   I am torn between releasing for free both the instruction book and sticker artwork files for the Brick Built Trains brand train set and maintaining this product as a printed book for purchase. I don’t intend to send all my designs to the printing press or hold them hostage for sales, but some designs seem more or less worthy of a special accommodation.

To be honest I toyed with that idea myself for The Ghan and was swayed more by laziness than generosity. I think that both are worthwhile. In some ways I think releasing custom kits and instructions is actually more beneficial to the community than releasing them for free as it provides an easy access point for people into the hobby. We in .trains know where to look for free instructions etc. but someone else may not and it might be their first introduction to Lego trains.

   Well, I guess I’m more interested right now to make the sales of the brick trains go forward and find good homes.

I’m sure they’ll find good homes. I look forward to seeing your next project.
