Youtube: freight car OOtz 50 by BlueBrixx
Published on 15.02.2019
Today, Marco uses the prototype of a new locomotive to stylishly present a new freight car: the self unloading car OOtz 50 was a real heavyweight in German freight traffic until the end of the 1990s. 75 m³ of cargo space, 54 tons payload – there was plenty of room inside!

The first prototypes from our cooperation with CustomBricks
Published on 12.02.2019
In our BlueBrixx Specials we already offer a large selection of military models from the period of World War II. This range will soon be extended to include models that CustomBricks has developed and that we produce as cooperation partners.
 |
In addition to an big truck transport wagon for the railway, we have already built three tank models: The Wasp is already available in our shop, the Marder III and the half-track vehicle SdKfz 7-1 with Flak 38 will soon follow.
 |
With three variants of the Opel Blitz, we are entering the production of military trucks: one variant has a removable canopy above lorry bed and a smoke mortar as a trailer. The back of the next model is loaded with ammunition and tools. The third Opel Blitz is loaded like the second, but a trailer type Sd Ah 52 offers even more storage space. These three trucks fit perfectly on the truck transport wagon (without trailer).

Prototype of the next Manhattan module arrived
Published on 10.02.2019
Many fans of our big Manhattan construction project ask us about the next module. The answer is: we are working on it! We have just built the prototype. Unfortunately, some time will pass before the finished set arrives, but you can already see it here. If you use the button "inform me, when available", we will automatically send you an email as soon as the set goes on sale.
The Brookfield Place module is adjacent to the World Trade Center and is the first set to show the Hudson River at its edge. If you want to know more about the project, here is an English video by our designer Adrian Barbour. At about 0:28 you can see where the module will sit – look for the number 6!

Webshop update: Bluebrixx Specials now with subcategories
Published on 03.02.2019
In recent months, our shop has grown steadily and we are constantly expanding our range of in-house produced sets: Bluebrixx Specials, developed by our designers and produced on our own. Today, these sets cover a variety of topics – such as railway, architecture or military models.
With nearly 100 products, the Bluebrixx Specials shop area became confusing, so we introduce subcategories. At the top of the section https://www.bluebrixx.com/en/bluebrixxspecials is a sub-category bar that leads directly to sets such as railroad cars or science-fiction models.

Bluebrixx Specials + creativity = eye candy!
Published on 29.01.2019
The two Bluebrixx freight cars of the AFOB (adult fan of bricks) and railway connoisseur reyemkcorb are so impressive that we do not want to keep these pictures to ourselves: An image editing program, a color laser printer, self-adhesive film and lots of creativity together make for a real eye-catcher.
Our customer has slightly modified the tanker with a few parts. The stickers on the two cars are so realistic, you have to look twice to discover the ingenious puns about bricks in the logos. Is there still someone claiming that stickers are stupid and useless?

Brick by brick – the prototype of our signal tower
Published on 27.01.2019
Not all our train sets are about trains and rails: this signal tower looks great on every track system! With about 1,300 parts, including many masonry bricks and windows, it is a great model as well as a great parts supplier for larger buildings. Some parts of our prototype show wrong colors, like the green doors.
The floors of our building are not accessible, because such a building usually stands between the tracks and is difficult to reach. But experienced builders can easily modify the set and add an interior. The white signs are made for self-designed stickers. Maybe in the future we'll develop a sticker sheet for railway models...
