LEGO® Creations from the North Cold enough for ya?

Adult Fans of LEGO® are particularly active in Canada. Here is a pictorial overview of some of the work of John Koob. As a member of the Northern Alberta LEGO® Users Group, he has included some material from recent model railroading shows. All custom models shown are original creations built that were built using unmodified LEGO® elements.

In 2003, I built a Rotary Hopper Dumper for NALUG's LEGO train layout at the Great Edmonton Model Train Show in Alberta, Canada. Entirely built out of LEGO parts, it can dump hopper cars without decoupling. My Tower Crane took one year to design and build. It's fully functional, Mindstorms powered, and entirely constructed out of LEGO parts. The NALUG layout at the Supertrain 2001 model train show in Calgary featured a number of creations by John Koob. He was one of the fortunate NALUG members who were able to attend. This model was the "Grand Prize Winner" in the first annual Classic Space Design and Build Contest. Thanks to everyone who voted for this model!
