| (URL) Point Brique Ghost Train, as seen at Brickvention 2008 (where it won second prize) and on (URL). While I’ve built hundreds of MOCs over the years, it’s only recently that I’ve become interested in building amusement rides. Inspired by Stump (...)

I'm not sure of the rating of those transformers, but I think it was a (...) (17 years ago, 5-Mar-08, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade, lugnet.trains)
