Dear all!

After only 4 hours of creative working time another MOC has been finished.

Smokin' fast!  I can smell the melting from the heat generated friction as
you rapidly click bricks.  Eee-uu.

Beautiful switch tower.  Love the style and detail.

This
has been the first group work MOC (or maybe better OOC = Our Own Creation)
since over 20 years for me.

Klaus Dobisch, Andrew Stringer (from Birmingham) and me have had a small
meeting at my home yesterday in the evening. We started with just some
Lego®-talk and having a look at some of my models.

Then we decided to do some moccery - but found no fitting British rolling stock
to build.

Since Andy works for a company that produces train signals we decided to do a
switch tower instead. We did it after a picture of a H0 gauge model, which
fitted perfectly to the steam engine era and our local building style in
Braunschweig.

You can find the finished model (picture shooting from 1:00 am to 2:30 this
night) on my homepage:

And a bigger amount of pictures again in a 1000steine.de gallery (sorry, but
the explaining text is only available in German there):

Kind Regards,

Ben


Thanks
- @René from 1000steine.de for uploading this gallery that fast (less than 1
hour!)
- @Klaus and Andy for their visit. It was very inspiring to do a shared work as
a group!
- @Lugnet.trains - The contact between Andy and me started after his posting:

Andy got his 7740 instruction yesterday in the evening at last.
