This photo shows the Florida East Coast Railway Society N-Trak Model of the new Brightline West Palm Beach Maintenance Facility. I photographed this photo during an N-Trak operating session in our conference room at the Miami Airport Embassy Suites Hotel.
N-Trak is a model railroad assembled with individual modules to form an operating N Scale Operating Model Railroad that can be quickly assembled for Shows, Displays, Festivals and Conventions. The standard module is two feet wide, and four feet long. See:

PS.
The UV protection film does not seem to have any effect. Unfortunately, photosensitization has progressed even under indoor light, and the image has become indistinct after four days.
The island project started with this two year old MOC. Still acceptable and will be used as it is with the 11 other modules I plan to build.
The City Space theme continues to inspire. I wanted to use the curved quarter panels as a windscreen, and by excellent luck had the matching curve plate in sand blue. From then on it was just a matter of mixing the design cues and colour scheme from the sets with my build.
Rather pleased with this, looks chunky and industrial near-future. The crane, while functional, can't lift the module without ripping itself apart. Oh well.
Probably won't take any more pictures of the module itself either, it's just an empty shell that seems to be more like a double-decker carriage on a scenic train than a science module. Some more work on that will be required, I think. But that's a problem for another time. I already have an idea for a larger build that will incorporate four of these modules.
The Universal Modules are widely applicable carrier modules designed to accommodate many different tools. The versatility of these modules makes configuring the cutting system for specific cutting needs very easy and cost-effective.

“MOON BOUND -- Apollo 10 spacecraft and lunar module move away from expended S-IVB stage and head for the distant moon. S-IVB, built by McDonnell Douglas Corporation for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), will fire for about five minutes to propel Apollo 10 out of parking orbit about the earth and into lunar trajectory at a velocity of approximately 24,200 m.p.h. (39,000 km.h.) The three Apollo 10 astronauts then will separate the command and service modules from the S-IVB and turn the spacecraft around to dock with the lunar module, attached to the forward end of the stage. Following separation of the three modules from the S-IVB, the depleted stage is scheduled to proceed past the moon and enter an orbit about the sun. As third stage of the giant Saturn V launch vehicle, the S-IVB fires first for about 2½-minutes, providing the final thrust to insert itself, the lunar module and spacecraft into parking orbit. Restart of the S-IVB follows orbital checkout of the stages and Apollo 10. McDonnell Douglas Astronautics Company produces the S-IVB at its facility in Huntington Beach, California, and static fires the stage at its Sacramento, Test Center, Sacramento, California.”
Although the caption of this is 'personalized' to apply to Apollo 10, I believe it was used, and is applicable, to all of the lunar landing missions.
This is the Skylab 4 Command Module, which served as the crew cabin for going to and from Skylab, the first U.S. space station. Skylab 4, the third and last of the Skylab missions, was launched on November 16, 1973 with Command and Service Modules CSM-118. The three-person crew, Gerald P. Carr, William R. Pogue, and Edward G. Gibson, spent 84 days on orbit, landing on February 8, 1974. The mission included the observation of the comet Kohoutek, among numerous experiments. The crew completed 1,214 Earth orbits and four extra-vehicular activities totaling 22 hours, 13 minutes.
CSM-118 was transferred from NASA to the Smithsonian in 1975.

First module using the NELTC mainline standard. I really dig the wedge plate accent on the outside of the ballast. I am reasonably happy with the trees, but may tinker with the tops.
folded and assembled to a 5 x 5 modul thing - backside view - thanks to Francis Ow and Dirk Eisner for publishing their cross module ideas!
I just realized that it's been a long time since I last posted a WIP shot of how I build stuff, so here you guys go!
Here's all my 100% new micropolis modules for this round. I think I can officially add trans-black tiles to my list of parts I'll never have too much of.
Pictures of a temporary desert layout I had set up in my new Lego room, combining a section of Lerner Airfield and its modern tower, a short section of Route 66 and the Mojave Inn Motel located at a desert crossroads near one of the airfield's entrances (Gate 3).
The layout is of temporary nature. While planning and already building on certain aspects of what's going to become my new core layout for any future desert layouts, I wanted to have a nice setup to look at and play with in the meantime, uniting for the first time my airfield segments and the Mojave Inn Motel, and providing some decent background for my aircraft as well.
All this had never been set up together beforehand, due to a lack of space.
Last but not least, I wanted to take some last pictures of my large cargo aircraft ('C4 Titan') before its dismantling process will start... It's simply too large for transport in one piece, too large for my current Lego room, plus I know I can do better meanwhile...
The layout table measures 3,5 x 1,275 m. The current layout is, apart from small strips on both sides of the table, entirely covered with either base plates, road modules or other self-built modules such as the motel segments. The entire space covered by Lego measures 13 x 5, 32x32-studs-sized base plates.
The street lighting and lighting of the buildings has been realized entirely with 24 12V light bricks and via two 12V train transformers from the 80s.
While this layout unites airfield elements, a Route 66 segment, a crossroads and the motel, the new and yet-to-build core layout will be more centered on railroad topics again, while becoming a quirky little desert hamlet with several new aspects and buildings at the same time. The core layout will be the one I would like to keep set up at home. Adjacent to the new core layout, an airfield section can be joined for opportunities offering more space such as exhibits, conventions, etc. in which I might take part again in the future.
The good thing is that the new, yet-to-built core layout will be able to be expanded in all directions for future needs, projects or potential cooperations with other builders.
Thanks a lot for looking and reading all this! :-)
Have no idea if it works yet, but proud to have completed my first kit nonetheless., First kit-built Eurorack module: a Synthrotek ADSR. Have no idea whether it works yet
Nick Bluetooth races onto the scene with his TDNX-Module Podracer! He's been tasked with defending the Outer Rim, rather than the entire dimension. For racing purposes, he's turned off the podracer's ability to navigate through dimensions. In addition to this, and not unlike the TDN Module, the vehicle is sentient. Nick usually refers to it by its nickname, the "Eggracer".
I found this module at Ikea. It was usually used for an entrance, but I integrated it in my closet. The shelves can be repositioned at any height. I also bought those handles at Ikea, because the original ones where black material-like and cheap looking. The new ones are way nicer! I found the shoe boxes at Home-Depot and used them not only for shoes, but for scarves, slippers, etc.

