About Episode 10 – British loco designs in LEGO bricks
British steam locos and railways in general have fans around the world; whether it’s their unique aesthetics, colourful liveries or quirky designs, it’s not hard to find something to like. So, episode 10 is all about building LEGO locos in LEGO bricks.
In this episode of the LNUR Line podcast, we’re joined by a plethora of guests and members including Stuart of Romsey & Halterworth LEGO Railway; the YouTube sensation Sam of BritishBricks; along with far flung LNUR member Trace from the USA for a varied insight, along with regular LNUR members Andrew, Chris, Matt and Will.
They’ll be sharing their favourite liveries, get into a lively debate about stickers, and explain why British locos are that appealing.
Music is “Jokaim Kraud – Classic” and “RKVC – Holly Dazed”
