Toastie Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 Happy Holiday Season! Has been quite a while since my last post. Since LT12V has brought it up (see thread somewhere below): I am indeed "working" on instructions of his fabulous BR01. It will take some time though - actually I haven't started, but over Christmas I love to make some progress. We usually spend the time in the middle of nowhere of Northern Germany - with plenty of time. This is unfortunately not the case during everyday's life ... In the mean time, I have assembled 10 or more instructions for some MODs/MOCs I came up with over the years. My question is: Where to put them? I have sincerely tried to get in touch with RAILBRICKS folks - no answer. Nevertheless, I believe that this website is potentially the best repository for this stuff. The entries were reviewed and then they were carefully made publicly available. Is RAILBRICKS definitely dead? Just checked - the front page looks terrible - all sorts of errors are listed - embarrassing - but it is still functioning. Why not throwing out all that time consuming interactive stuff and keep it as that: A repository. Somebody has to take care of the quality of entries. I volunteer to do that. Any updates on theses issues? And: Are there good alternatives to publish >train< and related instructions? All the best, Thorsten Quote

All the best, Thorsten well, their is L gauge website, the last stuff was uploaded in 2011 though: http://lgauge.com/ Quote
HoMa Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 Hi Thorsten, what about publishing instructions via Flickr in the Lego instructions group or try mocplans.com (which I never tried neither as instructions author nor customer) Holger Quote
Redimus Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 (edited) Could ask one of the admins on here to add them to the resources thread on this forum too (I'm always keen to see new ideas and reverse engineering them to fit my needs). Edited December 4, 2015 by Redimus Quote

Hello Thorsten I'm also quite sad that RAILBRICKS seems to be in limbo. I contributed quite a few instructions when it was active. The last time I tried to submit instructions, I couldn't get in touch with anyone so I gave up and just put the instructions on Rebrickable.com. I guess it's another case of life getting in the way for the people in charge of RAILBRICKS. If you can get access to the controls of the site and need help with it I'd be interested in getting involved. Just send me a PM and I'll be glad to respond. Dan-147 Quote
Stash2Sixx Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 I believe Cale is in charge of RailBricks now, and he is a member on these boards. Another useful website is L-gauge.org, but I don't recall if Michael has a spot yet for user added instructions. He is also a member on these boards. Quote
CrispyBassist Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 well, their is L gauge website, the last stuff was uploaded in 2011 though: http://lgauge.com/ There's a new one: L-Gauge.org Michael Gale's runs the site, and he may be interested in prototype instructions. Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 First of all a warm greeting of welcome back Toastie! Thank you for taking in charge this uneasy project. I think that the website rebrickable.com could be a valid option, otherwise I can suggest to use brickshelf.com Quote
