Hi again,
this morning I recieved another email from the Desert Express Management team
from Windhoek/Namibia! Anita writes:

Wunderbar! Super!!!! Looks stunning! I have sent your mail to our
CEO, as well as to those involved with our locomotives. Now what do I
have to do to get a replica of this in Windhoek? Please let me know
about costs involved!
Holger, Namibia is nice and hot - we just did our first trip with Desert
Express to northern Namibia - namely to Mokuti Lodge on the border of
the Etosha National Park. It was a stunning trip, und ich bin immer
noch müde.... [I am still tired...]
I will be doing a road show through Germany in February next year - in
exactly which city are you so that I can see whether it is on our
itinerary and we can have a beer together?
Here's wishing you and your family all the best for Xmas - have a white
one!
Fond regards from Namibia

What shall I reply?? How much is a MOC?? The immaterial costs are expressable
in money! But what would all the needed bricks costs, if I want to build a
second copy to give it to the Desert Express Team? There are many parts from a
live long collection in the LDX, for example the yellow antennas at the front
and end section of the engine: you need 8 in total - 4 I got out of 2 sets of
the cement mixer #6682 and 4 out of 2x Star Wars Naboo Fighter!!
And what about the blue 2x2 windows? 6 are needed - but the riding stable #6379
just has 5 of them! This goes on with even more bricks....
So what you guess???
Thanks for the ongoing discussion and using the LDX as new screen background!!
Regards,
Holger
