RAILBRICKS is now accepting instructions submissions for inclusion on the
RAILBRICKS
website.
We hope to eventually provide the largest repository of train related LEGO
build instructions available for free on the web. Each submission will be
evaluated for clarity and buildability, then judged on its merit. Those
submissions that earn the RAILBRICKS seal of approval will be posted on the
website. We will also provide a forum for you the user to comment on and
discuss each model on several dimensions: difficulty, buildability, rare
parts, and overall wow.
Submission of instructions does not guarantee inclusion on the site. Priority
will be given to complete instructions in .pdf and .html format. LDraw files
may be accepted at our discretion, but they generally will not be converted
to instructions and LDraw files will be given a lower priority on the site.
We cannot accept files in any other format.
You may also link to your brickshelf or other gallery of instruction images.
We will convert these into .pdf files for inclusion on RAILBRICKS.
The categories include:
Diesel locomotives
Steam locomotives
Passenger cars
Freight cars
Maintenance of Way (MOW)
Trackside (Structures, signals, etc.)
Components (e.g., a door, window, wheel truck, etc. design)
To submit a set of instructions, simply log into your RAILBRICKS account. If
you do not have an account, click on the home page and register a new
account. Once logged in, browse to the Build Instructions Section of the
website and click the submit button.
As well as the instructions from recent issues of RAILBRICKS magazine, weve
recently added some instructions created by Didier Enjary of models from
various builders, including Tim Gould, Alban Nanty, Philippe Label, and
Pascal Breard.

Good idea - may I suggest having the option of links to LEGO Factory, but only
if (a) all parts of the entire model can be purchased and (b) you have a decent
set of instructions. It would be useful to have an authoritative index of
Factory train models, but the key to their quality has to be separate clear
instructions.

Jason,
Jordan Schwarz had started something similar to your suggestion here:
http://jordan.pratt.duke.edu/trainbase/, but I dont know how far he got with
the idea. Maybe we can arrange a separate area on RAILBRICKS to either
accommodate the project that Jordan started or utilize the Build Instructions
section for this, though ensuring that parts are available may pose problems
once the Factory palette is updated.
Ive added the option to upload LDD files, which may serve as a solution to your
suggestion.
