More P40 Switches Coming (Again!)

We know so many of you were eagerly awaiting new stock of P40 switch tracks; and fortunately we've started to receive new production P40s from the factory.  We added some new P40 inventory last week and little did we know that the first batch of inventory of P40s would sell out in a few hours!  We added some reserve inventory and that sold out in less than 48 hours.  Furthermore, we added preliminary inventory of the new R136 curve tracks last month and that immediately sold out in hours as well!

Rest assured more inventory is on its way.  The best way to stay in the loop on new product availability is to use the sign up for email notification on the product page.  

Since we have been swamped with new orders, we are doing are best to keep up with shipping.  It might take us a couple of weeks to get through the backlog; however, many of you will already have product on the way.  

New Products

We're making great progress on new products!  Here's summary on what we've been up to:

94xx 9V Cables and 9100 Track Power Feeder

Our new 9V power system is coming together.  We have already completed production on a new family of 9V extension cables (5x lengths 128 mm, 256 mm, 512 mm, 1 m and 3 m) plus our track power feeder (9100).  We're also adding a Power Functions to Fx 9V adapter cable (9480) to this product family very soon.  We've selected an OEM source for the PF connector which will then be fitted to our 9V connector cable assembly.

9700 Metal Pickup Wheelsets

Production is under way on our new metal wheelset product.

9005 Speed Controller and Modular Accessory System

Our new speed controller has entered production for the electronics. It is the first in a new system of modular electrical accessories.  Each control element is a 4x16 brick designed as part of our new 9V compatible system.  Modules dock together easily with a side mounted magnetic connectors for easy customization of control panels and surfaces.  The 9005 speed controller is USB-C powered  and can share power with any neighbouring modules, including other 9005 speed controllers!  

9600 Motor Bogie

We're making great progress on our new motor bogie.  We're still refining the mechanical components and now that we have a new in-house CNC machine, we can speed up this development even more.  Our initial testing of the motor bogie is very encouraging, yet we have a lot more development and testing work to do!  We should have some assembled functional prototype units for folks to check out at BSBT in Germany next week (Aug 7-10) (see link below).  

BSBT 2025

We're attending one our favourite shows, Bauspielbahn-Treffen (BSBT) in Leipzig, Germany August 7 to 10.  We're bringing lots of pre-production prototypes and samples of new product for folks to check out. Feel free to say hello and ask questions, make suggestions, etc.  We love hearing your feedback and sharing our progress.  

P.S. 

As a contributor to the awesome LEGO fan site Bricknerd, I write articles on all different topics related to LEGO trains.  However, last month, I wrote an article with a different focus:  a behind the scenes look at Fx Bricks.  I showcase our new office in Hong Kong and share some of the aspects of what makes Fx Bricks tick!  Be sure to check it out if you want to see a bit more behind the scenes!
