    You may not realise this or it may have been accidental but answering a (reasonable) question in large font size in capitals is like shouting the answer, and is generally considered bad online etiquette.

    I look forward to your Lego model of those units.
  3. idlemarvel
    Voted for you on Ideas.

    Every day is a school day!

    Love the mini Horizon Express. I really must get around to adding a driving trailer car to my (6 wide) version.
  6. idlemarvel
    Very good. I love the mail van. On the loco could you not use the "Orient Express" coupling rod rather than the Technic creation you have made? You don't have to buy a set to get them these days!

    I don't use tags and I don't find them helpful. In most cases the title contains or should contain enough info for search purposes.

    The android version is on apkmirror website, although I've not downloaded it myself. You need to be a bit of a techy to get the version you want from apkmirror and not be hoodwinked into downloading some hokey software inadvertently. Don't know about iOS devices.

    Thanks! I'm glad I preferred the most recent version!

    They're both good renditions of Murdoch, from my memory of playing with my grandson and his Brio version! If I had to choose I slightly prefer the earlier, squarer studded version with the black coupling rods.

    Love the Beluga! By single axle you mean like a Talgo train? There are a few examples of those in this forum.
  12. idlemarvel
    Amazing work on capturing the striping with minimal stickers. Have you built it IRL yet or is that a joy to come?
  13. idlemarvel
    Excellent models. Where did you get all those 2X and 4X blue train windows? There's a heck of a lot of them in those 4 cars! Thanks for the pictures and video.

    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.
  16. 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.
  20. idlemarvel
    I'm looking forward to your progress. I love the HSB.
  21. idlemarvel
    Amazing work. Well done.
  22. idlemarvel
    Agreed.
  23. idlemarvel
    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.
  24. idlemarvel
    The printed version is now available, see post #1 for details.
  25. idlemarvel
    And I never thought I'd see a reference to Jethro Tull on a Lego forum!
