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.

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.

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.
