Nice try to make it "German", but the house is in English, not in German style - and the sign "Vorfahrt" (= priority road) is not on the left side - and not directly before a railroad-crossing. Funny idea: you can ignore the red lights and the gate-pile, because you always can say: "the traffic sign has said "Vorfahrt", so I can go at first." Whould this really impress the train, coming from the cross-direction?

Kooshmeister ◊ 2009-07-12 22:58	Yeah, looking at the real thing, this thing's wheels are too small and the body is too long. I call made-for-movie. -- Last edit: 2009-07-12 22:58:51
