The guys over at The LEGO Car Blog are running a contest having something to do with appeasing their elves. They say extra kudos points go to the contestants who somehow include an elf in their entries. You may as well just hand the prize to me, boys. Sprint racing is dangerous, dirty and stupid...which leads me to believe the elves will get their little panties in a bunch over this. Seems this foolish elf has discovered his own definition of Sprint Racing!
My first entry to Round 1 of this year's Iron Forge! The seed part is used 4 times in the 50947 variety – specifically the fun printed ones from this Tiny Turbos set. As soon as I saw I had these, I knew I had to use the red headlights as eyes, and the idea of a sprinting robot was born instantly.
Had some fun with the pictures and tried to give the bot some personality. Check out the alternate shot!
One of the prototype Class 150 Sprinters, 150001, at Matlock on 17 July 1985. The Sprinter is carrying a small headboard reading "Sprinter Link" - 150001 was new in late 1984, so was possibly in it's early weeks of service on the Matlock line in this pic?
I made this between 15 & 20 years ago. Shortly after I got married, my wife introduced me to dirt track racing and I quickly became a fan of the Sprint division. She suggested I try to make one and with the parts I had, I came up with something that looked pretty good.......so I made 24 of them :P Since then, Lego has come up with some better relevant looking parts, so this looks a little dated, but I might have to remedy that. I also think it's time to cut down my collection by half ;) Here's a reference to what a Sprint Car looks like in case you are unfamiliar with them: www.google.com/search?rlz=1C1DVCJ_enUS470US472&tbm=is...
Comments appreciated. Enjoy!!

Remember the brave new world of Provincial later Regional Railways? 1987 and all that? Sprinters here there and everywhere, 150's on 6 hour jaunts across the country, 155's throwing their doors open at 70mph, the promise of the wonderful new Express 158's just around the corner (just don't mention the leaky roofs and the yaw damper weld cracks).
Well, some of those Sprinters are now older than the stock they replaced. Just sayin'...

This car belongs to former Falcon Club of America president. It was a complete restoration and I think he is working on a matching convertible. The 65 Falcon Sprint had the lowest production numbers of all the Sprints with 2806 hardtops and only 300 convertibles produced.

Predictable, reliable, fast, inovative.....
29 years ago this month, MILW 2010 and "MILW" 2067 lead the eastbound Sprint under the Bridge Street bridge on the east end of Oconomowoc.
The power here has some special memories for me: 2010 ended up being the very last operating Bandit on CP which I luckily caught one last glance of just before it was sent away and one number board from 2067 ended up stuffed and mounted on my wall.
Everything in this shot is gone today, except the rails the train is on and the earth supporting it.
