LEGO City Update | Train Station Expansion, Tracks, MILS Plates

[@liamsweeen]

Appreciation For Simon!!!! WOOOOOO!!!

[@DoctorSinister1]

Good move with widening that train station.

[@temujanradari1105]

Looks great! It almost seemed easier than all the crazy Legojitsu that you had to pull off to make the skinny station work!

[@rnulfschmer7537]

Train station needs to be an additional baseplate long. It looks off compared to the lengths of the train. At least the platforms need to be train length.

[@TiggerTom]

Maybe just expand the platforms rather than the full station

[@ferripro9112]

@@TiggerTom a train station in my city is like this, it's a good idea

[@kerngezond6953]

@@ferripro9112Same here in the Netherlands. Here we have trains 12 wagons long stopping at dinky train stations so the platform is usually much longer than the station itself.

[@MrKchernes]

In that empty corner beside the train station you could put a couple of the electric scooter charging stations (set 40526) or some bicycle stands.

[@CreativeReverie]

I LOVE how you move from one area of the city to the next each day and mix it up. I assumed you might try to keep a more linear progress/process from a past video where you vlogged about wanting to finish one area at a time, at least that was the impression I got, so I'm happy each time a video starts and I see you head somewhere new from the day before. Keep it up. Great entertainment.

[@BrickBargains]

The station is incredible. I love the style you've created. Kind of reminds me of our London stations, like Pancras & Kings Cross. Nice job 👍🏻

[@GodTierComments]

Needs a public piano then!

[@radbricks8298]

its an actual set. lego stud gate station 910002. its through the brick link designer program so its limited release but it is still an offical lego set.

[@BrickBargains]

@@radbricks8298 ah ok, it does look really good 👍🏻

[@dan_P_ortiz]

I usually look forward to watch my show in the morning but for some reason when I wake up at 8AM this is the first site I go to 😂 Gotta love the Bricksie video routine

[@JGanes]

TrixBrix makes awesome train track switches that will close that gap.

[@MandoProjekt]

Looking absolutly amazing Bricksie! Fantastic job with the train station! A small suggestion perhaps; but two columns in between the tracks of the station to support the roof, would both improve the stability and help with the realistic look? :)

[@HyitsSmee]

you could also build a road rwith a road tunnel through the mountain to connect to the country side

[@Anubis2X]

That would be great! I don't think he has done a tunnel for regular traffic before.

[@GamerNRetro]

Go Simon! Hey Bricksie just an idea. Maybe have him do base construction stuff. Mils plates, train track, building trees to your spec, etc. That way he can hand you a canvas and you can just start going to town. Love what you're doing and keep it up!

[@mattscott8961]

Yeah - this is my fave type of Bricksie vid for sure. Very inspiring for me - gotta jump into my city some more...

[@Basically.Bricks]

Wowee loving that train station and great work Simon! 🎉😊

[@LegoMaster-10]

I love your city! You inspired me to build a massive city!

[@cynthiacarter532]

Glad to see you dive into the city and the building zone. Maybe you did need some reflective time.

[@andregundel3345]

Nice that you adjusted the train track in the station. Would you consider extending the platforms a little outside of the building so that more of your train wagons are actually accessible when a train stops? What you also could do to get rid of that incline in the track entering your train station. Reduce the mills support by a plate or how many is needed and add some layers under the plate near your boardwalk to make it level with the surrounding city.

[@andrewmoyer3332]

Awesome job with the train station. A suggestion I would have now that everything is millsplated aprund the station is on the side where the down town is, you should make some custom building to blend in that side of the station that way it isn’t just a station and then green area around it. Just my opinion I just think the station would blend in more and still give it that downtown train station feel

[@TheDutchStarWarsGuy]

The improvement looks great! Just order like a million green 4x4 plates and 2 million 2x4 tiles lol. What I would like to see is the transition between your city/the road plates and then the nature where you have the station. Maybe some kind of fence or something, give it some thought.

[@maribuilds]

Will we ever see the ever elusive Simon? It’s great that he helps you out so much.

