This blog and pages are all about Lego® trains, modelling and programming of the Lego® Mindstorms EV3.

I am by no means an expert, neither in programming nor modelling, but hopefully there are some tips/examples that others find useful. I have also tried to collect some of the many web resources that helped me exploring this hobby.

Have fun!

I have been fascinated by trains since my little brother and I inherited a HO scale Märklin layout in our childhood. After abandoning the hobby for many years, I picked it up again back in 2008, but failed to create the big layout I was dreaming of, due to lack of space and time.

A few years ago, a friend of ours gave us a Lego train set as a present. That re-ignited my childhood fondness of Lego as well trains, and I was having a lot of fun building the 60052 Cargo Train set. Looking around for more Lego trains, I noticed the Lego Mindstorms EV3, and quickly decided to try it out.

It was amazingly fun to play with. Since then I have explored, build, programmed and planned a lot of fun stuff to do with Lego.
