Welcome to week 214 of the Tuesday Photo Challenge!

First of all, thank you for the great response to last week’s theme; I will post the round up, some time on Wednesday.

The theme for this week is inspired by some of the fun that I have been having with Lego’s Creator Expert kits, which are works of art and a joy to assemble! In the way that jigsaw puzzles are a great, almost meditative distraction to our daily lives, I find similar relaxation in these kits.

With the theme of Assemble, you can go into a number of directions, as the English language provides some options to its meaning. Thus your challenge is to let your mind take you on a mission to assemble creative juices and share the artistic expression that you find at the end of this mission! Most of all, have fun with the theme and surprise yourself!

Here’s the kit that I put together this past weekend…

The Crocodile Locomotive

As I’ve been a fan of trains for as long as I can remember, I have always had a special place in my heart for this locomotive, the Crocodile. This class of electric locomotive was designed to handle pulling heavy loads up the steep inclines of the Swiss railroad. The Lego model is true to the original in the articulated cab with the transformer, that connects to the front and aft sections that contain the motors and drive axles. The Lightailing light kit really makes this model stand out.

The full rules of this challenge are in TPC Guidelines, but here’s the tl;dr:

  • Write a post with an image for this week’s topic
  • Please tag your post with fpj-photo-challenge (if you’re not sure about how tags work, please check out this WordPress article about tagging posts)
  • Create a pingback link to this post, so that I can create a post showing all of the submissions over the week (note: pingbacks may not appear immediately, as my site is set up to require approval for linking to it; helps against previous bad experiences with spamming)
  • Have fun creating something new (or sharing something old)!!

Find your assembly point and stay safe!

  1. Love Lego, you never get too old to enjoy it!

    1. Ken, I agree; I’ve gotten a completely new appreciation for the joy of playing with Lego!

  2. Looks terrific. Can’t say I have anything remotely like that. So maybe I can give you a photo of the food that I tried to put together: https://anotherglobaleater.wordpress.com/2021/02/07/baked-samosa/

  5. I love trains too, in all sizes, from toys and models up to the real thing. I always dreamed that one day I’d get to travel on the Swiss trains but at least I have seen a very good miniature railway depicting part of Switzerland and I will have to be content with that. Lego is great fun although when I played with in in the early 60s it was much more basic.

    1. I’d love to get a chance to see the Crocodile in person; this one locomotive has always intrigued me. I too grew up on the Lego bricks of the 1960s and remember countless hours of fun designing and building all sorts of structures.
