bjorkan Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 Station, roof, locomotive, everything is -- wow !!! Quote
Jared Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 While I'm not the biggest train fan, the Flying Scotsman has always been a personal favourite of mine. Seeing it crafted so beautifully with such attention to detail is mind-bogglingly awesome. Thank you for sharing! Hopefully next year I can even make it to STEAM to see it myself in person! Quote
Steph 104th Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 Stunning creation! The sheer scale is breath-taking. Quote
BricksMcgee Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 Looks great, Jamie. Really impressive in size and execution. Is it going to Brick in London too? Quote
Meisterschnorrer Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 Wow, this is really impressive.... Quote
Paperballpark Posted October 8, 2015 Author Posted October 8, 2015 Well I didn't expect this to be featured on the front page! Thanks everyone! This is the most beautiful way to get rid of excess round curved track that i have ever seen ! Believe it or not, I actually had to buy more curved track than I had! I must have been the only AFOL who didn't have enough... Is it going to Brick in London too? Yes it will be. Quote
BricksMcgee Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 Excellent re: Brick - see you there! Working on Fairy Bricks stall on Friday and will have a wonder around on the Saturday. Are you planning more scenery etc, or is the project done now the station is complete? Quote
paul_delahaye Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 I saw this model at the show on Saturday morning, it really is even more impressive in real life. I'll get around to posting my pictures from the show at some point. Quote
zephyr1934 Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 OH WOW!!! I'm not sure which is more impressive, the scale or the detail. It is a fantastic station and I bet it was one of the focal points of your layout. Excellent work! Quote
Feuer Zug Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 Very cool station. The whole train shed, all the lettering, the engine, everything is Awesome! Quote
Nemo57 Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 Excellent work. Magnificent views and scale. Now I understand where you can use an excess of the curved rails. The idea of their use is not new. But the best implementation I've never seen. Once again, stunning, and it's not in size, but in quality and attention in the performance of his plan. Quote
Younge Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 Like others have said, it's definitely a cut above!!! Well done and keep making awesome layouts like this!!! Quote
Redhead1982 Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 This an extra large station. The scale is really impressive, and the roof is probably the most distingusihed part of it. The use of the rails as a support for the roof is really good. Well done. Quote
baard Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 Big and impressive TFS is very nice as well I like it! Quote
kieran Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 Stunning, have never seen anything like it, must weigh a fair bit as well Quote
Sir Brickalot Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 I remember seeing this at GWBS, and I'm as impressed now as I was then! It's quite breathtaking in real life, your pictures do not do it justice! Quote
Snapshot Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Believe it or not, I actually had to buy more curved track than I had! I must have been the only AFOL who didn't have enough... But it was a good way for me to get rid of my excess curved track. Quote
ShaydDeGrai Posted October 14, 2015 Posted October 14, 2015 Amazing job! My grandfather would have loved this. He was an engineer on the Flying Scotsman for decades and was especially fond of the A3 incarnation of the engine. The scale and detail of the station are just wonderful, wish I could see this in person. Quote
Kintobor Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 The size is simply incredible! I'm in love with the roof, it's really well put together. Quote
LEGO Guy Bri Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 Absolutely fantastic build! (Looking through the photos , again) Quote
Paperballpark Posted October 15, 2015 Author Posted October 15, 2015 Are you planning more scenery etc, or is the project done now the station is complete? I'm going to finish the back of the station so that it's like the front, with the towers etc. That will be it though, as it's already large enough! The scenery was simply because I happened to have 42 green baseplates - I'm not intending to buy even more. What I do have a lack of though, is passenger trains. I intend to rectify that, and am already working on one to add to the station next year. I'm also going to get the HE motorised, because I'm sick of the main question from kids being "can you run the orange train?" I might even BL a couple of extra coaches for it, given that the station makes it look pretty small. Quote
