The BlueBrixx Thread

I have the same tripple switch and didn't have any problems. The wheel assembly widths have enough tolerance, but i only use the newest style lego wheels on all rolling stock (Lego, BB and others)

Thanks Polarlicht. I ended up ordering genuine 57878 wheels for all my wagons.

How do people in the UK go about ordering parts from Bluebrixx? They seem to ship to every other country

It seems that BlueBrixx has solved their issues with their train wheels see their website (https://www.bluebrixx.com/en/trains/401327/Theme-set-Trains-improved-Axles-and-Wheels-BlueBrixx) and a review (in German):

I haven't tested these yet, my most recent purchase where 3 second hand 8w Rheingold coaches. They look excellent, and most of the bricks are good, but they all required longer axes and ball bearings before they had an acceptable rolling resistance
 and didn't derail in curves.

Also maybe worth mentioning here is that BlueBrixx seems to have started a whole new niche of brick build trains on 1:18 scale. After their release of the V100 in this scaled turned out to be quite popular they have announced a green Crocodile and a BR 01 in the same scale. These models are too large for my taste (and my house), but it is nice to see that there are more possibilities then only 8w and 6w trains.
