Sometimes contests at Eurobricks are not just about building the most incredible MOC, especially of the LEGO Train variety. This past weekend, EB LEGO Train fans participated in a different type of contest based on photography. In a fun and entertaining topic called Maersk Madness, LEGO Maersk owners had the opportunity to photograph their official LEGO Maersk Train and share their image in a "most unique and interesting" photograph contest. As always, the quality of the entries were superb and after EB members cast their votes for best LEGO Train image, the winners were awarded an exclusive LEGO Maersk blue EB Train Tech tag.

Congratulations to EB's LEGO Maersk Train photograph winners!

First Place: Woolie (Night Shot)

Second Place: Vlai23 (Mad Tea Party)

Elmore 1972

Some LEGO Train builders have the uncanny ability to create a MOC that goes beyond the limits of LEGO Train tracks capturing a sense of realism and authentic model railroading. LEGO Train fans Gambort and Scruffulous combined their efforts to create Elmore 1972, a rural Australian Town & Train diorama for BrickVention 2012. The judges must have been impressed awarding the fantastic LEGO Train scene "Best in Show".

EB congratulates them for their amazing creation! For more images of their splendid LEGO Train diorama or to read what others are saying about Elmore 1972, visit Train Tech, EB's official LEGO Train community.

Classic-Town.net and Eurobricks invite you to create your own addition to the popular winter village subtheme that TLG has presented during the holiday season for the past three years.

In what one might call an act of epic awesomeness, EB member and Thinking Brickly blogger, fallentomato has compiled an excellent article, fully researched, well organized and with a solid argument for one side of the recent Friends "controversy".

Instead of doing what so many have done and just blindly jumping into the ring and flailing their proverbial internet fists, fallentomato has actually fully researched the subject and presented his findings and constructed his opinion thoroughly and expertly.

Are LEGO Trains Classed as "Real" Model Trains?

LEGO Train fan Paul B asks the most interesting question in EB's Train Tech forum. While the answer is most probably "yes" to most LEGO Train builders, some HO and other non-LEGO Train hobbyists might answer otherwise.
