zo, alle hulp van
ervaren personen zoals jullie van De Bouwsteen, is hartelijk welkom. Wij
zouden onze eerste samenkomst bij mij thuis houden op 12 April 2003. Dan
zien we wel wat er eventueel uit de bus komt.
Groetjes uit West Vlaanderen,
Ludo

Hello everybody,
De Bouwsteen is the Dutch LEGO users group and has currently almost 600
members. Amongst other activities, we organize three club events a year
and we are also actively participating in LEGO world, the biggest LEGO
event of Europe, with in the year 2002 over 37000 visitors in five days.
We would like to get in contact with as much as possible other LEGO user
groups in Europe (or people who are interested in starting up a LEGO
user group) to discuss the possibility of forming an European Federation
of LEGO user groups.
The purpose of this European Federation of LEGO user groups is to
exchange information about the organization of the different LEGO user
groups, the organization of events, as well small events as big events
like LEGO world, and also to synchronize agenda's to minimize the
overlap of events in different countries.
Another advantage of an European Federation of LEGO users group is that
it will be easier to communicate with LEGO and that white gaps are being
identified.
If you would like to discuss about the possibiliteis of an European
Federation of LEGO user groups, please contact me, Paul Koelewijn.
Hasta LuEGO,
Paul Koelewijn
President 'De Bouwsteen'

The great experience of meeting in person other Lego enthusiasts at the
MindFest and at some Italian Legofests, makes me dream of a European Legofest.
Some remarks about this topic (talking freely):
- Saying "European" I use the term in its geographical meaning. I don't care
at all about any political issue or about countries that are or are not
members of the EU.
- "European" means that it takes place somewhere in Europe to make it easier
for European people to join, but the gathering should be IMO open to anybody
coming from anywhere in the world.
- This project is meaningful only if it collects enough interest and
participants. A meeting of three people could be fun but it's not a Legofest
IMHO.
- To minimise the effort for the participants to join the meeting, it should
take place at a location very close to the geographical "center of gravity" of
the incoming people. This sounds me like north of France, but it obviously
depends on where the coming people are from, and mostly depends on who is
going to candidate to organise the meeting.
- Organising such a meeting will very likely require a strong logistic effort.
The local group who kindly offer to support the meeting in their country must
be aware that this means to find a proper place to meet, cheap accommodations
for the ones who sleep there, food supplies, etc.
- The participants might be asked to pay a small subscription fee to help the
hosting group cover the costs.
- The meeting should last at least two days to allow people coming from let's
say 1000km to arrive and have time to enjoy the party. A weekend would
probably be ideal.
- If this project takes off, we probably need a lot of time to set it up. We
could plan it for next spring or summer. Summer vacation period may be a good
period for those who want to take this as chance to have a trip with the
family.
- I'm not particularly concerned about the language. Most of us non-English
Europeans speak English to some degree.
Am I alone in this dream or is there anybody who shares it?
Your comments and thoughts are very welcome .

TERMS OF USE FOR LUGNET.COM
OVERVIEW AND DEFINITIONS

discussing, collecting, buying & selling, trading, and exchanging
information about LEGO® brand toys.
As a user of this site, you are expected to read, understand, and
abide by the Terms of Use as set forth herein. If a portion is
unclear to you, you should ask a parent or guardian to explain, or
write to terms@lugnet.com for clarification.
ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS OF USE
By using LUGNET, you agree to the following:
1. You understand that LUGNET is an unofficial fan-created Internet
site which is not prepared, sponsored, authorized, or endorsed by
the LEGO Group of companies and that the Official LEGO World Wide

inaccuracies or omissions are possible and that this site is not
necessarily suitable to every purpose.
4. LUGNET and its owners and/or operators do not control or censor
content in discussion groups. The LUGNET discussion group server
is provided as a "store and forward" mechanism "as is" without
filters, which means that you may encounter material which you
find offensive. IT IS YOUR SOLE AND INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY
TO MONITOR OR FILTER CONTENT TO A LEVEL APPROPRIATE TO YOURSELF
AND/OR YOUR FAMILY. If you are under 18 years of age, ask your
parent(s) or guardian(s) for permission and/or supervision before
using this service and make sure they have read and understood
this Terms of Use document.
5. You will not hold LUGNET or its creators, owners, operators,
or related entities responsible or liable ("indemnify and hold
harmless") for the inability to connect to or use this site,
or for any lost or corrupted data, or for any defamatory or
offensive material(s) which you may encounter on or originating
from this site, or for the conduct, opinions, or publications
of any user, or for any other problem whatsoever relating to the
use or existence of this site.
6. You will not use this site for any illegal activities and you
will not attempt to gain unauthorized access to this site or to

