Hello all,

I've recently completed a model of a tube train like this one

http://www.brickish.org/members/files/jreynolds/Ruislip73.jpg

If any of you have flown into Heathrow and caught the tube up to central London,
this is the train you will have ridden in

The lego model has been built 6-wide and compressed in length to suit the
curves. Both prototype and model are noticably lower than the 'surface' stock
and required the use of an articulaed design to limit the intrusion of the motor
bogey.(see pics below)

The model uses plenty of SNOT techniques - those doors are inset by less than
half a stud, for example. Hope you like it.
