I stumbled on this while 'net searching this morning ...

"Hey, Dave ... what are we gonna do with the huge pile of leftover bricks over there?"

"I don't know, George ... maybe we could build a TRAIN!"

And so they did ... and so they did ...

I love it. A while back, we were sorta going thru a "We were so poor..." thing here on the forum, and I claimed we were so poor when I was a kid, my first train was made of dirt. You've done me one better!

Must have been a heck of a project to have that many "leftover" bricks"! Cool pics, thanks for sharing!

That is one nice LNER A4. I think that's at Doncaster, but I could be wrong.

isnt dirt cheaper than bricks? dirt is just dirt.. but bricks require dirt and water and maybe a little straw? lol

I believe the brick train is in Darlington.
