After the previous post on Ararat 1972 and Cale’s piece on Brick Model Railroading as such, I think the pieces are now set for the next installment in the series of inspiring layouts: Corfe Castle Station by Carl […]

Railway Stations are massive things, definitely in the scales we as Lego Trainheads are building. A great example is Cale’s post about the PennLUG Lines, which shows that a Main Railway station easily rivals with […]

Would be great to hear what your experiences are! I remember doing some research myself for exactly the same reason: Matching colors with your printer is just so much of a pain… However, as usual, it got drowned […]

Yes that’s part of the long-term planning of this series as well! The RSD-1 is definitely not the only one, for example, a Dutch museum is currently trying to get another wartime beauty shipped back to Europe. […]

After Elroy followed up on my article about scaled Lego Trains within an already scaled L-gauge environment, this time around with a moving example, I had to follow-up on that one again. For good reasons though. […]

Thanks for the compliment David! It’s difficult to find out the exact right tone for Brick Model Railroader so it was a bit of a gamble to write this article, but since the Flickr Lego Trains group has about 10 […]

We as Model Railroaders have a tendency to love locomotives. This is pretty understandable, seeing that without loco’s, our trains would just be big pieces of metal rusting on tracks. However, we should not […]

There are a lot of divisions within the Model Railways community. They can be about scale (our own L-Gauge, 0, h0, N, TT, Spur 1, G), but also about era (Epoche I-VI), type of railway (continuous vs. […]

Blame Monday but you are absolutely right! Come to think about it… if we would think 6 wide it would be even 1:1.5 scale 😉

Have you ever thought about owning a 1:5 (more like 1:2 if you read Glenn’s post on scaling, thanks for pointing that one out Matt) scale Garden Modelrailway? You know, like the ones you sometimes see in parks […]

I have to agree with Patrick, this looks very promising! I’ve been thinking about a layout on the basis of one of those trackplans on carendt.us forever, at least since I had my own room in the student dormitory I […]

Just like our big sister from which we draw part of our inspiration (and part of our name), the Brick Model Railroader will have a recurring item where we (re)-visit layouts. For inspiration, to draw inspiration […]

Germany has always been one of the more respected Railway countries in Europe. Their transport system, combining ICE, IC and Regional trains with busses, trams and metro’s, has always been a fan favorite in […]

After having seen several old-school trains here on Brick Model Railroader, it’s now time for some contemporary models, like this Pesa Dart. It is owned by PKP Intercity, part of the Polish State railways, […]

Interesting. I actually just take the blueprints, scale them to 1:45, print them out and then just do overlays with bricks to see if things match up the way I like it. See my method in action here: […]

Hmm, where I said “CC 21002” I meant CC21003. Owned by SNCF, the French State Railways, obviously.

Great article, however, a bit difficult for people from across the pond who tend to use the metric system 😉 Therefore my question: to which scale does 8 studs : 10 feet most closely resemble?
For example, […]
