TRAIN TECH

Eurobricks is proud to announce the new comprehensive Train Forum, TRAIN TECH! Due to the overwhelming interest in train topics and the large number of train fans joining Eurobricks, the Trains & Town forum is now being split into two separate forums. In honor of the new forum, Eurobricks has declared August 2009 as Train Month. Train Tech will have a number of new and exciting topics as well as a special building contest in which participants have an opportunity to win an Emerald Night, as well as two other prizes sponsored by RailBricks e-Magazine for Lego Trains. Check out Train Tech today!

It's the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 Moon landing, the first time that humans have landed on another bit of floating rock. (Well, at least according to recorded history...

) EB members have been getting into the spirit of the event with MOCs and reviews.

CopMike has made the classic footprint (it's inverted but since we love him it's OK), and the 10029 Lunar Lander set has been reviewed by mtMOClug and Holodoc.
