XG BC Posted July 9, 2025 Posted July 9, 2025 (edited) are designs of real locomotives allowed or no (without the logo of the railway company, so no ip)? and 300 pieces isn't a lot, for context my small köf 2 non motorized already has 182... Edited July 9, 2025 by XG BC Quote
XG BC Posted July 9, 2025 Posted July 9, 2025 currently in the process of uploading some stuff that fits their description, mostly simple models, due to the parts count restriction Quote
M_slug357 Posted July 10, 2025 Posted July 10, 2025 This sounds like a job for switchers/ shunters! Quote
Hod Carrier Posted July 18, 2025 Posted July 18, 2025 Interesting. Not sure how many people are sticking to the part limit, but might be worth a tickle. Quote

I think most people are but there's one with over 4000 parts! I assume they'll be weeded out at some point in the process. Quote
