The LMS Explorer
Likely due to its massive size and the effort to scale it down to an affordable set, no parts of it were ever released, though most of the bridge was built at LEGO HQ in Billund, Denmark.[1] According to a fan-made recreation in MLCAD by Rock Raiders United user Arthuriel, the LMS Explorer is probably 975 studs (7.8 meters or 25 feet 7 inches) long, 134 studs wide and 133 studs tall and has a piece count of ~57,000 for the hull alone, whereby this number doesn't include an inner structure or interior.
