LEGO City A-Frame Cabin Integration & Raised Train Operational

In this LEGO city update, I get the raised train back up and operational! Also, I build two massive MILS plates for the campground. One hosts the A-Frame Cabin and some nice additions, like a fire pit and a well. The other one has a large pond, a creek, and an arched bridge. Both plates are elevated above the standard MILS plate height and in my opinion... look SWEET!

A few videos ago, you mentioned not having a good story for the boat dock. If you moved it over in front of pop culture street, you could have some superhero rampage activity (evil lairs seem to always be by the boat dock) or a mystery going on for the Scooby gang. That way you would get to keep all the boat dock pieces you've worked so hard on. The trains could still run through it and then your cranes and machinery could have a part in a story like a Spidey vs Doc Ock scene.

[@yolo_xenophone]

Not always…

[@scioli700]

Good idea sir 👍 👏

[@tomsadventurezgaming1012]

I don't think a large factory/water area would fit in that area

[@glowingsoulfire819]

I have decided: the natural elements in the lego city are my favorite part. The buildings look amazing but the landscaping really brings life to a display. I think that's why the mountain, zoo and the campground are my favorite areas.

[@bricktopian]

Definately. Campground and beach and ninjago and zoo are the best areas. Water and trees and bridges are my favourite things to see

[@geo4_punter8]

Can we get minifig on the track where it's by the road verses train??? I really wanna see just a funny fun exploring the Lego city from a minifigs view!!! Could we get that? Maybe for like a Sunday or Monday video? It would give us a fun vid, and you a fun day lol!

[@user-hk2fl5lb9b]

Yeah that would be cool

[@ArcherDunn-vp1ex]

You got the depth on the creek and pond absolutely perfect.

[@JosephT93]

The A frame cabin looks beautiful in the campground area. Updates are looking great man!

[@briqtastic]

A-Frame Cabin is really looking nice!

[@latterdaycovenantliving]

I think the little red tent would look great by the pond

[@user-ie2ty8mn8m]

Hey Jordan, great job on the pre-build...AKA MILS prep work. The cabin looks really good with the pond, nice touch with the fire pit. I just picked up the tree house and plan on getting the cabin the next time they offer 2x VIP points. Keep up the awesome builds!

[@mathra2523]

If you have any extra 1x round wood print tiles, they’d be great on the end of the pier. Love the depth of the creek - looks authentic!

[@katiena1251]

I love it, I really like this set and the pond adds so much to it!

[@Cunashi009]

I think adding/ replacing some of those green slopes for grey, brown and tan ones could give some color variations on the banks of the river and pond. Other than that looks fantastic!

[@kevinlehnhardt3503]

The pond looks great and I like how it sort of leads your eye to the A-Frame Cabin. And I like the fire pit. Gotta have one of those. I think the bridge looks good at an angle since it allows you to see under it more, which you can't really do with the other bridge from this side view. So I think it looks good having them be positioned differently for some variety. More on the pond and creek, I was thinking of the old school flower stalks and that they might look good on the water's edge for some transition between the water dropoff and the rest of the mils plate. It could also break up the wall like feel of the brick dropping down into the baseplate. I tend think of a creek's edge or a pond also being bordered by some spindle-like grasses, and the old school flower stalk elements might do the trick. Those are skinny enough and plyable enough that they would fit down into the creek on the water's edge. And the well is awesome.

[@almightycinder]

You said before you like having story elements for your city. What about having the campers at the a-frame cabin bringing their truck to the cabin and getting it stuck in the creek? You could have a tow truck trying to pull it out. It could also be fun adding muddy tire tracks in the grass leading up to the creek.

[@GhettoGatesss]

I really think you should get 2/3 cabins and have like a camping lodge but it looks great so far! Excited to get back to the mansion build

[@bricktopian]

Yeah maybe but with the snow White cottage set coming out and the viking village I think there might not be enough room with the current layout

[@simonmartin762]

Hey Jordan, really love what you've done so far with the cabin, looks amazing, glad it ended up on MILS too 👍 I'm buying it towards the end of this month and look forward to MILSifying (great word!) it then placing it next to the treehouse as they look so good together, keep up the great work

[@Jalmaan]

I think it might be nice if you would slightly angle the cabin, perhaps by placing it on some 1x1 studs or a turntable brick

[@lisagaines1813]

Happy Birthday Mr. & Mrs. Bricksie! Loved the addition of the well and fire pit to the A frame cabin. The only missing is a hammock 😂! The campground improvements are looking fantastic.

[@cyberi4a]

The jumping fish was a nice added touch.

[@dylanlewis4949]

Would be cool if the creek joined into the pond

[@marks8ut]

Looking Awesome! Happy Birthday Bricksies!

[@bella-rh4bu]

I'm excited to see the camp grounds all put together!

[@jurassicnick5672]

Happy Birthday to you and Josée…hope you both have a wonderful day and have a fantastic year!!!

[@MsMuppet1985]

Build a picnic table for the front yard!

