To the musical theme of Thomas the Tank Engine, the small green steam engine

Eurobricks' very own history moderator, I Scream Clone (ISC) "busts his buffers" to create a LEGO Train locomotive that his son would like.

If you are a fan of Thomas the Tank Engine or have a "little lad" that enjoys Thomas, make sure you stop in to see his cute and clever LEGO Train engine.

Ingenious, Imaginative, Impressive.

Hello Beastie

Nathanaël Kuipers Concept Car Review

Nathanaël Kuipers is by many regarded as one of the best Technics designers out there. He left TLG some years ago, but many Technic fans would probably love to see him back at LEGO.

Anyway, Nathanaël has now released his latest model, the Concept Car, for which you can now buy the instructions. EB member Anio did just that and has made a review of the model here.

Eurobricks member Gahrian has posted a wonderful port for the Imperial Flagship to dock at.

Check out all of the great details and leave a comment in the Pirate Forum!

LDD design help needed

A mail dropped in today with an unusual, but interesting request. Apperantly there is a project ongoing about a new in-store digital experience at TLG, and now they need help from LDD users to create some digital models.

So if you are into LDD (or even if you're not), and want to help our favorite supplier of ABS plastic, read more here

16 Wide Modular Town

What would happen if you took all of the current modular buildings and made them 16 studs wide?

EB Member AwesomeTaylor thinks it would look a lot like this.

I think he's right. Why not take a moment to visit the Town forum and let him know what you think?

While you're there, you'll have a chance to see the fully finished and adapted interiors and exteriors that he has created.

BaronSat's been doing (and has shown) 2 great MOCs inspired by the Kenner Micro Collection toys from the 80's.

Now he's put them next to each other to do some pics of them and it looks super.

Thanks for sharing those pics with us BaronSat.

Personally I think the idea of making a tribute to the Kenner Micro Collection is a great idea and it opens a new world of what and how to MOC.

Thanks for all the inspiring work BaronSat

Spotlight in the Train Tech Forum!

LEGO Trains is certainly an enjoyable theme, especially when seeing the detailed creations that some members share among the train community. Many are familar with the works of EB member and LEGO Train fan SavaTheAggie who draws much of his LEGO inspiration from the Texas State Railroad. One of his recent builds is this amazing Texas State Railroad Ten Wheeler (4-6-0) Engine #201.

If the beautiful vintage steam locomotive 201 does not impress you, how about his complete collection of Texas State Railroad steam engines and diesel electric locomotives, plus a motor car:

Make sure you take a moment to admire the detailed LEGO Train locomotives of SavaTheAggie and leave a comment in Train Tech.
