good to see you back working on the city!

[@BevinsBricksWorld]

Hoping to have another update next week.

[@MayoHosko]

good seeing the trains running. the copper foil tape works, but it degrades faster than normal 9v track. half sections are probably its best utilisation

[@sneezyferret6482]

I've had copper tape on my track for about the past 4 months and it's still working fine.

[@BevinsBricksWorld]

@sneezyferret6482 It only wears out with heavy use and still only after long heavy use. 4 months is great, should get a good solid year out of it

[@bertkears6208]

Glad to see you getting back to city updates!

[@BevinsBricksWorld]

Hopefully more soon.

[@Thirteenbuildslego]

Your layout is looking great! I can’t wait to see what you do next!

[@BevinsBricksWorld]

Thanks so much

[@kennethswan4657]

Awesome update on your Lego city. I'm glad to see you working on it again. Also thanks for the tips on the railroad tracks. 😁👍

[@BevinsBricksWorld]

Hey Ken, yeah life keeps getting in the way so I dont get to build as much as I like. But I have been doing a lot digitally so I can just build when I get free time. I have about 6 buildings roughly designed in studio now that I plan to add to this section of the city.

[@scottishdude9682]

You get those small coupling tracks with train tracks. You can use those instead of cutting tracks up.

[@barbarawalls9040]

Everything is looking amazing. Great job.

[@BevinsBricksWorld]

Thanks

[@darthgbc363]

Add a section of Flexi-track every so often. It's 4 studs long & the train should be able to roll over that span if it has 2 motors or pick-up boogies. Jumper wires might need to be added. Maybe copper tape will work on Flexi-track. There are places to buy odd size track.

[@ChrisBricks02]

This looks great! Really curious to see how that angle will look with buildings on it. Also, a note regarding the train track - that little S curve along the back of the table could be moved closer to the curve where you need to make the 8 long segment of track. Or, you could possibly remove that S curve altogether if you add an 8 (or possibly even 4) long segment of track into the straight section that is in front of where the Assembly Square is right now. Regardless though, this looks great and I’m excited to see the next update!

[@HoarderErik]

happy to see a city build going forward!

[@BevinsBricksWorld]

Thanks, trying to get parts together for a few new builds as I want a mix of industrial and residential in this section.

[@cyberbrick8775]

@Bevins Beicks the city looks great and keeps getting bigger and bigger. Keep up the great work.

[@BevinsBricksWorld]

Thanks so much, hope to have another update next week.

[@jossdeiboss]

Fx tracks sells 8 studs tracks! If it is too expensive, you can buy the plastic ones (like TrixBrix) and add the copper tape, so you would not have to worry about cutting the track and shape it to make it compatible with the existing track. Alternatively, you may want to look at track geometry, so that you get compatibility at 45 degrees with standard tracks. I think that requires 17 straight tracks at 45 degrees to have an almost-perfect alignment.

[@ashnodmtg]

i love those ballast tracks, they worked really well in my wife's village and saved so much time over doing them by hand

[@BevinsBricksWorld]

Glad to hear you like them, I love them as well as they save time and money on parts. Especially on the curves.

[@salvation7362]

I've seen too many people try to make the road bend to fit those angles and it ends up looking very busy because of all the little parts needed to fill in the weird spaces. It's very cleaver to make the transition something like a crosswalk to help blend the two angles together more seamlessly. 😃

[@BevinsBricksWorld]

Thanks, yeah trying something new, even though I know the new road plates are not very popular. To me the new road plates give a lot more options.

[@theresnoplacelikeholmes2861]

Trix brix has those 8 stud long track pieces. Saves you a cut and they are molded parts. Not 3d printed, meaning they have anti studs. And love the angled road! Look forward to seeing the buildings and details come together around it

[@BevinsBricksWorld]

Actually figured out a way to connect them back together without needing any special pieces. Had to sacrifice the back corner though.

[@jimg7508]

Looking great

[@frazergreen6786]

Lovely stuff man, just what i needed after a night on the town with the lads

[@BevinsBricksWorld]

A night out with the gang is always a good time

[@tylermcnelis559]

Awesome that looks like a lot of fun!

