Hi Sonnich,


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?

If you say so, yes! I have to get all the pieces and they organize the trip -
including the flight Frankfurt - Windhoek!


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...

Thanks!

How did you make the buffers?

These are the 2x2 round elements which are used underneath the boats from town
series in the early 90's.

Why do you use plates instead of slopes on the roof?

It's simple: I won't not have so many grey slopes at all and they are hard to
come by. Plates are easy to get and effective.

What am I looking at in the front here

You mean the green "thing"? It's the palm tree of the Safari camp and the
yellow is the 4x4 supply truck. Most of the track is supported by some
telegraph booms made by pirate ship booms/masts.

auf weidersehen ....right!

Auf Wiedersehen
