Verkehrshaus in Luzern

I have never seen a bigger wheel than this one

standing outside the Museum of Transport in

Luzern, Switzerland. It's a TBM; Tunnel boring

machine. This particular one is one of four that

were used to make the longest tunnel in Europe

under the Swiss Alps; The St Gotthardt Railway 

Tunnel that is going to be ready in 2016. 

So I made this left side for my PL album with a

papperned paper from K-design that can easily

be divided into four, and then used tickets, PL

cards from Plus One Minikit (to get more color 

for the brown page), letters, enamel dots,

minialphas, washitape, to decorate.

This wheel is so big you can't even imagine.

So four of these 3000 ton heavy boring 

machines were used to drill / destroy the

soil or rock where the tunnels were made;

two were drilling from the north and two

from the south. 25 - 30 meters of rocks

daily with this machines that were used

instead of dynamite.

I made this page for the Creativica Blog,

and I also made a regular layout with the

same range of papers that I'll show later. 

Thanks for visiting and welcome back!