[@warrennewman5325]

Great detail train station looks 🍕

[@40kknight]

I think prioritizing the tear-down of the countryside would be best. It would free up a lot of parts for you to continue building MILS plates and reshaping your basic layout.

[@alexcojocaru9632]

You can do a small corner park instead that hill, it will add more story telling, some kids on swings, a little water fountain

[@JulieS261]

It looks like you will have to move a couple of buildings as the doors (backdoors?) open up straight onto the rail track. Also the corner near the station where you are building a hill (mound) is big enough to add a building. In reality most downtown areas are mostly buildings, especially near a train station. You can put vegetation in-between the tracks or on the side near the residential area.

[@jonathan_60503]

Having tracks slope up into a station and then down after it is done sometimes in real life - so your decision to leave the Studgate station's track higher fits with that. For shorter trains (like subways or regional passenger trains) where the train can fit on the flat higher section at the station the slopes help the train slow down coming into the station and then to accelerate coming down after the station.

[@keilup]

Ah so you did decide to expand Studgate. Looks great!

[@mattiamontanari]

Finally! Perfect job on that station! ❤🎉 Love it!

[@caloutaro]

I don't have any suggestion for the next update, expet, I just wanna see your buddy Simon one working with you cause is a talented guy!! Can't wait to see it!!✌️

[@gauvin9]

How about some sports venues Being there is sooooo much room on the country side how about a nascar large custom race track - the new nascar car is being released I. August and you could take that design with different colors to have like 4 to 6 cars racing Baseball field, Soccer field or basketball court near the residential area?

[@rustonmiller2853]

Love all your hard work Maybe you should add a cave to the mountain by the access hole. That would break up the grey. Or move the dungeon there.

[@dreamersink9446]

Look into an evaporative cooler, it uses water and a fan to cool a room. It’s really nice when blowing on you and doesn’t need to be exhausted.

[@gijswasserman8146]

Hey Jordan just wanted to let you know that I really enjoy it when your daily video pops up on my screen and I can watch your vlog, making new things in the city, it really brightens my day! Btw I’m watching all the way from the netherland🇳🇱. So keep up the good work!

[@BrittnyShrub]

Looks great ya'll.

[@TheElsiecam]

Definitely looks better than it did. It'd look much more realistic and I think really good if you extended the platforms just a little on the station at either end to have it match the length of the Hogwarts express

[@Kingsleychen0224]

Hey Bricksie just suggesting that maybe it would be cool to add a raised freeway above the ground roads to add more raised things :) Love your videos.

[@bikingwithemily1109]

City's looking nice 👌 idea on the mountain maybe there could be some mountain bike trails hidden among the trees and vegetation

[@AutumnStarr]

Perhaps have a railroad crew on one of those stretchs of untiled track by the station ? {you know, a small little story of "We're working onm the railroad, give us time!"? or something}

[@rclaxton1651]

Awesome city

[@GavinByrneLand]

Simon does excellent work

[@dldlegoproductions3775]

Bricksie you should make a island platform that is 6 studs wide in the train station between the two tracks to make the gap less noticeable

[@BrickHQ]

I thought you would fix the station and make it fit the rest of the tracks, makes more sense that way The road by the train track is realistic, it just needs the train crossing stuff

[@tonihall7810]

Go Simon. Invisible legend. Or is it lego fairies . lol love watching the progress.tfs

[@user-hj4ib2oo3y]

I noticed on the KZbin channel of Nubb’s select that he has/will have several auctions on E-bay for bulk 2x2, 2x3 and 2x4 used bricks. That might be interesting for you for your Mills plates and for the internal structure of the mountains.

[@TheDreamtimezzz]

I think next time you calculate an order, take it times 4. I bet you will need it. 😊

[@rossbecksfort3645]

I personally think you need to just lay everything out with baseplates and get a rough idea in each part of city and then tear down country side, then detail the amusement park, then finish train yard and zoo front…then finish with mountain and winter village.

[@technoviper15]

Great work on the train station. Looks good. A playground for the neighborhood would be pretty cool or maybe even move the skate park to the neighborhood. Kinda makes sense so the kids don't have to travel far to ride the half pike.

