Kickin' off the dust of ye' old RAILBRICKS blog tonight. I just finished up the instructions for the first custom kits and have those sent off to the printers. We have so much material for Issue 6 that it will be a double issue! I'm wrapping that up soon so that I can finish up the MOCs I'm taking to Brickworld. So little time, so much to do!
I've been so busy, that I've had little time to browse the internet for great MOCs, but tonight, I logged into Brickshelf and was overwhelmed! I'm glad to see builders staying active. Here are just a few MOCs that I trainspotted this evening:
Caravelle X 4300
Swoofty always impresses....
A nice engine shed
Where are the RAILBRICKS custom kits??
We announced that the new custom kits would become available in March of 2009, but March is gone and past and where are the kits?
We've been very busy compiling the next issue of RAILBRICKS (Issue #6) and thus have had very little time to devote to getting the finalizations of the cutom kits in order.
We have set price points for the kits which are as follows. We hope to have these available within the coming weeks.

Train Motors will be cheaper
A lot of commotion around the net suggests that LEGO train fans are unhappy about the price of the new rechargeable battery box . Gladly, LEGO will offset this with a cheaper train motor, about 1/3 the cost of the 9V version!
$10.99 USD
Emerald Night and New Power Functions available at Shop@Home
Many of the new Power Function Elements and the Emerald Night itself is now available for pre-order on the LEGO Shop@Home website.
A new Power Functions Kit includes all of the needed elements to power and light your new Emerald Night set. Each of the elements is sold separately as well.
Another kit (K10194) includes the above as well as the Emerald Night and the new Flex Track, which is strangely missing separately on the Shop@Home site.
