    The Museum(not RR but helps) has its own events, and the RR is very resistant to change, while their Marketing director Johnathan Smith, who is harder to get a direct answer than Jen Psaki, I talked to and he said no about making custom EBT Lego sets and mocs and selling them and even said no to lego events about the EBT

    what do u mean by “If the RR is looking at doing an event at some point, we could consider that (we do one each May in Latrobe for the Ligonier Valley Model Railroad club).”

    I am just confused by what you are referring to

    I made this in Mecabricks, as I made a lego version of 484 northern that sits in montana this summer and ran out of money, but very good news,

    I have a talent for vectorization:

    basically a vectorized file is a special digital outline that uses math instead of pizels to define the image quality, basically if you zoom in on the image, it never loses quality because the printer/program drew the line instead of making an approximation with pixels

    that in mind, I have done something never done before:

    as in the crocodile locomotive set, you have the train, the stand, and the erecting drawing placard

    for my lego version of the great northern S2 2584; still exists in Havre, Montana a static display of what was once a high speed(100 mph) oil burner, I have the train, the stand and the placard; but the best part of the placard is that it is a vectorized version of the original baldwin erecting drawing I got from the 1938 locomotive cyclopedia and the placard is very nice on an 8×16 black tile seen below

    to get to context, I am going to help digitize the EBT files next summer hopefully and in exchange for my free labor next summer, I am going to ask for high res digital scans of the EBT baldwin drawings so I can make placards of those rare drawings(through a complicated series of events the EBT is the only ones on earth who have baldwin erecting drawings of their engines); and to help out I will give them back the vectorized file for free so they can recooperate more money for their restoration projects(the special type of file can be put on hats t-shirsts, engravings, etc)

    to where I baought such a placard; it was only 20 dollars but I did the set-up/design around 35 for him to do it; go to Marc from https://millionprints.com/ and tell him William sent you
