Steady! We can do it! We waited for so long. Lets have some more confidence in @michaelgale, he earned a lot of that with his excellent current product line and distribution. :) -
Oh boy, I haven't followed the .NET-stuff, but it seems mono and .NET (win32 only) are deprecated in favor of .NET Core (which seems to be multi-platform). I have no clue if using this .NET Core helps -- I suspect it deprecated the GUI-elements that BlueBrick is using. But here it is anyway: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/install/macos

It seems a bit excessive to install a virtual machine just to run BlueBrick: You only need a .NET-runtime (aka "Microsoft-Java") installed; which is also documented on the bluebrick homepage: On MacOS or Linux install mono, on Windows install the Microsoft .NET-Framework.

Holy cow.

@Pirate_King_1982Their brick quality is... varying. Bluebrixx does not have a factory but rather uses Chinese manufacturers to buy bricks and assemble their sets. They mostly have mediocre bricks but sometimes they are also very, very good: Blaustein Castle had several sets assembled with Gobricks bricks, their V100-8wide locomotive was of excellent bricks by some other manufacturer. I do have several BB trains and train accessories and their brick quality is not optimal, but sufficient. At least most of the time. =)

Oh my! I already bought the waggons and the E91. You guys really need to slow down before my wife finds out I am overdrawing my housekeeping allowance. Again.
-
Oh, then I am terribly sorry for mixing up your E94 and Martins! But if the new E91 is yours: That one has L-wheels, too! =) (btw. the English description in the shop is lacking the (c) Dr. Snotson description) Anyway: Great work. I would love it even more if it would use M- or S-wheels for it would look sooooo much better right next to any steamer or your E19.
-
So cool, awesome job!! Will it finally do away with the L-sized wheels? I have your bricks-on-rails version of the E94 here and while it looks great on its own, it looks very weird right next to your E17, E18 and E19 (which are just the most mindbogglingly awesome "Altbau Elektrolokomotiven"-brick-models ever). Representing the 1250 mm wheels of the E94 with L-wheels looks just out of scale when put next to the 1600 mm wheels of the E17/8/9 which are represented by M-wheels.

Ooooh, very nice! Will this upgrade make it to bricks-on-rails? 😬
-
I do not have an FX-Brick P40 switch, so I can only infer this from the Trixbrix and L-Gauge libraries in BlueBrick. And there they (Trixbrix R104 and L-Gauge P40) perfectly match. I also would totally recommend using something like BlueBrick if you develop anything that is a bit more complex. ;)

I suppose it is quite simple: They did not extend their legal protection of the old logos. Now everyone can use them legally. If TLG would use them in a new product, they would have a lot more legal freeloaders on their logos -- which would decrease their profits. So they are better off introducing a new logo that they have legal protection on, giving TLG the ban hammer for.

It would be a blast to setup a "fake" bricklink store: Update it regularly with the contents of PaB and its prices! For safety reasons you could just not ship to anywhere, or demand a handling fee of 500 bucks. That would create a real insight into what is available. Of course this would be something different than some spreadsheet. =)
