Hod Carrier Posted October 3, 2016 Posted October 3, 2016 (edited) Not sure if this is the right place for this, but it's vaguely railway related and so I thought I'd pop it up here. As I walked across the concourse at Birmingham's New Street station I noticed a slightly desultory display relating to the future High Speed 2 (HS2) rail link between Birmingham and London. Part of this display was this mighty model of a tunnel boring machine made from LEGO. A quick internet search shows that this is a 1:20 scale model and is the work of Bright Bricks, a professional LEGO building company, on behalf of Bechtel. Not sure how long it's going to remain on display here, but if I get a chance I may try to get a few more snaps. Edited October 3, 2016 by Hod Carrier Quote
Imanol BB Posted October 3, 2016 Posted October 3, 2016 It looks amazing, the details are stunning, i saw the video in their page and actually this machine has moving parts too, they made it to show how the real machine works, i think this is an absolutely beautiful work and i really like it. Quote
Lyichir Posted October 3, 2016 Posted October 3, 2016 What a boring model... But in all seriousness, this is pretty neat. Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted October 4, 2016 Posted October 4, 2016 This MOC is absolutely cool! Very well done! Quote
Hod Carrier Posted October 4, 2016 Author Posted October 4, 2016 Thanks but, er, it's not mine. It's a professional build commissioned by Bechtel who build the real things. It just happened to be on display so I grabbed a snap as I passed. Quote
