That is actually a stellar idea! In fact, so good, LEGO Direct is working on
a project right up this alley now. We are still in the pre-planning stages,
but the concept is shaping up to include a combination of stuff:
- Getting started with LEGO Trains
- LEGO Train history
- Tips and Tricks from LEGO Master builders and community builders
- Community projects
and perhaps even some content related to train layouts and displays!
I will pass along more information as I get it. Keep in mind all of this is
very very early on, so things might change!

Jake,
Will this be like the classic idea books that were distributed in toy stores
or will this be more along the lines of the recently published Ultimate Lego
book? I always loved the old idea books.
I'm looking forward to more information on this.

We are still working out the details. The one thing that is certain is that
if the book comes to be, it will include both community and "LEGO" content.
