Carl Greatrix works for TT Games, the company behind LEGO Starwars, Batman, Indiana Jones and now LEGO Harry Potter - the videogame. Known as 'Bricktrix' on Flickr, his MOCs of both game elements and his own love, trains, are legendary. Sometimes it can be difficult to tell them apart from the real thing!
