WesternOutlaw Posted July 22, 2017 A chilling breeze blows into Eurobricks Train Tech followed by a few dry (tan) tumbleweeds. A ghostly train has arrived at the depot to let a figure dressed in black step off. Looks like there's been a few changes around these parts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Murdoch17 Posted July 22, 2017 It's been a long time since I've seen that specific ghost train, a very long time indeed. Wellcome back! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ColletArrow Posted July 22, 2017 Good to see you back. Although I wasn't here properly when you were last, I have been well aware of your absence. Also, tumbleweed isn't a new thing here; it can be very quiet sometimes . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WesternOutlaw Posted July 22, 2017 Thank you ALL for the nice "welcome back". I'm still acquainting myself with the forums and some folks I don't remember. It has been around 5 years since I've visited, 7 since Train Tech was established. It's great to read your comments - they make me smile. I tip my black hat to the moderators for keeping EB #1 (esp. Train Tech and Town); as well as you guys that frequent the forum. EB has always been about the great community of members like you. Hope no one minds if I share some thoughts from time-to-time. Haven't done any LEGO Train building in a VERY LONG time. My train engine is a bit rusty... EDIT: I think this is where I last left off (have to add at least one): Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toastie Posted July 22, 2017 A very warm welcome back - I missed your comments, forum moderation, organizing skills, ideas, so many things! That makes my day. No - no one minds what so ever. In contrast. Warmly, Thorsten Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rijkvv Posted July 23, 2017 Welcome back TheBrickster WesternOutlaw! I'm not that active on the forum anymore, occasionally visit it, but I liked reading your articles and I hope more will come. I was known as Richie back then, but changed my username as well (and thinking about changing it again). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Man with a hat Posted July 24, 2017 There's a surprise. Good to see you back. And please share your thoughts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks - I think a few have used the "Brickster" name since, so thought WO might be a little more fitting. I've also been using this name for my military images.

Trekkie99 Posted July 26, 2017 (edited) Hi @WesternOutlaw! I read that you said you do opinion pieces, and I just want to say that those are the kind of posts I just love. Edited July 26, 2017 by LegoMonorailFan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your reply is so warm and welcoming. That phrase is maybe well known to so many people out there - it was not to me. I like to use it when things like this happen. Thank you very much! This forum is so much more than presenting LEGO ideas! All the best, Thorsten. Edited July 28, 2017 by Toastie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
