Wowowowowow!! Lovely! Those carriages are precisely the sort of stuff I
had hoped to make, but have so far failed!
I was going to email you privately, but I am sure that I can't be the only
person who might want an answer to the following questions:
1. Where do those wonderful "4x4" spoked wheels come from? I have heard
rumour of a rare "only available in a certain set" spoked wheel, that is now
only now available on the second-hand market, for a lot of money.
If this is so, what are other sources of "4x4" wheels - or indeed any large
wheels. I have some old "4x4" studed wheels myself, but do Lego still make
others?
2. Where do you get the 33 degree sloped black roof bricks in quantity -
and especially the corner bits!? And the grey ones? And (the ones I REALLY
want) white ones!
3. Train doors - Lego S@H has just two colours (blue and grey). But Holger
has lots of colours! So, can you get dark brown?
Hmmmm . . .white roof, dark brown doors . . .did someone say "Orient Express"?
4. In the luggage van, how do you fit the classic doors in upside down!?
Two 1x2 tiles to give two un-studded faces? Special adapter brick? Use of
a nail-file? (noooooo!)
5. Finally, Holger, do you plan to publish the plans for these excellent
carriages?!?!?
You know, I am in Germany over the Summer . . . maybe I could pick up the
plans, and some nice white slopes, and the spoked wheels . . . . 6 metal
rims . . some track . . . some more track . ..