[@radicalrid3r]

Your routine is insane but I like it, cuz I get to watch a nice bricksie video when I wake up with my breakfast.

[@foreverfornever1124]

I cant tell you how glad I am to see you work on the train station and suburb area more. I gotta say that has been the least inspiring portion of your city so far, knowing it obviously hasnt been finalized or completed yet. I just think it got glossed over too easily, especially being next to the downtown area. I figured you had a pretty good idea of what to do with the area like you have done with downtown. Also I think you need to go ahead and removed the countryside so you can have some availbale peices for other areas including all those base plates

[@markedmonds557]

I know you have more than a ton of work, but maybe later when you near completion of the city and medieval build, you could do a Star Wars city. I think that would be pretty 🔥🔥🔥. Love the videos! Keep them coming. 🙂

[@scarson216]

Looks awesome. I vote for the amusement park

[@the.Gremlin]

Wow thats a lot of story telling potential

[@jacksonstarky8288]

WOW. New train station and tracks look great! What you might want to consider long-term for the train station roof, just because of the bowing you mentioned (which was also apparent on the video), is adding two studs to each side of the actual roof instead of using the Technic extensions. But hopefully that won't be immediately necessary, and for now you can carry on with existing city rebuild plans.

[@kaas4877]

this is the first video i see of of your new city and i looks very cool

[@apogeeav9839]

I have no clue why you don't have more subscribers. Your channel is amazing.

[@dennisverkoeijen]

Amusement park for sure.

[@sineptorro9190]

Honestly i think you schould look at FXBricks, they have train tracks with a wider radius and also different length of train tracks and also custom switches. I think it could be great for your train setup

[@isabellerininger6249]

Great video! I can totally visualize the mountain with snow on the top for skiing and little valleys with communities like ninjago and campground… soooo cool!!! 😎

[@alexanderdawson9175]

I've been following you for awhile now, and i just need to say that you are getting better and better at evrything you do and it is really amazing to see ! Congrats to you Bricksie, love what you do with legos and with the channel. Continue to love what you do for a living it's amazing to see !

[@GodTierComments]

I know you're not going to want to hear or do this but you should double the length of the Studgate Station because best city ever reasons

[@TT-Bricks]

maybe a little tip, you could use green wedge plates to fill in the gaps in,your corner rail track mils plates👍

[@lemxam1303]

If i see 4x4 green plates on my local pab wall, I'll pack up a box and send it to you! 😅

[@hjalmarravandoni-my7iq]

Nice work! Again, I think it would look awsome if You extend the platform, let say 8-12 studs outside of the station so you have a longer platform that cover bigger part of the train.

[@thattshawkeyeguy3343]

Looks great so far! Im enjoying seeing the city really start taking shape.

[@countrabricksbuildcraze8916]

On one or two. Parts of the train. Line in cuntry farm arear. You can have a Weet farm solo seperate line running from of the main train line. 😊

[@brawlstarsshortsyt]

Awesome City! Keep it going 👍

[@NikkiKuehnemund]

I think you need a ghost town somewhere on that table:) A corner that is completely haunted:) Would be cool:)

[@leonardocardona266]

I know you want to build a mountain, but I think you should probably take some space on the tables to do a little airport to the city, maybe at the end next to de amusement park. Envy of all the space you have. Keep up the good work.😃

[@SignalMan9292]

You should make a Union Pacific heritage unit.

[@proZach380]

I always wondered why you modified your city to fit the train station instead of the other way around...excellent update!

[@BDD_Builds]

Great progress today! Love seeing these base sections come together!

[@Angrist17]

It's a shame how the geometry on the standard Lego train tracks works out. The closer spacing in the original station looks better IMO, but it just doesn't integrate with the rest of the system properly and causes too many other headaches. Either way it's a great building.

[@dawid4706]

I think making a 3rd tunnel but instead for a train make it a car tunnel

[@daniel999999999999]

You could keep one disused tunnel and ad vegetation so it looks abandoned and almost overgrown.

