In the last full week of the school summer holidays a special event was held at Crich with children – of all ages! – encouraged to get involved at the museum building with Lego bricks. This included creating a mosaic of Glasgow 812 using Lego which was built in the Bandstand at Victoria Park – and it was an incredible sight!
81,920 Lego bricks were required to complete the mosaic with 320 Lego base boards (each containing 256 small bricks). In other words an awful lot of Lego was needed to create this spectacular sight!
This image features the almost completed mosaic on Thursday afternoon (30th August) – the mosaic was due to be completed the following day – with a side on view of Glasgow 812. At this stage the only sections still to be completed were the bogies. (Photograph by Ron Toothill)
