Network Rail are turning to LEGO

[Dazmundo]

My wife is a design engineer for Network Rail working on overhead lines, she has always said she wanted a model of a Road-Rail cherry picker to sit on her desk as this is what they use when out on track. Since getting back into buying Lego it occured to me that I could get her a Lego one, so I bought her this

She took it into the office this week, and the rest of her team were very impressed, so much so that one of the guys has today ordered

and another set that he is planning on converting to Road-Rail, and they are now planning on setting up a track in their office to display their rail maintenance equipment.

I am hoping that they will create some MOCs of the overhead line structures that they design, if they do I will obviously be sharing them here.

Well, they better go to TRU in the near future and buy a 3677 that will give them track maintenance !

Sounds like they are going to MOC some of their machinery.....be interesting to see what they come up with ?

Brick On !

I really would like to see some well made rail machinery, because from what I've seen , there's not that much made in LEGO, I would really like to see a scale modern crane.
