[@arrun5125]

It isn't "dumb luck" that the rail part fits perfectly with the captured cross. The rail part is 1.425 studs wide, which is roughly equivalent to the square root of 2 - which as you know is required to close the hypotenuse of the right angled triangle created in the captured cross.

[@GrandProtectorDark]

Legoset 4563 used 8 stud long versions of those pieces for a sliding door cargo Railcar.

[@bricksculpt]

Another good example!

[@dynamiCBricks]

In the old Lego technic set 8479, this part was used in a practical way: a 9V Power Motor has notches on its sides onto which it can be held by these rails. In the set, the rails are part of two slots for different functions. Its only motor can thus be easily switched around between them.

[@RohanBeckett]

I still use the old 9V motors from time to time in moc's... they are quieter and more compact than modern motors... the rails are a *great* way to let you modularise the motor, allowing it to be swapped out easily

[@bobfitzpatrick6061]

Came to say this.I only ever used them to hold motors

[@paqshet4648]

The rail part is (according to bricklink) protruding 0.34 mm which is 2.125 LEGO units (1.6 mm). So the gap between two of the plates is 0.75 LEGO units. With the added offset of half a stud, i.e. 2.5 LEGO units, the gap becomes 3.25 units wide, hence why you get the extra 0.25 units (0.4 mm) of wiggle room when trying to fit one and a half plate (3 units). As @dynamiCBricks mentioned, the piece initially only came in technic sets where a special motor piece (part 71427c01) was either included or intended to be added easily by sliding it into the build along the rail pieces. The piece and the motor were possibly specifically designed to fit together. I would assume they have some other reason for this deviation in dimension, but they may also have just stuck with this design since it was useful in other applications and didn't need or deserve a more conforming redesign.

[@bricksculpt]

Thanks for the breakdown! You explain it very well!

[@ASOC4]

finally some interesting LEGO channel in the influx of reviews, hauls etc... I honestly wanted to find something like this for some time as I mostly build MOCs out of my LEGO so I want to learn more about the pieces themselves and build techniques

This part works perfectly with part 2653 to create a sliding rail mechanism.

[@Aquatikelfik]

First "I hate this Lego piece" and "I love this Lego piece", now the sequel : "I'm not sure how i feel with this Lego piece". 😅 Without too much thinking, i got some regular official uses in mind. As a rail, these parts often go in pair with sliding doors (like part 4511) which can't connect to any other parts. Also with 2653 1x4 Brick with channel, as used in sets like 7411, or even this year in the mouth mecanism of the Zelda Deku Tree, Ocarina of Time version. I also see this part used as a spacer to lock aircraft wings in an angle. I think of some Star Wars builds like 8099.

[@bricksculpt]

Lots of good examples thanks!

[@Boomblox5896]

There actually was a specialized sliding door with a latch on the end of it to lock together with another of the same door (Brick ID 4511, the type of door I was familiar with as a kid). These doors fit onto those rails perfectly.

[@bricksculpt]

I'm going to have to buy some of those! Thanks for adding this.

[@2ichy]

Ok, this makes sense. The long version of this part (4510) is much older (1983) and really a door sliding part. Thus, the short version is not really a technic part.

[@greggarave8214]

They were originally designed to work with the part called Door Sliding type 1 on bricklink. Item number 4511. I only know this because I have had some since I was a kid.

_32028 plate 1x2 with door rail_ is a shorter version of _4510 plate 1x8 with door rail,_ which came out in 1983 and was actually used as door rails.

[@tetsi0815]

It's used in all kinds of non-door sliding applications like in set 1382 (scary laboratory) build step 3 as a slide shelf for the tools. In set 7991 for example it has been used as a "lip" to rest the roof of the truck on (not sure if that counts as play feature). Part "4511 - Door Sliding" has been mentioned here already. The rail part fits into the grooves of 2412 (tile grill) so one might be able to pull some fancy stud reversal magic here. Some wheel like parts (e.g. 2496 Skateboard/trolley wheel) fit into the groove so it can be used as a guide rail for those (imagine some bridge/overhead crane for example).

[@bricksculpt]

Dang lots of good example and ideas thanks!

[@bensbrokenbones4102]

I’ve used them for large sliding hangar doors with the piece 2653. You have to build the doors with bricks though. You could also use the square iron bar piece and clip it to the rail plate then connect it to the groove piece and you have a sliding prison door

I am fairly certain the red and white Avenjet/Quinjet Avengers V Thanos set uses them to lay one part of the jet on another that works pretty well and I think thats a big use for the piece.

[@2ichy]

Yes, the first usage was 8479 - it was a cost saving measure, because you got only one motor, which had to be swiched to different locations. This made the whole idea of programming the truck with the barcode scanner completely useless, since you had switch the motor inside the program to switch functions. I was really disappointed as a kid, when i realized that. Also the Barcode Scanner had these counter-rails - because you had to remove it foor scanning. But in Retrospective, it was the first step of Mindstorms, so it's fantastic and disappointing at the same time :D.

[@2ichy]

So this might not be obvious - it was introduced as a technic piece and had nothing to do with door rails.

[@bricksculpt]

I've been told that a lot in these comments. Funny that Bricklink and others all call it "door rail" even thou it started as something else.

If you want to attach a flag (like piece 2335) to a body, you could use piece 2540, but if you place the latter face up, the upper side of the flag would be aligned with the top of the plate (not the studs), because the bar of 2540 is not centered vertically on the plate. If you need the flag to be centered vertically with the holding plate, then the door rail comes in handy. But that could be deemed an illegal build, since you do have to force a bit to clip the door rail into the flag clips.

