    If you have missing pieces, you can claim replacement parts: On their website, in your account, in "Orders"; click "Expand" on the order with the missing stuff, then there is a button "Complain about missing parts" under every item of the order. If you click on that you get to a page where you can select how many of which part are missing. When you are done with everything missing from that order, you can send the request and will get the pieces sent to you free of charge. I haven't had any missing parts lately, so I can only say it worked pretty well in 2023 or so. Nevertheless if you have kids that then have to wait for a week or so to continue building is... suboptimal.

    Awesome. @michaelgale you are such a nerd! I bet the 1 m cable actually is 1 m and 24 mm in length. I love it.
  3. Black Knight started following Type E Coupler for LEGO Trains and TrixBrix Ballast Plates compatability
  4. Black Knight started following DB E94 / 194 6th version , HA Bricks in Legal Troubles , PoweredUp Retiring? and 4 others

    Steady! We can do it! We waited for so long. Lets have some more confidence in @michaelgale, he earned a lot of that with his excellent current product line and distribution. :)

    Oh boy, I haven't followed the .NET-stuff, but it seems mono and .NET (win32 only) are deprecated in favor of .NET Core (which seems to be multi-platform). I have no clue if using this .NET Core helps -- I suspect it deprecated the GUI-elements that BlueBrick is using. But here it is anyway: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/install/macos

    It seems a bit excessive to install a virtual machine just to run BlueBrick: You only need a .NET-runtime (aka "Microsoft-Java") installed; which is also documented on the bluebrick homepage: On MacOS or Linux install mono, on Windows install the Microsoft .NET-Framework.

    Holy cow.

    @Pirate_King_1982Their brick quality is... varying. Bluebrixx does not have a factory but rather uses Chinese manufacturers to buy bricks and assemble their sets. They mostly have mediocre bricks but sometimes they are also very, very good: Blaustein Castle had several sets assembled with Gobricks bricks, their V100-8wide locomotive was of excellent bricks by some other manufacturer. I do have several BB trains and train accessories and their brick quality is not optimal, but sufficient. At least most of the time. =)

    Oh my! I already bought the waggons and the E91. You guys really need to slow down before my wife finds out I am overdrawing my housekeeping allowance. Again.
  11. Black Knight
    Oh, then I am terribly sorry for mixing up your E94 and Martins! But if the new E91 is yours: That one has L-wheels, too! =) (btw. the English description in the shop is lacking the (c) Dr. Snotson description) Anyway: Great work. I would love it even more if it would use M- or S-wheels for it would look sooooo much better right next to any steamer or your E19.
  12. Black Knight
    So cool, awesome job!! Will it finally do away with the L-sized wheels? I have your bricks-on-rails version of the E94 here and while it looks great on its own, it looks very weird right next to your E17, E18 and E19 (which are just the most mindbogglingly awesome "Altbau Elektrolokomotiven"-brick-models ever). Representing the 1250 mm wheels of the E94 with L-wheels looks just out of scale when put next to the 1600 mm wheels of the E17/8/9 which are represented by M-wheels.
  13. Black Knight
    Wow. This is completely insane!!! Kudos! 😮 Are you operating the motors manually or is there some kind of automation running the operation? (What would make it even more mindboggingly)
  14. Black Knight
    Ooooh, very nice! Will this upgrade make it to bricks-on-rails? 😬
  15. Black Knight
    I do not have an FX-Brick P40 switch, so I can only infer this from the Trixbrix and L-Gauge libraries in BlueBrick. And there they (Trixbrix R104 and L-Gauge P40) perfectly match. I also would totally recommend using something like BlueBrick if you develop anything that is a bit more complex. ;)
  16. Black Knight
    Don't panic, the damage is done. :) It is not Thomas model, but e.g. SHI have made instructions for their 8-wide BR 05 002. Maybe there are others, too!

    I suppose it is quite simple: They did not extend their legal protection of the old logos. Now everyone can use them legally. If TLG would use them in a new product, they would have a lot more legal freeloaders on their logos -- which would decrease their profits. So they are better off introducing a new logo that they have legal protection on, giving TLG the ban hammer for.
