Please calm down, enjoy the nice colors and stop harassing / picking on each-other. Even if we not always agree on the same ideas, people should enjoy the LEGO hobby together.

Has anyone bought 9v track from okbrickworks?
JopieK replied to Brickblock1's topic in LEGO Train Tech
There was a review by @zephyr1934 on the fxbricks so check that out and maybe ask him on his findings in that topic? See: -

JopieK replied to Brickblock1's topic in LEGO Train Tech
Is 4Dbricks isn't it? I have a switch from them and works fine. -
What parts did you use for the 'pit'?

Very nice! A lot of nice details. I also created a restaurant to fit with the Spring Festival set, but haven't had any time to take images. Really nice!

Very nice set and review @Bob De Quatre. Most friends sets are nice, but this one is really great. Really like the concept of allowing for changing seasons too.

LEGO Decals printing: what are the best options?
JopieK replied to Hidronax's topic in Minifig Customisation Workshop
For torso stickers it works great, but indeed for legs it could be a little harder, but that is probably the same with the 'original' stickers. Of course for legs UV printing would even be better.- 15 replies

LEGO Decals printing: what are the best options?
JopieK replied to Hidronax's topic in Minifig Customisation Workshop
I use Mactac JT5929PM, that is professional vinyl also used to wrap cars etc. It is comparable to the somewhat older LEGO stickers but a little thicker than the current stickers (much more durable though). Decals are nice for model building but are a totally different league.- 15 replies

LEGO Decals printing: what are the best options?
JopieK replied to Hidronax's topic in Minifig Customisation Workshop
The website is still up and running (but please don't order since we cannot produce): www.ministickers.nl we use a Roland Versacamm VS300 with CMYK Lc Lm and Yellow / Metallic configuration. A lot of clients think the quality is comparable to LEGO, the machine can also cut.- 15 replies

[MOD] Lego 60236 switch motorized with a power functions motor
JopieK replied to brick-builds's topic in LEGO Train Tech
Very nice indeed! Of course the real railroads used cables in the old days, that was the original inspiration. -
LEGO Decals printing: what are the best options?
JopieK replied to Hidronax's topic in Minifig Customisation Workshop
I always print on PVC (the same kind that is used in the signage business to wrap cars etc.). One popular brand is Mactac, othwerwise 3M is also great, it does stick very well even on cars so you probably used PVC with the wrong kind of glue. (Alas my own machine broke down and as I am also working on my PhD I don't know when I have to time to get it repaired and running again)- 15 replies

Straight tracks closer together than eight stud gap?
JopieK replied to Tube Map Central's topic in LEGO Train Tech
In the 12V era the tracks before/after points were situated directly next to each other. Of course you need to think about how wide your trains are as well, but it is doable. -
[Ideas] THE "ADLER" - GERMANY'S FIRST REGULARLY OPERATED TRAIN
JopieK replied to Brick Jongleur's topic in LEGO Train Tech
Welcome @Brick Jongleur and @kondor7001 to Eurobricks in general and Train tech in particular. Thanks for sharing. The first Dutch locomotive was the Arend (Dutch translation of German Adler, I think they got their name from the German locomotive). Interestingly enough both were lost and a replica was presented at their 100 year anniversary (according to Wikipedia). -

Really nice ship. @Supersick_. Would have been great as a real set indeed, especially as it could be either a pirate or a 'confederate' ship (maybe it used to be a soldiers ship but taken over by the pirates?).
