This issue includes:
Congratulations to Carlos Mendez, Lluis Gibert, Iñigo Lazcanotegui, and the rest of the team at Hispabrick Magazine for another excellent issue.
Jeramy Spurgeon and the team from Railbricks have been providing an excellent service for LEGO train fans for a while now and Issue 4 of Railbricks is no exception.
As with the previous issues the magazine is packed full of interesting articles including information about Brian Williams’ Royal Train, technical ideas, computerisation (DCC) of track, model instructionsm, contests and heaps more.
If you have any interest in LEGO trains, or LEGO in general, I highly recommend checking it out.
The second issue of Spanish LEGO fan publication Hispabrick Magazine is now available for download (in regular and super-high-res flavors).
In this issue:
With plenty of great photos and even several articles in English, there’s a lot to see in this issue. Be sure to check out all 67 pages of LEGO goodness in Hispabrick Magazine 002.
For those of you interested in having a glossy printed version of Hispabrick magazine to peruse on the bus, in the bathtub, while skydiving, or other places away from a computer, you can now purchase Hispabrick for 9.73 euros.
The print version includes all the great content of the original PDF, including set reviews, how-to articles, and event coverage.
Of course, you can also still download the PDF for free.
(I love the fact that the “Related Books” are poetry. I’ve always said that my two artistic passions are related, so that seems somehow appropriate.)
RAILBRICKS magazine hits its third issue this week with tips, reviews and ideas for all LEGO train fans. To quote the release the issue features
• PF Trains + 9v Train Tricks
• Creating Wooden Trestle Bridges
• RCX (PBricks) and 9v Train Integration
• Interview with Swoofty
• and much more…..
and having looked through it I’d have to agree. It’s a top notch publication so Jeramy Spurgeon and the rest of the editing team deserve much kudos. Check it out.

Editor Joe Meno has announced that the latest issue of BrickJournal (issue 9) is now available for download.
Joe says that this will be the last free issue, and that the journal will be available in printed form starting next February. Read more about this change in his announcement on LUGNET, where you’ll find the link to the download site.
BrickJournal editor Joe Meno has announced that the Web site for the magazine has been officially launched. Here’s what Joe has to say:
I’m happy to announce that the BrickJournal website has been launched:
Issue 8 is online and available for viewing. Issue 7 is also uploaded but is only available to web subscribers. I am uploading other issues and hope to have all archived by the end of August.
Issues will be uploaded quarterly to coincide with releases. What the website will offer is an interactive approach to reading the magazine, with links to related subjects and also web-exclusive materials, such as video. This will become an archive for the magazine and related materials as time goes on, and with the event calendar tied in, this will become something of a timeline for the community.
Subscribers will be able to access all the archived content for use. Public visitors will only be able to view the current issue and what is designated as public, such as instructions and news. With a news page, BrickJournal will be able to report faster on events and also be able to include more content, such as photos that were submitted, but not used in the magazine, for future issues. For a limited time a subscription to the webpage will be $20/year.
Future plans for the website include establishing an image bank for BrickJournal photography (thank you Didier), a page for sellers, and a couple of other surprises! Plans are also underway for a print version of the magazine!
Many thanks to Joel Bush, Brian Flannery, and Brian Sykora of Near-Time, the webservice I am working with on this ongoing project.
Comments and feedback are welcome!
Head on over to the site and check it out! I’ll be sure to pass on any comments you have to Joe if you leave any on this post.
