Hi,

I love this engine...The Mallard.

Here's a couple of images processed two different ways. I would like your thoughts on the pics, if you would. Thanks.

    I usually don't like black & white versions if I've seen the color shot, but this time, I clearly prefer the b&w - very cool.

    I much prefer the color version myself. But, I'm having a hard time seeing that as a steam locomotive. Looks like it was built with Legos or something ne_nau.gif ?

    Fascinating. Great find. Nice work.

    Chuckinsocal and dogdots, yes it's made out of bricks. It's in Drlington, County Durham, Uk and stands about 20 feet high.

    Perhaps this might help…

    …I thought "Lego" until I took closer look!

    Nice job!