7. By posting messages, uploading files, inputting data, or engaging

granting LUGNET and its owners a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-
free, unrestricted, non-exclusive, worldwide license to:
i. Use, copy, publish, sublicense, adapt, transmit, archive,
restore, publicly perform, or display any such communication
in any medium, and to
ii. Sublicense to third parties the unrestricted right to
exercise any or all of the foregoing rights granted with
respect to the communication.
8. You understand that LUGNET owners or operators are regular LEGO
fans just like you, and that when they post to discussion groups,
their opinions and comments are their own and do not necessarily
reflect the opinions or policies of LUGNET.
9. You understand that LUGNET and its owners and/or operators have
no obligation to acknowledge, mediate, or otherwise settle any
disputes or differences of opinion which may arise between users.
Although we hope that everyone can play well together, we must
reserve the right to allow or to refuse access to this site to
anyone, for any reason, with or without prior warning or explanation.
Additional terms and conditions appear below.
DISCUSSION GROUP TERMS AND CONDITIONS
LUGNET includes discussion groups which allow feedback and
interaction between users. LUGNET and its owners and/or operators
do not control or censor messages, information, or files delivered
to discussion groups. It is a condition of your use of the
discussion groups that you do not:
1. Restrict or inhibit any other user from using the discussion
groups.
2. Falsely present yourself as a representative, employee, or
official of a LEGO company or of LUGNET through the accidental or
deliberate use of trademarks or servicemarks in your identity or
through misleading or confusing statements in your postings.
3. Post anonymously or post any message in which the 'From:' header
is not an e-mail address under your control. (Spamblocks are OK,
however, so long as it is possible for a reasonably intelligent
human to reconstruct your e-mail address using clearly documented
instructions, which you must include in each such message.)
4. Post using a pseudonym, alias, screen-name, handle, alter-ego,
meno, or any other type of name which is not your own or which
hides your true identity, unless your real name and identity is
clearly understood, accepted, and documented by the community as
the true identity behind such messages.
5. Post or transmit any unlawful, threatening, abusive, libelous,
defamatory, obscene, vulgar, pornographic, profane, or indecent
information of any kind, including without limitation any
transmissions constituting or encouraging conduct that would
constitute a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability, or
otherwise violate any local, state, national, or international
law.
6. Post or transmit any information, software, or other material
which violates or infringes upon the rights of others, including
material which is an invasion of privacy or publicity rights or
which is protected by copyright, trademark, or other proprietary
right, or derivative works with respect thereto, without first
obtaining permission from the owner or right holder.
7. Post or transmit any information, software or other material
which contains a virus or other harmful component.
8. Post non-plain-text content such as HTML, multi-part MIME
messages, or so-called "binaries" including but not limited to:
images, sounds, multimedia files, computer programs, and blocks
of text created using binary-to-text conversion utilities such
as BinHex, uuencode, btoa, and PGP message encryptions (short
PGP signatures, however, are permitted by the server).
9. Post information or material for commercial purposes which is not
reasonably related to LEGO toys or which contains advertising
which is not reasonably related to LEGO toys.
10. Post or re-post a message excessively, especially unsolicited
advertisements, even if they are directly or indirectly related
to LEGO toys.
11. Post auction announcements, updates, or listings in discussion
groups which do not explicitly welcome their presence.
12. Stray hopelessly off-topic without moving the discussion to a
more appropriate location. (There is a fair amount of leeway
here, since it is natural for discussions to drift, and moving
a discussion can sometimes be inconvenient or difficult. If in
doubt, appeal to common sense.)
13. Cross-post excessively, since many newsreader software programs
do not handle cross-posted articles elegantly or transparently.
LUGNET, its owners, and its operators have no obligation to monitor
the discussion groups. However, LUGNET and its owners and/or
operators reserve the right at all times to disclose any information
as necessary to satisfy any law, regulation, or governmental request,
or to edit, refuse to post, or to remove any information or
materials, in whole or in part, that in the sole discretion of LUGNET
and its owners and/or operators are in violation of these terms and
conditions or of applicable law.
If you choose to use any mark owned by the LEGO Group as part of your
identity, you do so at your own risk. LUGNET can neither advise you
nor protect you if you infringe on the rights of the LEGO Group.
However, there are some common-sense guidelines which you must follow
as additional conditions of your use of the LUGNET discussion groups:
14. If you use a LEGO mark as part of your identity, and you are not
an employee or representative of the LEGO Group, you must include
an appropriate disclaimer in each post you make, noting (a) that
you are not associated in any way with the LEGO Group and that
your posts are unofficial and do not represent the views,
opinions, or policies of the LEGO Group, and (b) that the mark
or marks you are using are owned by the LEGO Group.
15. If you are an employee or representative of the LEGO Group, and
you wish to post as such, you must clearly indicate your title,
position, or relationship with or within the LEGO Group. Your
employer may also require you to include a disclaimer protecting
them from your personal opinions.
16. If you are an employee or representative of the LEGO Group, but
you wish to post on your own behalf as an independent LEGO
enthusiast and not as an employee or representative, you are not
required by LUGNET to disclose your affiliation. However, your
employer may have its own ideas about your participation; if in
doubt, consult your employer for appropriate posting guidelines.
The foregoing is not legal advice, and LUGNET and its owners cannot
guarantee that it is a bullet-proof formula for avoiding the dilution
or infringement of marks owned by the LEGO Group or for circumventing
rules which your employer may impose upon you. Questions on the
nature of trademarks or servicemarks should be directed to a
qualified legal professional. If in doubt, it is probably wisest
simply to avoid the use of LEGO trademarks as part of your personal
identity.
DISCLAIMERS OF WARRANTIES
LUGNET and/or its owners, creators, operators, and/or related
entities make no representations about the suitability of the
information contained in the documents and related graphics
published at this site for any purpose. All such documents and
