  1. Hi Ben, very nice job. Best way is to upload them to Flickr or so. I regularly visit Bochum Dahlhausen. A bit far for me, but I probably need to go to the Munich erea for some project soon so you never know! I also like the Deutsches Technik Museum where they also show the history of trains / tracks / steam engines.
  2. I'm quite sure that LEGO does monitor such a things. Why do you think they put a red bogie plate in the Christmas set of this year? Apart from that, the employees are apparently free to sell them. A little bit the same with the LIT sets...
  3. Nice addition to you train Karen! I like the outhouse too.
  4. You can say that again travy ;) interesting to see they skipped the "Gray era". First and only set that has the 50254 wheels in red according to bricklink!
  5. They look really great Jaap! So many details!!! Is that the new rail bridge between Muiden and Almere?
  6. Real customs is always difficult to support unless one asks a price that would be way too high. Especially of one needs to print on transparent (with or without white ink / metallics). Even if people supply their custom drawings it seems to be quite difficult to do it in such a way that it doesn't take (e.g.) me up to a few hours to make it printer ready. I try but seem to be struggling for certain people that I promised in the past.
  7. It seems to be a nice set for train fans... Too bad LEGO only made it for Employees and not for AFOL train fans: http://www.bouwsteentjes.info/exclusieve-lego-4002016-50-years-on-track-employee-gift-2016-opgedoken/
  8. Looks very impressing kjm161. Also the setup as a whole of course!
  9. 50254 would be the typical wheel for narrow gauge (that is what LEGO uses). 57999 would be used if extra traction would be needed I guess...
  10. It is a very nice competition indeed! Seems to be that the kids like it very much.
  11. Wine, brrr. Thanks anyway McWaffel. I prefer to either start windows using parallels but would rather prefer a Mac version, Wine is a hack in my opinion.
  12. Very nice Asper, I already spotted it at 1000steine. Too bad I'm very busy with my work, otherwise I would have tried to visit Fanwelt, have been there before and always nice!
  13. Well another great looking train "LEGO Train 12 Volts", looks very nice! Nice coloring, but I like the front best!
  14. It is not Times New Roman, but of course it is a Serif Font (and Times New Roman is the most famous Serif Font in the computer era I think).
  15. Well I have reproduced them so I should be able to find out for you ;) Well I found it, I use "STIXGeneral" for my reproductions.
  16. Hi guys and gals, yesterday and the day before yesterday some friends and I were again referees at the FIRST LEGO League. A fellow referee counting the scores. In between the matches. Robot ready for action! I like the theme very much. Nice models, nice challenges. The highest result was 114 points, quite low, but the missions were also harder than previous years. A lot of beginner teams only tried maybe two missions. Some special needs kids were very fanatic but the penalties were quite violent bringing them even in the negatives. (That is a pity from our perspective, but we still need to be objective of course). Most of the referees in our region already attend the FIRST LEGO League regional finals for quite some years already but this year we also added new blood to the team. Since this year was the first time we had two days, there was a big surprise: the favorite team did not make it to the Dutch Championships on the second day while a mediocre team (place six on robot achievement) ran away with the price. We just not anticipated that but only now realized the the other score are also very important to make it to the next level. Somewhat a wake-up-call for us all. While we of course think that every team should have an equal opportunity we did not know that the parts were equally important (we should have know since it is apparent http://www.firstlegoleague.org/challenge ) but for the referees of course it is during the match only important to interpret the missions very well and that was hard enough this year with the some what cryptic rules on the manure etc (although most teams didn't get to that in our region). Are there more eurobricks people that play a role in the FLL?
  17. Nice job! Interesting to see that a lot of them look the same :)
  18. The stores are inside the park so unfortunately if the park is closed you can't reach it!
  19. Really nice! Great site trains! Also very nice scenery! That very classic train is also a nice one! And the kids also seem to enjoy themselves very much :) also nice getting together with model railroaders ;)
  20. Maybe you should present in in some other way, I can't unrar it and it also seems to be rather unsafe to do it in this way Ronan!
  21. In the LEGO Idea comments.
  22. Saw even a reported has interest in writing an article about it, that should get you another few hundred supporters ;)
  23. Haha, interesting... The LEGO version will need 'some' more stickers though ;)
  24. Great name for a great ship! You did a marvelous job! Should become a flagship for BeLUG :)
  25. Of course it has been done already:
