Hi Jon,
"Mind the Gap" ;)
I was just in London for a week in the fall and rode this very train from
Heathrow to Earl's Court station. And other tube trains all around London,
including the EuroStar from Waterloo station to Paris! (Steve's excited).
I really love this lego verson! Many great details. Right down to the undergroud
logo, which even at this pixelated resolution, manages to capture the logo!
I was wondering if an extra plate in the door would reduce the inset on the
sloped part of the door?
