Hi, Bryan,
Thanks for your post which shows the level of expectation for this upcoming
Factory Train product. I think I need to clear up a misunderstanding regarding
the building instructions (also known as Building Guides).
I am with the group of AFOLs who worked on this train product. The final
product is still being worked. I can offer the following insight into the
current state for Building Guides as directed by LEGO(R) management on this
product:
- Paper building instructions for all 30 models, will not be available in
the UTB set. Methods for electronic distribution of LDD lxf files for
all 30 models are currently being investigated.
-------
Personally from me-- not from the team:
I hope the eventual solution will be satisfying and fulfill your ability to
build and enjoy all the train models.
Work on getting the final content wrapped around our train creations is still
in-progress. It's a pretty cool train box with a lot of heart and soul poured
into it from we AFOL Train Fans and employees within The LEGO Group. We really
challenged ourselves and inspired one another while we designed each train model
from the parts which were available to us. I have been impressed by the level
of dedication and quality of creations by each AFOL and the LEGO-employees
working on this project. I hope you will enjoy the result of our efforts.
best regards,
James Mathis

James,
Yes, I'm quite excited about this box. And it fits in quite well with how I
build. I'm not a great "from scratch" builder. So I scan the galleries, find
something I like, generate part lists, then shakedown BrickLink for parts.
So I'm looking forward to the new box, new parts and new models to build.
