๐Ÿ‘‹ "Welcome aboard (again)! I hope you have your ticket for a trip on the legendary Orient Express. "

๐Ÿš‚ I am delighted to present you again this set of the Orient Express, reproduced as faithfully as possible from the Pacific PLM 231 K 8 locomotive and carriages from the golden age of the International Night Wagon Company in the 1930s.

๐Ÿ‘Œ This new version has one less car and the number of parts has been optimized to stay under the 3000 pieces limit. 

๐Ÿ•ต๏ธ This train took thousands of passengers across Europe to Istanbul from 1919 to 2009. It has been the scene of great adventures such as those of detective Hercule Poirot. 

๐Ÿšƒ I have always been a big fan of trains and Lego: associating these two passions was an obvious choice. If some references exist in the LEGO catalog, I wanted to add my own and create like the Crocodile LEGO CREATOR locomotive, I wanted to find the charm of yesteryear of steam locomotives. What could be more mythical than the Orient Express?

๐Ÿ”Ž I designed it as I would like to have it for myself: a piece that you want to display and always rediscover thanks to the countless small details. 

๐Ÿฝ๏ธ In addition to the locomotive and the coal car, I have included the restaurant car with its removable roof, to discover the interior!

โค๏ธ I hope this train will appeal to LEGO fans and train collectors. I especially hope you will like it. If you do, please support the project by voting and sharing it!

๐Ÿ™ Thanks for your attention.

๐Ÿ‘‹ "And see you soon on board one of our Orient Express trains!"
