‘Livery’ – adj – Being like liver.

I look forward to seeing the endless variety of boxes on wheels.

I normally don’t build trains but this is pretty cool. I might have to give it a try!!!

Hmm.. I’ve never built a single LEGO train in my life. Maybe I’ll try and build something just for the fun of it.

^ thanks. pretty much what I figured. Sadly, as I have no train wheels, and no tracks to ensure I have built something the correct size to fit on them, I’ll prolly not be trying this contest out. Never really got into trains, but then again, before Jan 2, 2009, I never had gotten into construction vehicles either.

Dez> Note the quotes ;) I’d have to add a ‘sic’ if I changed it.

Looks like a great contest, Tim! It’ll be interesting to see what different builders come up with, based on the same source material.

This is your contest, but I’ll take the liberty of answering these two questions.

@EJ – Livery is the colors and symbols that designate what something belongs to. You can check out the Wikipedia article if you need to. You can find the definition that Tim used under “Modern Usage”. It is a term used to talk about the paint schemes of locomotives and rolling stock. In the pictures that Tim used, you can see the same locomotive in four different liveries.

@Dez – Thank you for the correction. I’m sure you have never reversed two letters when typing and I understand how it might have confused you. Hopefully the clouds of confusion have dissipated, as the error has been fixed.

Moreso, what’s a “Deisgns”?

“Deisgns must not have appeared in public before the 1st January 2009.”
