PennLUG – PennLUG Train Layout Road and Track Standards
Check out the forums for more information and Join PennLUG there as well!
As some of you are aware I have been working on a set of road and track standards for future train layouts. The intension is to bring a greater level of realism and detail to our layouts and create a layout where all the elements are tied together in one fantastic scene. The first steps toward this goal and how it could all work can be found here.
My main goals for this include.
1. A System that can be Easily Built and is Versatile- Modularity is the key here2. Track Ballast and Ties- I’m a train guy and this one is a must for me
3. More Detailed Streets- Road plates a nice but lack versatility
4. A Trolley System- I’m also a trolley fan so this is one I’v been looking forward to including in our layouts
5. Easy Integration with Existing Structures- Buildings built at baseplate level can easily be integrated with brick spacers.

LEGO Color Chart for 2010
Dear all, finally, after many years of discussion we got the go from our Design Lab to share the internal LEGO Color scheme with the LEGO Community.
So please find attached the actual scheme for 2010 for sharing. You can see on the scheme the internal LEGO color number and name.
I feel this is a kind of milestone in the contact between the LEGO Company and the LEGO Community and will ease the communication about the colors tremendously.
