A family trip to legoland saw me spending a good hour at miniland looking at the wonderful lands filled with railways

Some great pics James 
The container terminal is new, I didn't see it last time I was there.
I like the non-functioning pointwork

Great pictures, I do like LegoLand, shame it's so expensive.

Aye, I remember the Legoland railways...don't remember Waterloo though. I doubt it's new though as the international half is a bit out of date now!
The yard by the container depot used to be a preservation centre with what looked like a Pannier and an Austerity...but last thime I was there they'd been replaced by a pair of 08s...very disappointing
I presume you also saw the "hill train" and the ride-on-railway? Both built by Severn-Lamb I believe.

Great pics. The only thing that I don't like is where's the live steam?
Posted: Fri May 30, 2008 4:34 pm
Bit difficult to make live steam engines out of plastic bricks 
But yes, it would be nice, especially on the ride-on line - a 2'6" gauge Lego-style, diesel-powered LSWR 4-4-0 is a fairground ride, but a 2'6" gauge live steam LSWR 4-4-0 would really be something!

Yeah, that would be good. About the live steam on the model lines, they could do what Hornby have done.

Completely unpractical with a operation that scale... but Im sure Matt would love to be paint £5 an hour to run them!!! Posted: Sat May 31, 2008 12:44 am
Matt would love to be paint?!?!? I'd pay Matt £5 an hour, whilst in the presence of my locos if he promises not to knock them off the line with his mamods!

I meant PAID.Posted: Sat May 31, 2008 10:18 am
ROTFL here about mhlr's last coment! I would like to get £5 an hour.
About the mamod accident, that WASN'T MY FAULT! It was the signalmans fault for telling me the section ahead was clear.

Yes, well, I want to put the blame on some else. And it was your fault to for not carring a token for that section of the line.
