I'm positively amazed: really 4 years old (from the stone age of Lego
modelling)? And I have to disagree: it is a very good model. I
really like it and it looks perfectly like the "rotary" that has been in those
years in the "Maerklin" catalogue.
And I like the way the model is put into sceene: buildings behind - plants,
train-stuff like the signals in the foreground. That is so mich better than the
lots of pictures taken simply by putting a model on track (and in the
background you can see the messed up appartment or a kitchen table)**.
Leg Godt!
