Lego

Another MOC. A few improvements, the siderods were a single piece not connecting all three wheels so I fixed that and a couple of subtle changes in the build like leaving out windows that were never in the original. Really nice thing. The 060 Pannier tank engine is a favourite, I built the kids a toybox so many years ago. The boiler was an open box with a soft close lid and the kids could climb into the cab up to about 7 years of age.






All that remains on the traction engine is for me to get my lazy arse to the lathe and mill to do the rims.

That's super cool. The world needs more Lego trains.

I wish I had a bottomless wallet and could justify the Harry Potter train set. Saw it built up at the Lego shop in Castle Towers (Castle Hill shopping centre). Loved it! But at $800 its a stretch.....

Disclaimer: not a HP fan but even if I was I doubt I'd get it. Wrong scale, minimal carriages and platform too small. Too expensive imo.

Edit: they need to re-release this.

I think some stuff is much better value than others. Technic is generally really good vfm, as are Creator Expert (or whatever it's called now). It's the pricing of licenced sets that are more likely to be on the piss.
 
I was contemplating scratch building an AD60 or Qld'd ASG event though the colour red is wrong. BUT. I drew out the basics and made a wish list and yep over $1k! So no.
 
Cool lego sculpture.
