Toys, toys, not only for boys


LA showed me this cool website on Lego.com where you download free software to build your own digital LEGO creation, upload it to a gallery, and you can then order the pieces if you like. I know, they just want to sell more LEGO, but it is quite creative. The great thing is that everybody else can see your designs. I poked around a bit, and there are lots of homemade Lego train designs, including a water tank , UP Northern # 833 (only 442 pieces, $77 to order) and "8-wide 0-6-0 switcher assemble", a streamlined Hudson, etc. But it also looks like you can download the building instructions for free, hear that, EH?

I was thinking of a weapon's grade uranium refinery, since I am not allowed to use iTunes for that. ;)
