I am glad you liked the show. I had a blast talking to everybody. <br /><br />Few of the planes on Intrepid were actually mine. I don't live in the UK, so I was a bit limited in what I could take with me. I built the prototypes for each of the four types (as well as the Japanese Zero). Annie did most of the work building copies using instructions I made for them. <br /><br />The green coach indeed is mine. I also designed the routemaster, but as with the planes, only one of them on show was mine. The rest were built by Warren, using mine as an example. <br /><br />It's nice to have other people do the hard work :-)Mad Physicisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06235900903509055759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-795049240604897581.post-1980340500368305452010-10-05T19:19:05.709+01:002010-10-05T19:19:05.709+01:00Cheers, Warren - great job on the St. Pancras mode...Cheers, Warren - great job on the St. Pancras model. It's also impressive how you guys collaborate on these creations.

I see that Carl and Ralph have already been name-checked, and it's them that I would thank for the St Pancras display. It looks very dull without their contributions!<br /><br />WarrenWarren Elsmorehttp://www.elsmore.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-795049240604897581.post-68158237569265639242010-10-05T13:31:40.758+01:002010-10-05T13:31:40.758+01:00Hi Ed, I'm delighted that you got to read the ...Hi Ed, I'm delighted that you got to read the blog and see how blown away I was by your magnificent creation ! I suppose the question now is whether or not you can ever bear to take the Intrepid apart, or whether it'll remain intact for ever and you'll have to collect pieces for another 35 years to build your next masterpiece.....?! Well done once again, and many thanks for sharing it with all of us at GWLS.drdavewatfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17046583913458496903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-795049240604897581.post-85388566935664770412010-10-05T12:12:46.240+01:002010-10-05T12:12:46.240+01:00Thanks for the very nice blog Dave.

You should have barged through the throng and said hello, but if you got to speak to Ralph that's just as good. I've been collecting the parts for 35 years, so rest assured I didn't bankrupt myself!<br /><br />Cheers,<br />Lego MonsterEd Dimenthttp://www.flickr.com/photos/legomonster/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-795049240604897581.post-3317811281380567852010-10-04T08:37:07.288+01:002010-10-04T08:37:07.288+01:00@bic3 - guilty as charged.

Warren was responsible for teh 225 in the station, and Carl Greatrix (Brixktrix on flickr) built the rest of the trains. Many of the road vehicles are By Raph Savelsberg (of Intrepid planes fame), Mad Physicist on Flickr.<br /><br />I'm glad you enjoyed it so much.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
