Texas Brick Railroad

We are adult fans of LEGO® that have come together because of our interests and obsessions with “the brick”. We share our ideas and experiences, we get together to build and play, and we buy/sell/trade bricks with each other.

Texas Brick Railroad is a statewide group of rail modelers who love working with LEGO®. We have no permanent layout… we come together at train shows and LEGO® events. Organized gatherings of AFOLs (Adult Fans of LEGO®) in Texas have been taking place since about 1999.

We have done simple get-togethers just for fun, events involving public displays, and special events interacting with the LEGO® Company. You can find us at texasbrickrr.com, and at the “Texas Brick Railroad” Google group.
