TrixBrix Track Library

TrixBrix offers a stunning variety of 3d printed and injection molded track components, all compatible with the LEGO train system.

TrixBrix Track Library for Bluebrick

I have compiled a complete track library with all TrixBrix tracks for the track planning software Bluebrick. The library contains more than 200 tracks, switches, crossings, special elements and sets. All geometrics have been calculated with full mathematical precision.

Some examples:

Download Instructions

Please follow these steps to use the TrixBrix Track Library for Bluebrick:

1. Download and install Bluebrick on your PC. If already installed, upgrade to the latest version (minimum: 1.9.2 as of October 2024).
2. Choose the menu item File / Download Additional Parts…

3. In the next dialog, select “Search in the Official Non-LEGO Package Library” and click on “Search for Package Libraries”.

4. On the next screen, select the TrixBrix Library for Bluebrick (TrixBrix.zip) and click “Start Download”.

Bluebrick will then download the library. Click on the “TrixBrix” tab on the track element section to use the library.

In case there is a problem with the integrated download functionality within Bluebrick, you may also download the current TrixBrix Library for Bluebrick by clicking the “Download” button just below, and unzip it manually in the “parts” folder in your Bluebrick installation directory.

Configuration

After downloading the library, it is a good time to optimize your Bluebrick configuration:

• The TrixBrix Track Library for Bluebrick works best on white background. Navigate to menu “Edit / Preferences”. Select tab “Appearance”. Choose Color Scheme “Classic (printer friendly)”.
• Stay in the preferences dialog, as we need to do some additional settings there. Select the tab “Part Library”. Select “TrixBrix” and move it up to the top of the list by clicking the “Move Up” button.
• Still in the preferences dialog, find the box “Part and Bubble Information”. Check “Part Info:” and “Description”.
• Close the preferences dialog by pressing the “OK” button.

Tips and Tricks

In the library, there are some “sets” of predefined combinations of tracks, e.g. railyards, cross-overs, and pass-throughs. Add one of them to your layout, e.g. the “Monster Crossover R104”. You can disassemble a set by clicking the right mouse button on it and select the context menu “ungroup”. After ungrouping, you can move the single components of sets individually.

Inspire yourself by checking out the Sample Layouts on Mattzobricks.com.

Enjoy!
