Seasons Greetings from Train Tech!

The Christmas and Holiday LEGO Trains are starting to roll into the Train Tech forum. Busy LEGO Train engineers are diligently working on their LEGO Christmas Trains in hope that they will be able to pick up toys from the North Pole and deliver them on Christmas Eve. A shiny Train Tag awaits those who make a successful delivery.

One well-known LEGO Train builder, SavaTheAggie, has even shared his rendition of the famous Christmas poem, Twas The MOC Before Christmas. "When what on my wandering tracks should appear, but a mini-scale coach, and eight tiny traindeer", he poetically writes building a fabulous mini-Santa LEGO Train.

Make sure you stop in and visit Train Tech this holiday season and check out some of the wintery Christmas LEGO Trains. Hot chocolate sold separately.

Eurobricks Special Themes Forum wishes you a very Merry Chrismas!

Take a look at some of the seasonal MOCs our members have made - click the individual pictures to go straight to the threads!

Thanks to Brickton, SI-Mocs, Walt, Snowspeeder Pilot and Schifo Factory.

Best wishes for Christmas and New Year from all the staff at Eurobricks!

Culdee Fell Engine

If you're a fan of rack and pinion LEGO Trains or know any of the stories about the Snowdon Mountain Railway by Rev. W Awdry, creator of Thomas the Tank Engine, you'll enjoy this recent build by LEGO Train fan VMLN8R. Climb to the summit of Train Tech in his amazing Culdee Fell Engine. VMLN8R also shares a video of the LEGO Train as it climbs a steep hill.

One week ago we seriously upgraded our server because we were experiencing slowness due to the increased traffic. Personally I'm noticing a huge difference with everything going much faster now. Are you noticing the effects of the upgrade? Is the site loading fast(er) for you? Fast enough?

Please post your feedback here.

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.

As we enter the holiday season yet again, thoughts turn to fun and winter activities and where better to enjoy those than in your own Winter Village? So far, TLG has provided us with three places to visit, a lovely Winter Toy Shop, an equally inviting Winter Bakery and this year's new Post Office, but wouldn't it be nice to have an even larger Winter Village full of festive fun?

Well, now you can, by expanding the theme with your own Winter inspired creation!

Check out this topic for the rules and discussion!

Deadline Extended to January 30, 2012!