[@bricksculpt]

I will have to experiment with this.

[@Auheppa]

If you put a door or a large window on a roof as a ceiling window or roof access you can use those parts on the sides to give the large piece extra support. Wont block as much view as a full length of a plate would.

I like that idea! Would be even better if they were tile with no studs on top for that application.

[@Imperialofficer07]

I feel like you could put some tiles under the door rails to eliminate any gaps. I got to test it first, but I feel like you can put something under the door rail to eliminate that bit of an issue. Edit: I did a small test, with two 1 x 2 door rail pieces with tiles and yes it works. I just don't have the door pieces to fully do the same test as in the video.

[@zFrost]

A little extra about this connection: If this door-slide piece holds down a 2x2 jumper plate, it can add support without obstructing the studs (or 2 1x2 jumper plates), so you can still use said studs, with a tight amount of wiggle room.

[@renswisse]

You seem oblivious to the existence of door elements 4511 and the later-released 2874, which these door rail plates were originally designed to work with. They were specifically designed as sliding doors, with no studs or door frames to attach them to. The only way to use them properly is through these door rail plates. These doors were typically used in freight trains and warehouses and the like. They were made to allow for a realistic left-to-right sliding door motion. Think of it as a horizontal version of the garage door elements. The later 1x2 piece I believe was introduced to accomodate a new 9V Technic motor with grooves that fit over it, which was introduced in the late nineties. That being said, it also allows you to expand the 1x8 configuration as well, to make the rails for the sliding doors a bit longer if you want to. There's also a 2-stud-wide variant of the 1x8 one to accomodate 1-stud thick, brick-built doors to operate in a similar fashion. This is great if you don't want to buy these somewhat rare and retired door elements. You can just build your own with your own pieces this way. I frequently use these door rail elements as windowsills, gutters or just as ornamental lines to make my LEGO houses pop a bit more and to avoid flat surfaces. You can place them on regular plates and bricks to make something that sticks out a bit more or make that which sits between them look a bit more recessed. Mounting them sideways using the bricks with studs on the side allows you to use both the texture of the rail and the studs on an outside surface. You can do the same with the bottom of these pieces by inserting the studs into the back of headlight bricks. They have been extremely useful in any architectural build I have ever done. They also work wonders in mechanical looking things like the inside of factories and spaceships.

Look at set 41704 book 3 steps 30-31 for a nice example. Can also be used for the bottom, but the top is used for stud alignment. This is also in same set, book 4 steps 33-34. Also I just realised that this is not the exact same piece, however it has the same name just a different size for a different use. It is actually 30586 ‘plate modified 2x8 with door rail’. (As opposed to 1x8, or in the case of this video, 1x2)

[@explosivo666]

It was mostly on older Train wagon sets like 4563 for the sliding wagon doors.

[@bricksculpt]

Ahh that makes sense.

[@bricksculpt]

Ahh that makes sense.

[@YoungAviator_1]

Lego technic set 8479 you can use the piece's rail to hold a 9V motor in place!

[@Couram]

these were the same connections for old bumper pieces IIRC, I think it was for space sets in that regard, (and like, only one ONE set too, the mars base again, could be wrong. it's been like 15 years since I've seen that set myself)

[@geraldslaughter9286]

I use this piece in my Jet MOC to make the vertical thrust slide in and out two on each side to in the middle math works out good

[@scottspov6360]

I want to see these in a corner plate for better framing uses.

[@bricksculpt]

That's a good idea. Maybe a possible future video

[@johnskinner7271]

Where did you get that sorting mat?! That looks beyond useful; it's game-changing.

[@bricksculpt]

Rebrickable

[@GEARscience]

Someone should check me on this, but I THINK it also slides into Bionicle part 32307. I don't think it was ever used this way officially, but it could be a neat way to attach Technic to System bricks.

[@bricksculpt]

Yes someone else mentioned that piece also. I don't own that piece so I can't weigh in.

[@holzwurm_hd7029]

I think you cango up haf a stud, if you put the overlaying parts over each other.

[@jordandeanda6244]

Use steering wheels to make hanging barn doors or use sliding doors like piece 4511

[@bricksculpt]

Covered in part 2!

[@Tom-mb7pj]

This piece can be used as shorter bits for R V slide out components this piece has a longer sibling a 1 by six door rail

[@sylviamuncy6847]

i dont know the exact part number but theres a train door that may fit

[@jessesteigerwald9189]

Check out set 7045 hovercraft hideout from 2004. They have a door in that set that works with this piece

[@bricksculpt]

Yes good application. I will have to get some of those doors I don't own any!

[@gghrtx2]

It's use in train doors also.

[@gordonwerner]

What about part 30586 … the wide door rail? Do they have the same issue?

[@bricksculpt]

I like that part also! I need to experiment with it more!

[@sshhii]

Your door rail setup looks like a box car on a train

[@bricksculpt]

Yeah it's funny many comments say it's biggest use was train doors.

[@Slurgical_3D_Terrain_Channel]

Caliper…3D printer…custom part, that would be solving that gap issue.

[@KAK_PAN]

3D print always solve problem with another plastic, but in lego it just making less creativity in my opinion.

[@Slurgical_3D_Terrain_Channel]

@@KAK_PAN I somewhat agree, but sometimes solution through creativity works best. There was a piece missing in my son’s lego kit, we ordered it and it came broken through the mail. So I reproduced in CAD and printed the replacement. Working great.

[@Ripps8519]

I believe it was originally used for train cargo doors?

[@bricksculpt]

Yeah that's what I'm hearing a lot.
