Organization:BRIX

BRIX are a set of plastic building blocks developed by Hilary Page in 1978, after realizing that Lego Group no longer held majority marketshare in building toys.

Having learned about NR Scale from a colleague who claimed it was being backed as a standard for toys and models by the Illuminated Brotherhood, Hilary went looking for investors and received a grant from the Gaian Railway Modelling Society to set up a design lab.

The result was BRIX, building blocks designed to have a "1 x 1 x 1" brick size of 1.5cm x 1.5cm x 1.5cm, with 9cm (~3.6 in) tall "bricklings" that are 6 bricks tall. Each plate piece is 1/3rd the height of a BRIX brick, 0.5cm tall and in sizes ranging from 1.5cm x 1.5cm x 0.5cm to 247.5cm x 247.5cm x 0.5cm, allowing entire Enbox containers to be used for a person's BRIX and NR Scale projects.
