Some time ago marshal_banana won our Spaghetti Western competition with a stunning (modular) Western Town.

He's now doing pretty well on CUUSOO, so let's help him make the 10.000 votes for this MOC to be considered by LEGO for production. Who wouldn't a new Western Theme that comes with a Western Town where each house can be bought as an individual set?

Wanna help out and remind LEGO how much we want Western to return? Go here on CUUSOO to cast your vote!

EDIT: And now Brickset is teaming up with Eurobricks to see if we can get this to LEGO Review status at Cuusoo by achieving 10000 supporters. If the Minecraft community can do it for their chosen model, so can the online LEGO community! VOTE NOW!!!

EDIT2: There's Gambort joining our little experiment on The Brothers Brick

EDIT3: More sites in the LEGO community are supporting: Toys N Bricks, Classic-Town and Railbricks.

EDIT4: Our very own Classic-Pirates and Star Wars Blog both jumped on the train!

EDIT5: 2500 supporters reached - Lets see if we can do that number x4

EDIT6: 3000+ supporters reached!

If there are other communities out there willing to support, your help is much appreciated!

Sometimes contests at Eurobricks are not just about building the most incredible MOC, especially of the LEGO Train variety. This past weekend, EB LEGO Train fans participated in a different type of contest based on photography. In a fun and entertaining topic called Maersk Madness, LEGO Maersk owners had the opportunity to photograph their official LEGO Maersk Train and share their image in a "most unique and interesting" photograph contest. As always, the quality of the entries were superb and after EB members cast their votes for best LEGO Train image, the winners were awarded an exclusive LEGO Maersk blue EB Train Tech tag.

Congratulations to EB's LEGO Maersk Train photograph winners!

First Place: Woolie (Night Shot)

Second Place: Vlai23 (Mad Tea Party)

Third Place: Wondermonkey (Beach Scene)

Elmore 1972

Some LEGO Train builders have the uncanny ability to create a MOC that goes beyond the limits of LEGO Train tracks capturing a sense of realism and authentic model railroading. LEGO Train fans Gambort and Scruffulous combined their efforts to create Elmore 1972, a rural Australian Town & Train diorama for BrickVention 2012. The judges must have been impressed awarding the fantastic LEGO Train scene "Best in Show".

EB congratulates them for their amazing creation! For more images of their splendid LEGO Train diorama or to read what others are saying about Elmore 1972, visit Train Tech, EB's official LEGO Train community.
