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, we’ve 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 (...) (17 years ago, 1-Apr-08, to lugnet.publish.railbricks, FTX)
