Nearly two feet long cardboard steam engine – really well done, excellent cut out, not too difficult to assemble. Bought here at http://leolandia.pl/ – worth every penny. Amazingly, it was not made in China – it was made in Poland. Quality does matter, at least for me.
Fast moving train track
Somewhere, in the middle of nowhere. On the EC train.
Warszawa Centralna is a prime example of great Polish architecture from late seventies of the last century. Main train station in Warsaw, point of critical importance to Polish train network, where most of the main lines meet. The main hall is above the surface of the earth, but the platforms are located underground. Interestingly, the lines go below the earth in shallow tunnel for exactly 2310 meters, connecting all main train stations – very clever system, that does not affect the car traffic above, was built between 1924 and 1933 when it was finally opened.
What you see on the picture below it a train platform restored for the launch of the Euro2012 football championship.