[@Grady_Spence]

Starting to come together! Love the trains!

[@PhilSimmons-ve5dt]

Looks great, needs a taxi rank and bus stop at the station 👍

[@jacksonstarky8288]

I think you're going to need closer to 50 baseplates for the amusement park area. You might want to consider moving the gray baseplates from the countryside to the amusement park... but it looks like the gray baseplates are 1.5x the width of the green ones, so I suppose it will depend on what fits... and I guess the gray will be hidden by landscaping bricks in the countryside anyway.

[@awesdrew348]

Amazing update, would have to say keep it going with the train work/front of city. second vote would be layout for theme park.

[@furx]

Moved to a bigger place just to use half space with boat yd, train yd and a mountain. You do awesome things but I bet those 3 are going to disappear little by little

[@patrickwalcott4393]

Keep building looking good

[@jess-q9k]

You a Lego ingeneer!,, 😊

[@cyberfox843]

looks great, really coming along.. you seen that technic with a Lego net and stud to create a sloped elevated path?

[@ewoker17gaming]

Do the camp area . So it will look better

[@martindms77]

I love your train station, but I still question both lines turning to the left after they leave the station

[@michaelmasterson9404]

Would you consider integrating a BATCAVE in to your future mountain scape?

[@blablaennogwat]

Heey Bricksie! Your work/progress remains the most impressive for me on all of KZbin. Fantastic! Yet I keep wondering why you're (still) not considering (or in this video even mentioning) to use 3rd party track. I know you know it exist ;) It would help streamlining your layout soo much! Is this prohibited by LAN? The need for Flex in your S-curve makes sense btw. Only lego switches contain the correct swiffel to accommodate the 16 stud shift...

[@thevinylcollector3472]

awesome video jordan you and simon did a great job it looks amazing

[@tf6947]

Thank you for the update on your layout. Have you thought about creating a “T” junction coming out of the train station for both train lines?

[@etphonehome132]

Hi Brixie. I really live the new space, but I fear you may be making a giant display for your official lego collection. If I may suggest. I would use the area between the subs the city and the mountains to make a custom cyber city that leads into a medertranian or flavela style mountain side city. Also make a display on the left of the stairs.. up to above the hvac vents..(if legally possible) to display all the ninjago in the clouds. I remember how much you loved the displays at lego headquarters. Sorry for the long comment. Happy building.

[@etphonehome132]

Angled roads .. can also be installed.

[@Epitecture]

Any plans on adding a train on top of the mountain complete with wood trestle?

[@emmonstrex65]

Looks awesome!🤩

[@ssist01]

Bicksie you should use 9v train track around the city haha ;)

[@arf1794]

please rotate those pretty houses in residence area and face them in line with table edge ... we just see back or side of them ... that big simpson house isnt so cool , replace it with some classic houses over there place that1 with huge parking spots some where else far from table edge

[@charleslamar4861]

In my opinion. do a double circle RR instead. One circle serving City, beach, port and meeting at Bricklink station. While the second circle, starts at Brickink and serves Amusement park and all the back half. Having a double track around the back half seams a waste of real estate.

[@samanthaloves_legos]

Definitely the country sideee

[@GundersenMarius]

Why do you embed the tracks down on the green plate grass? Shouldn't the tracks be higher up on gravel ballast?

[@reaganclo3944]

Do you plan to build a space center in your city? It could go well with the moon base mock you created a while ago.

[@geraldbivens]

Looks great!

[@amoghpalaskar2982]

Bro extend the platform till the curve❤❤ plzzz plz plzzz plz plz plz plz plz plz plz plz plz plz plz plz plz

[@mastuve]

It is all a manner of taste, but I am not a fan of tiling off the rail tracks... I like rail road tracks that look like rail road tracks.

[@brawlstarsshortsyt]

Are you still going to add the raised line around the city. And also train stations throughout the city?

[@mariueg]

In my opinion the tracks on the housing area and countryside should be littered with 1x1 of various gray colors like gravel instead of the clean track center like it is now.