Nakagin Capsule Tower
(address : 8-16-10 Ginza Chuuo-ku Tokyo)
This is world's first Capsule Structure built in 1972. It is said that this is a prototype of "Capsule Hotel" in Japan.
"Capsule Hotel" is the Japan original accommodations. The first "Capsule Hotel" started business in Osaka in 1979. It is the tight accommodations to provide a simple bed to, but can stay at low fare.
There is "Capsule Hotel" in most cities of Japan now, but I don't have stay experience. Because it is tight space... :)
BTW, "Capsule Tower" and "Capsule Hotel" are "Mr. Kisho Kurokawa" of the same designer.
Haha, it's a pathetic sum of parts but one of the 20 essential modules to form the Island nonetheless.
The control modules, left for the ride control and right for the car alarm.
The car alarm module ist not original, those with a blue label and ZT letters were used in the vectra A, Calibra and Astra F.
The module for the Senator has a yellow label and XE letters.

I love this Tomoko Fuse book but tessellations and other folds have pushed my folding of polyhedra in the background. Among some sheets of DC paper which a colleague gave me (I think they came with the new book Origami Garten by Ioana Stoian), where these stripy psychodelic one, which seemed a perfect match for a stripy cube.

The Lunar Module (LM) was the lander portion of the Apollo spacecraft. The LM was designed to transport two astronauts from the Command/Service Module (CSM) in lunar orbit to the moon’s surface and back.
When I started this project, there were a few design and construction decisions to consider. My main goal was to have the LM as close to minifig scale as possible and to have the structure as functional as possible. Therefore, a few elements could have been smaller (for example, the landing legs), but I chose to create an articulating version instead.

This illustration shows the current version (v.5) of the track plan/module configuration for my Fareham layout project. This may change as I continue to build the layout; however, I have more or less used it to build the first 4x modules. The modular tables I am using are shown as alternating pink/blue rectangles and are nominally 45"x30" (3x2 48-stud baseplates). The rear section of the layout (at the top of the drawing) is a planned yard/storage area. I may change this section in order to accommodate more stock and to include "offsite" junction connections to modular club layouts. I will focus any changes on eliminating track sections which cross table boundaries. I want to ensure track sections are aligned with table boundaries so that they can be semi-permanently mounted to the table for better reliability.
The layout essentially consists of two main running lines each with independent control. Either line can be assigned to DCC operation or to one of 2x 9V DC "cabs". There is a C-Bus control network which runs around the layout to control the switches and the signals. Some of the boards also have independent switches for the lighting, e.g. street or platform lamps.
The diagrams show the folding of the Basic Compass Rose Module. This is just another variation of the Wind Rose Module. Do not use this module together with the Wind Rose Modules. I have not tried that but there is no harm trying. However, I cannot guarantee good results.
The assembly is similar to the "Snowflake Modules" posted earlier here - www.flickr.com/photos/61236172@N08/8487800798/in/set-7215... . Please refer to it if you are not familiar with the assembly. Leave a little gap between the edges of the cupboard fold [step 1] for easier assembling of the modules.

Photograph taken at an altitude of Fifty five metres at 10:14am on Sunday April 16th 2017, from Pont Saint Trinita (Holy Trinity Bridge built 1567-1569 by Bartolomeo Ammanati), the oldest elliptical arch bridge in the world looking over the river Arno towards Pont Alla Carraia in Firenze (Florence), Italy.
Ponte alla Carraia was originally built around 1218, destroyed by flood in 1274 then rebuilt. It collapsed and was rebuilt, only to be damaged again in 1557 and blown to pieces by the retreating German army during World War II in 1944. The current bridge was built in 1948 by Ettore Fagiuoli.

Completed another module for the Labyrinth. By flipping a lever on the back of the module the floor pops up and the adventurers find themselves in the pit of vipers. More on the way.
Again, I apologize for the terrible quality of my phone camera. It's just so much more convenient for a quick picture.
My take on set 10029 the Apollo Lunar lander. I used what parts I could find (and afford) on Bricklink and tried to make use of alternate pieces for what I could not.
After struggling with sub-standard tables at public shows resulting in warped baseplates, wavy track alignment, etc.; I decided I should build my own table modules. The design objectives were as follows:
1) self-contained table module with legs, wiring, etc. built-in
2) dimensionally aligned to integer multiples of 16-studs
3) mutually aligned with dowels and/or bolts in both end-end or end-side configurations
4) support optional drop-in modules between self-standing modules
The design you see here is the result. I have built 4x of these modules for my latest Lego model railway and I am quite satisfied with the result. They have proven to be very robust and provide a flat consistent surface for the baseplates. The disadvantage of this design is its weight. Its a compromise I was willing to accept in exchange for robustness. These modules have to survive the rigours of transport to/from public shows as well as within my own house!
