The Desert Express is updated also. The first passenger car has become the • roof
windows like the original car:

And see the original at: • http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=24065

Last Tuesday I meet some people from Transnamib in Germany. See pictures • of the
meeting at: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=2385

I set up a display with real sand and a lot of telegraph booms. There is • also a
Safari Camp to be found!

As said before (late December 2000), Transnamib is very interested in the • LEGO®
Desert Express and the invited me for a trip to Namibia, if I am able to
collect the pieces for a copy for their train museum in Windhoek/Namibia. • The
best is: I allready have 95% of all needed pieces for another copy (The • engine
and 4 cars are build out of more than 3200 LEGO® bricks!).

Do they pay you for that?

That'S what Anita Witt from Transnamib emailed just after the meeting:

"Holger, thank you so much for all your trouble in coming to Dusseldorf • and
putting the train on display.  It was absolutely magnificent and I was • totally
stunned!"

That is the best thing which could happen and I still can't believe it!

So, let me know what you think about the updates and the deal with
Transnamib?

Congratilatuions. That is the best confirmation a AFOL can get. IT seems
worth it to me, amazing model.
The layout look really great, real so to say. The camp gives the little
extra...

How did you make the buffers?
Why do you use plates instead of slopes on the roof?

What am I looking at in the front here