[@BevinsBricksWorld]

Its always fun :)

[@BrickfordCityFire]

I am very excited to see this come together! Great to have you back working in the city!

[@mikeconnelly7032]

Looks great!

[@Zabadak]

Always interesting to see you try New ideas 😃👍

[@BevinsBricksWorld]

Hey Zaba thanks, hope your doing well.

[@thorakvideos2495]

Awesome to see you are finally back!

[@p.a.u.l.555]

Gteat addition to the city Daryl, have a great weekend 😊

[@BevinsBricksWorld]

Thanks, you as well Paul :)

[@g.williams2047]

Looks good. I’m always a big fan of this part of a project where you’re getting the infrastructure put in and starting to shape everything.

[@BevinsBricksWorld]

Thanks, I agree its always fun to see the basic layout taking shape

[@TugOfBricks]

Great work there. I really like the progress.

[@BevinsBricksWorld]

Thanks

[@jasonh8470]

Finally, a city update and the train is running. I'm ecstatic. Great update, Daryl. Always looking forward to the next one.

[@BevinsBricksWorld]

Thanks so much, hope to have another update soon.

[@countrabricksbuildcraze8916]

I'm glad in my track layout all the track joint up..nuthing werse when got a gap .an need to keep changing the track till it matches up .that is diffrent haveing you base plate like that. 😊

[@BevinsBricksWorld]

I wouldnt need to if I just did a basic loop, but trying to be different lol 😆 😅

[@BrickTaleStudios]

Why not just buy a pack of S8 straights from Fx Track and use one to fill that 8 stud gap? They're not cheap, but they'll last a lot longer than that copper tape on the all-plastic track will.

[@BevinsBricksWorld]

They do have good quality track

[@idontcarebricks8253]

Can’t even lie this is probably the most impressive and unique lego city I’ve ever seen

[@benlesczynski6194]

nice update

[@josephd27]

Good tips on train tracks. Maybe one day I'll have a city with a train rolling through

[@sneezyferret6482]

You could use two pieces of flex track with copper tape to join that gap.

[@BevinsBricksWorld]

Very good idea

[@theamazinwaffleninja]

you could get 1/2 length 9v track from fx

[@BevinsBricksWorld]

Yes you can

[@Silverx50]

great video!

[@izzyortiz6586]

That straight edge you used is referred as an ear bender in my trade lol HVAC

[@BevinsBricksWorld]

Good to know, never knew the correct term, but I knew it was for duct work as I used it when I did the duct for the barn.

[@simaspro13gg]

nice

[@MayoHosko]

bro the video hasn't even been up for a minute. why you already commenting

[@simaspro13gg]

@simaspro13gg just delete your comment. It’s spam

[@simaspro13gg]

@ wdym its spam, i didnt even spam

[@BevinsBricksWorld]

Thanks

[@tommele]

That looks pretty awesome. I like that angle there a lot! I have a question about your 9V connection to the tracks. Are you using only one connection point on the tracks, or are there several, which are all connected to the Lego speed regulation? Just curious because I´m planning to have a bigger loop in my city some time in the future and I´m not sure if I need more power connection points because its too big. Cheers, Thomas

[@BevinsBricksWorld]

Hello and thanks, for the track power connection, I only have one connection point. Sometimes it can be helpful to add a second on the opposite side of the track as well. But for me the 1 connection works good enough :)

[@rclaxton1651]

Sure trying to, how you doing Whiskey, hopefully well 😀

@ haha cheers man, trying my best!

[@BevinsBricksWorld]

@WhiskeyShred thats all we can do 😀

[@WhiskeyShred]

@@BevinsBricksWorld I’m actually cleaning up in the lego room now… had a break for a couple of years but I’ll always go back to it. Really following the ufo/uap news in that time, there’s been a lot happening, finally.. great to see its being taken seriously with Congressional hearings and whistleblowers coming forward. We’re about the same age I’m gonna guess you’ve been following it?

[@MorristheMinor]

I know you've talked about this before, but is the area opposite the car dealers going to be where the residential area is going?

[@BevinsBricksWorld]

Yeah I plan to add the residential area on the side that the plates are on a angle
