What I’m looking forward to is someone coming up with a remote controlled system for signals, train crossings and switch rails, like we had with the 12 V system.

Do they make metal wheels to with this system or would this strictly be for existing lego train motors?

I thoroughly enjoyed reading about why you loved this particular version over the others. Think you made a good choice with that one and the details you’ve captured are stunning! Those classic trains with pipes and valves, whilst not as efficient have a mechanical beauty to them. Did you per chance ever make instructions for this? Would love to see some of the techniques in more detail and maybe have a crack at building it myself.

Thanks again for running the competition. With three Australian winners, you obviously timed the announcement to come out on on the morning of Australia Day (26 Jan). Very clever!

It’s such an honor to win the Large Diorama category, and even more of an honor to win the Grand Prize (by a whisker, on a technicality). Congratulations to all the other entrants and winners. Many thanks to the organizers for providing me with the motivation to get my act together at least once a year, and thanks to my local LEGO train enthusiasts (including, but not limited to, some of the other winners) who collectively provide me with the motivation to keep improving. For a niche area (trains) of a niche hobby (LEGO), how lucky am I to live in a niche location (Melbourne) where there is so much talent?
