Kitchen Lego Train Bridge Layout

[@cheaptaco7479]

I still remember watching this 9 years ago!

[@charliethomas5471]

Cool layout I have one in my bedroom like this

[@me-mw7vu]

...great track and bridge design!

[@codybaker6423]

love the star wars sets around it very cool I LOVE IT

[@Sinjinator]

I like medium speed. I love the triangular support in the middle of the room; gotta make a few of those for my room!

[@Keppto]

THAT WAS AWESOME!!!

[@Guinco]

Damn man!! congratulations! that's surely the best kitchen ever :P I'm just begining with my Lego train collection, I've got a few sets when I was a little boy and most of the parts got lost. I elt really surprised when i knew about the change of system from 9V to the Rc, but after playing it for I while I realized is not bad at all! still miss the metal rails though

[@jackaslope]

this is so creative and cool

[@edigarmafi8483]

awesome stuff mate 👌👍👍👍

[@BobLilly]

Edigar Mafi thanks! I enjoyed making it!

[@dennymaanders6066]

nice men cool !!

[@TruckerDevin97]

Awesome!

[@atticbricks]

Cool!!! Crazy...but....very cool!

[@scottmiller5937]

Love Your video, very well made. I would like to make a truss bridge like your one over the window. Is there anyway you could give me a parts list of technic blocks and legos needed? Its hard to tell how the horizontal beams tie in to each other. Thanks and keep up the good work.

[@lennyistonline]

Gut konstroiert!

[@TC300s]

Fucking awsome set up you have! Just found all my lego trains. Didnt know there that collectable now days!

[@BobLilly]

I have collected them over the years. You can get the ones that are not offered by Lego anymore on Bricklink although it will cost you. There is a cool looking high speed train slated for release in the early part of 2013 so keep an eye out for that one.

[@VOIDM3]

Awesome but, watch out on the truss bridge, you can see it bend down when a train goes over it.

[@BobLilly]

Well the price for each is different based on what comes in the box. The red Passenger train is about $130.00 US and still available on Lego's site. The rest range from expensive to very expensive at Bricklink. It just depends on what condition you would like to get your set in.

[@BobLilly]

I used 1x14 technic bricks joined with either 1x4 or 1x8 plates in roughly equilateral triangles. The deck is formed by one 1x14 technic brick and two hinge plates, one at each end. It is a pretty basic design repeated over and over.

[@MrMichaelcarter1993]

I wish I had it 2

[@prest00000ooooo]

how did you make the bridge?

[@Carepackage65]

Can you make a video on how you made this

[@BobLilly]

On the Super Chief I crammed in two Power Functions train motors (88002). The rest of the trains are running stock.

[@BobLilly]

Some of these trains are available on the official lego website. Some are no longer in production and are for resale on BrickLink (Google it) for a much higher price.

[@henryyip5380]

good

[@ToxicGamer3000]

LOL In 3:37 The lego train is going to fall and break into little tiny pices

[@BobLilly]

The track was mostly purchased on Bricklink from a number of seller. It will run you about $3.00 per piece since they don't produce the 9V track anymore.

[@NotMattyB]

How is the bridge so strong!?

[@xvernity2354]

where did you buy the train?

[@BobLilly]

The strength is from the geometry of triangles.

[@res0ynb2]

and also, where did you get that track?

[@gratetv6007]

Great video!

[@MrRed288]

Has the bridge ever failed?

[@res0ynb2]

where did you get those lego trains?

[@BobLilly]

@MooMooCowc4 1. No, the Metroliner is still running on a 9V motor. 2. My favorite passenger train is the Santa Fe Super Chief, favorite cargo train is the BNSF.

[@res0ynb2]

how much are the ones that you used in this video?

[@BobLilly]

It's mostly triangles.

[@BobLilly]

I'd start my search on Amazon. There are a wide range of prices depending on what you want.

[@cluster2600]

Have you tried to build a main bridge without the pillar?

[@BobLilly]

I would really have to strengthen the main span but I think it can be done.

[@jabz10]

Hey this is awesome! How long are the unsupported spans of bridge? I'm looking to do something similar, need to create a bridge that spans a 1.8 meter section and another bridge for a 2 meter section. Can you elaborate further on the parts list for your bridge. Thanks

[@BobLilly]

Thanks, the longest span is roughly 280 studs in length. It's made almost entirely of 1x14 technic bricks. I joined the 1x14 technic bricks with 1x8 plates, one on top and one on bottom. For the diagonal members you can get away with using 1x4 plates. To join the diagonal members with the horizontal, use a friction pin. The lateral bracing is one 1x14 technic brick with a 1x4 hinge plate on each end.

[@jabz10]

Bob Lilly great thanks, and so how is the train track attached to the bridge?

[@BobLilly]

Jaidev Patel It's not really. It just lays on the lateral braces.

[@jabz10]

Bob Lilly Great thanks, exactly what bricks is your support tower made of? I may need to do the same.

[@BobLilly]

The support tower is 2 1x14 bricks and 1 1x6 brick connected with 3 1x4 hinge plates. Then a 1x2x5 brick on top of each end of each brick... and repeat.

[@BobLilly]

because they are so hard to put on, i am almost never satisfied with how i have placed them.

[@tndrtacoz1176]

How much time did it take to make it?

[@BobLilly]

It was an on going project of mine for a few weeks. Glad you like it.

[@tndrtacoz1176]

Yeah i enjoyed it

[@BobLilly]

Yep, a twice over the course of a few months and once during the filming. They never survive the fall.

[@BobLilly]

Nope, it stood for over six months but had to be taken down to repaint the ceiling. I was strong and sturdy, it could hold a lot more weight.

[@BobLilly]

Sorry, unfortunately I cannot. It has been disassembled.

[@BobLilly]

Nope, 100% Lego!

[@2009kating]

good
