    Little Crane

    Lovely little MOC this - I always love the tiny things people come up with on here. There must be some pretty high tech engineering inside it to reduce the amount of energy needed.

    Technically it isn’t Art although it’s everything an art set is. Gotham City Skyline, revealed today. https://brickset.com/sets/76271-1/Gotham-City-Skyline

    LEGO Trains 2024

    The other thing I find is that the high speed trains of China and Japan nearly all seem to have a variation in colour scheme of blue/white/grey - which after a while gets rather dull in my opinion. In contrast, Europe's high speed rail services are often much more colourful - take the Eurostar, Thalys, TGV Sud-Est, and the Italian Frecciarossa ETR 500. The colour schemes and overall shape of these I generally much prefer. Even the DB ICE sets are made more interesting with the contrasting red stripe, although they've done some similar city sets before. Like @Kalahari134 says, the 0 Series is instantly recognisable and a good choice should they go down the Asia-Pacific route.

    Apologies - I’ve changed it now. It seems that although it’s retired in most of the world, European shops still have it in stock with no issues. There’s a ** which says this which I’ll later delete when it sells out in Europe.

    Fairground Sets - Rumours and Discussion

    The Loop Coaster is also predicted to require this year which would otherwise leave us with nothing which hasn't happened since the range properly began (between Grand Carousel and Fairground Mixer there was a gap but I don't think the Grand Carousel really counts as it was before the regular series kicked off).

    @mod123 @Murdoch17 That's bizarre - in the UK there are no signs of it retiring anytime soon hence my inclusion of it on the list. I may therefore keep it that way for the moment - when did it retire in your country?

    According to Brick Fanatics, 76405 Hogwarts Express Collector's Edition is going to retire this year. Not surprised in the slightest though - hopefully this might tell TLG that bigger is NOT always better, and we want an actual train we can run! It won't have even lasted 18 months assuming it has a December 31st retirement date. In the Harry Potter theme you would expect a big market too - the Hogwarts Castle 71043 will have been around 6 years this September and shows no signs of retiring any time soon.

    [MOC] Medway 4703 "Maria"- Siemens Eurosprinter

    Another stunner from you @Sérgio! I’m always so impressed with your MOCs with how you so rarely use stickers - many for the arrows would have done so but you’ve achieved it without! Perfection is one of your many skills.

    MOCs: Models of trains running in Hungary

    A grand station and a grand masterpiece! Very recognisable shape and style as well - I travelled from Bratislava to Budapest and then Budapest to Krakow and saw many of these on the way. Can’t wait to see pictures of the full station in operation in the near future!
  12. I mean religious buildings aren’t generally something they do (exceptions are mentioned above) but it’s a shame really considering the amount of money that goes into these architectural wonders because of their significance and the resulting ornate creations. To name a few others I would love to see: Sagrada Familia, Barcelona Saint Paul’s Cathedral, London Westminster Abbey, London Saint Basil’s Cathedral, Moscow Hagia Sofia, Istanbul Saint Stephen‘s Basilica, Budapest Berlin Cathedral, Berlin Sainte Chapel, Paris Europe alone has countless examples and there are plenty of others elsewhere. Unfortunately, LEGO’s attempted neutrality will likely never allow these to come to fruition as 7/8 of these are churches themselves and the eighth (Hagia Sophia) although a mosque was formerly a church. P.S. Following Notre Dame, I can imagine the vast onslaught of complaints they would receive from making just one more church after that and none from another religion.
  13. If it really is Notre Dame, I think it will be very interesting to see the finished product. It's an extremely ornate building, and there are a lot of complex building techniques involved. However, it's larger than some of the stadiums and previous Creator Expert sets (for example Old Trafford, Tower Bridge and the Sydney Opera House) - it doesn't belong in Architecture where smaller sets should reside. I was there that night when the fire took place, and the feeling the next day was like nothing I'd ever experienced before. I remember it having been extremely hot and dry outside two hours before the fire began, and the next day it was like the city had lost an old friend. Luckily, restoration is underway (I've revisited Paris several times since although the cathedral is closed) and she'll be back and open soon.

    Maine Central 470 - "Mascot of Maine"

    Nothing like one of your stunning locomotives Glenn! Always fascinating to see the techniques you use each time. The perfection in your piston rods and valve gear is always outstanding.
  15. Another fantastic expansion to the layout! Are we able to see multiple modules together or is this not possible with the amount of space you have?
