A mate has sent me this, I'm not sure if it's real as I can't find any English websites showing it, brothers brick doesn't list it yet

Excellent! Although I've not yet purchased the Mustang or Harley Davidson to complete the display. Have all the creator expert cars to date mind.

I remember when the Fiat 500 went through Ideas thinking it was madness it was not selected as it made such a good fit to the range of cars already done.
Available from tomorrow - https://www.lego.com/en-gb/product/fiat-500-10271

Really looking forward to this one!

I got a job lot on eBay but it is always pricey.

We just picked a load up on aliexpress, best prices I could find.
UK stuff is silly expensive, this compatible stuff was $18 for 30 straights. Now have 50 'compatible' to add to the freight train set and a few other little bits. It now reaches all the way around a full size snooker table which is now a lego table.

Thanks for all the reply's re: train track as yesterday i picked up the Wilko Blox Train Station Mega Set for only £15.00(would be a shame not too as there is a truck load of bricks) and was thinking of motorising the train and added used lego for flat bed car transporters as i have built all the speed champions cars.

As a complete aside, if the slightly unhinged chap who was posting his lego city here about a year ago (bank robbery in progress, head transplant in the hospital, etc.) is STILL here, please post updates. I (for one) thought it total genius!!

So I bought the Fiat and smuggled it into the house on a day I arrived before wife. Put it in a space there had already been unbuilt Lego in for months and moved the other unbuilt Lego to "the pile".

Does anyone fancy swapping the Creator Mustang for my Saturn V? It's new and sealed, I'm never realistically going to build it, don't have the space to display it, and am not into ebay-lego-speculating.

We got this set as it includes a switch, which is an important part of our rail side monitoring solution.

It’s more as a talking point really. So a method to draw people to the stand to talk, and perhaps a prize draw to win a Lego set too.
Is your kit wireless electro levels or similar to Wisen or line of sight stuff (prisms and EDM)? You doing twist/cant fault reporting or geotechnical monitoring of cuttings/embankments.

A mixture of most of what you mention bud.

We are test flying a bunch of different instruments to monitor a wide range of track and track side conditions.

I am far too excited for this, as a kid I had the original black seas barracuda which my dad mostly built for me so this will be a great one to build with my son.
