    Just a passing thought. I can't think of anywhere else there could be such polite, passionate, considerate, thoughtful and erudite discussion of my favourite hobby. Long live Eurobricks!

    Agreed. I don't see the value in another poll, even though only about 160 votes have been cast, presumably by the regular users who have an opinion on the matter, out of 5000 "active" users. Another poll would just confirm the general feeling of the same people, summed up nicely by @Jim.
  3. idlemarvel
    Agreed.

    I voted for #1 because of all the options it was the option that best fitted with my wishes. That's not being selfish, it's how democracy works. I can't second guess what other people might prefer. I have nothing against alt-bricks, I'm just not interested personally. When the votes are counted, if I don't get my preferred choice, that's fine with me.

    I voted option 1 as I would prefer to see things remain as they are, but would happily accept options 2 or 3 if that's how the vote goes. I have occasionally dipped my toes into alt-brick waters, but always come back to Lego, which despite its flaws fulfills my brick-building wants/needs. I like this forum, and the forum interaction style, so I would hate to see any change drive users away. I despise all the algorithm-driven social media nonsense (FB, X, TikTok, etc), this forum with civilised and polite discussions is a haven from all that.

    Great resource, thanks for providing this to the community for free. If you want to publish it in paper form, I can recommend Kindle (Amazon) Direct Publishing. It's free to you, you get more or less world-wide distribution, and all you need is a PDF. You set the price, once they have added print costs and commission, so you can make it non-profit if you wish. I have published three books this way, two Lego related. If you want to know more PM me.

    I'm looking forward to your progress. I love the HSB.

    Amazing work. Well done.
  9. idlemarvel
    Agreed.

    Both very good quality BDP submission material. Well done. Ref the LNER you could include any additional bricks required and add the supplementary instructions, as I guess you would do with the PUP option. I assume you have to provide a display or push along version. The front bogie on the loco would look better if you could use 6L black axle rather than brick yellow pins.

    The printed version is now available, see post #1 for details.

    And I never thought I'd see a reference to Jethro Tull on a Lego forum!

    This is not the right place, although I'm sure there'll be many users interested. I would have thought your best bet would be eBay auctions.
  14. idlemarvel
    Great idea. Can we have a forehead-slap one please!

    Very nice. The telephone box is really good. I've often thought about modding Hogsmeade station, you've given that thought some impetus.
