Bricking it.

Mods please place in correct thread if wrong.

I found this in an old magazine from 1997 and thought i would share it with the community.
It was designed by internationally-renowned sculptor David Mach.
It was titled "Train" It cost £3/4 of a million, weighs a staggering 1,500 tons including it's metre thick concrete base.
It utilised 181,754 bricks, and is some 120ft long. It is an impression of an "A4" locomotive billowing brick 'smoke'.

If I remember correctly it's by the side of the A66 near Darlington.

You remember correctly, fran1. Here, to be precise.

Correct. It is a stones throw from the route of the original "Stockton & Darlington Railway" near the "Morrison's" car park at "Morton Park" Darlington.

Hmmm, this reminds me of a photo in a british magazine, of a location in Aus...

Namely, someone 'remade' Ayres Rock to look like an A4...

Looked much better than the real rock as well
