This is good news. I've emailed LEGO about this problem myself. Simply being
able to filter by 'Trains' and 'Cool Creations' together would be a big help,
but it seems they couldn't achieve that.
It's a shame it takes such a major overhaul for these changes to come through.
From past projects I've worked on I know this is an unreliable strategy as there
are always things that get missed or untested, then you have to wait ages to get
them looked at again. Still, we shall wait and see.
Commendable as this website is, it's still not going to be something that gets
recommended by LEGO themsleves. Factory is a brilliant scheme, and I suppose
it's inevitable with something like this that the fans should take it on and get
a few steps ahead of the company itself. But it's a shame LEGO can't divert a
few more resources to keep up.
One thing I will note is you aren't necessarily solving that lady's problem.
What you've linked to are collections of some pretty big and expensive models
(admittedly by some very skilled and prolific designers). I only have the one
wagon on mine ('jjrailton'), but I do try to keep the size and affordability of
my models down.
I'd like to try some more things with the 10183 palette, and whatever we see as
a palette in LDD2. However, I haven't actually bought even my own hopper wagon.
I'd love to see if anyone else has. I'd also be interested to hear how many of
the builders you've linked to have actually bought any or all of the huge
numbers of models they've submitted.
