Last time I was there, in visit one, I finally bought the GGR fleece I'd wanted for a while; previous attempts were stymed by all the chubby enthusiasts beating me to it.
On the second trip, I spotted something bright orange. It's a sort of steam engine, and best of all, number six, my lucky number! It was also very cheap, being sensibly aimed at kids visiting the line. So, orange, with a six, and cheap, how could I resist?
The box has been kicking around for a while, and last week, I was just in the mood for some brick building, with the added attraction that I'd clear a medium-sized carton from the pile.
56 pieces, all looking like Lego, but about 3/4 the size, and not compatible with the Denmark originals.
Never mind, a few minutes fun was had putting the model together. It's fiddly, but not difficult. The biggest challenge being the wheels. For a start, they need to go on the correct way so the axle doesn't stick out from the middle. Then you apply the sticker, which doesn't. Pity, as they are a nice touch.
I just hope the tiny contribution pays for a bit of loco coal.
