I would thank you, but I did not make it.  I only found it on ebay and posted the pictures to it on here.

Personally, I think it's really neat.  I really like the whole 'Space 1889'/steampunk alternate history concept.  Since Playmobil has made a lot of Victorian stuff, this is an avenue that could be explored more.

Yes, I saw this on ebay too and thought it was really cool. I wanted to post it, but I wasn't sure how and didn't have time to figure it out! Thanks for sharing it.

From the web:  "is set in an era or world where steam power is still widely used—usually the 19th century, and often set in Victorian era England—but with prominent elements of either science fiction or fantasy, such as fictional technological inventions like those found in the works of HG Wells and Jules Verne ..."

Actually, my favorite steampunk series is the Edge Chronicles- books for juvenile readers that are incredibly dark and bloody.
Great custom...
