hi Larry,
nice to read, that the Desert Express still is in mind of some AFOLs on the
web. I build the loco as close to the real picture which is also in the
gallery. I have no idea, if it's an american loco. The Desert Express operates
in Namibia, south west of Africa. No idea, if the build their own locos or were
able to get some old americans?
The first pictures where published on brickshelf just a week before X-Mas, I
started building it a year ago when I got back my LEGO from Dark Age storage.
BTW: The an exact copy for the Namibian train company is ready and I just need
to sort out two weeks of holiday to deliver it **personally** lo Namibia.
Transnamib invited my on a trip down to Namibia and on the real Desert Express.
Hopefully that will all happen in March 2002, and there WILL be a great website
afterwards, I promise!
Regards,
HoMa
