Details:
This is a really clever and realistic model based on an existing train in Denmark. Until you take a closer look, you might actually confuse the photos included of the full-size train with the photos of the LEGO-minifig sized train. The curved front was done by using some newer curved elements with studs-not-on-top pieces. Additionally, this builder designed a unique coupling system that allows the train cars to be really close together but still turn just as well as any standard LEGO train.
(This is Tuesday's model of the day.)