[@bossprime1098]

The observatory set will be perfect at the mountain top where the ninjago sets are, put that on shelves and use the space to extend the country side so the white snow cabin fits there too.

[@KnowNothingNerd]

Happy Birthday! Have a good one!

[@m2mcbrick444]

Great blend in...the new A frame looks nice! It adds allot of character with its unique shape, Happy Birthday to both of you! have a great couple of days!

[@johnvocatura1019]

Happy Birthday guys.

[@spaceinvader332]

Thank you for making wholesome vidioes

[@kakeflake6070]

Great video, i personally wouldve preferred the pond be connected to the stream via a small water way

[@bricktogether]

Agreed. This is what I thought was the idea of the pond, to allow the river to flow easier. I'd also position the tree to incorporate the water underneath rather than change it. Good so far. With the blending I'd make the river banks and parts of the pond more gradual rather than one brick and probably make one corner of the mils plate start lower at the point of joining and gradually come up so it feels more natural. Keep it up 🙂

[@fathercrim]

Happy birthday Mr and Mrs Bricksie. You know you found your fish when your names start with the same letters and your birthdays are only a day apart

[@VickyTingey-sx3oy]

I think you should do a video where you improve the interiors of older modular buildings e.g. grand emporium or palace cinema. keep up the great content by the way

[@johnaplin9848]

Man I know it’s going to be massive but you should add the new Rivendell set into your forest area

[@xxbuckeye125xx]

All of the Ninjago City sets could look great in the water where the boat dock is currently located

[@bricktopian]

Yeah but they look good near the mountains too

[@Rhewtani]

Ninja are going to start demanding a higher mountain!

[@kathylemoine3422]

I love it🤩 Happy birthday to you and Josée😊

[@DogFanVlogsAndToysAndGaming]

The A-Frame Cabin looks awesome in the campground! Keep up the good work!

[@christianbergeron206]

That is a GREAT video. I'm a huge fan of trains, so nicely done raising your trains. Amazing campground too!!! Congrats on your 340 000 followers, Bricksie!!!

[@victorhudson6757]

I think that the cabin should be in the middle of the treehouse and Winnie the Pooh sets. That way you could make a hiil and have a cave going under the cabin. The pond would look good in the center as well.

[@jameslean9739]

Happy birthday lego master!!

[@mcbou33]

love what you did with the cabin and the little details!

[@zachawk1575]

Hey Bricksie! I love what you’ve done here. I had an idea, maybe you could add some green 1x1 cheese slopes on their sides to fill in those awkward gaps around the well.

[@jackiem3670]

I have both the Tree House and A-frame Cabin I need to get building, appreciate the great ideas!

[@mikelinden214]

I believe the wood cache and axe are there for the wood burning stove in the cabin. Love the changes. Also my whatnot package from you arrived today, thank you!

[@anthonyestevez118]

The new cabin looks great! And Happy Birthday to you two!

[@bricktopian]

Love it. Could you put the canoe that comes with the cabin in the water stream? Also maybe connect the stepping stones on the tree house set up with the A frame cabin by adding extra stepping stones?

[@laustpeternielsen-norman9569]

I love the new trian line, but you some stations at the zoo, amusement Park and city Hall. The a frame looks great with all the other small things

[@peggeloven6942]

Happy Birthdays, you two🎉🎉

[@Phantombricks86]

Man it is looking awesome. I love it.

[@itouch4mac]

I can’t express enough just how cool of a guy you are, Jordan. It fascinates me just how detailed and unique your personal designs are. Now, I don’t mean to sound greedy, because you modifying and detailing the city is SO MUCH FUN too see, but I’m dying to see this mansion get built!! Haha. We gotta get an update vid on that bad boy soon! I keep forgetting to say this, but I actively look forward to 10:00AM (EST) because I know that new Bricksie vids dropping and it just makes my entire day. Also HAPPY (early) BIRTHDAY!!! To you and Mrs. Bricksie!

[@Theredtruck]

Happy birthday to you happy birthday to you happy birthday dear Jordan happy birthday to you

[@markmeredith158]

Happy birthday to you both. 🎉🎉

[@LKBRICKS1993]

Great video the A frame caabin is looking amazing. The campground is coming along nicely

[@liamkrebill]

I think you should add flowers or rocks to flat areas of grass it just makes it less empty I also think you should add dirt or gravel paths

[@jeffreycoyle12]

Looks like a real good start 👍😊

[@thomashayes507]

Excellent work Jordan! Hope you guys have a fun birthday celebration with family! 🎉

[@countrabricksbuildcraze8916]

I need to get the jazz club. Then I think I get this cabin..if I don't. May be I could try make my first .moc of a .Log Cabin with A frame roof..😊. Nice one J nice pond and the cabin looks so great with the tree house set I still need or attempt to do moc one great chandge s mate U nailed it 😊👍👍👌👌👌

[@countrabricksbuildcraze8916]

Hi Jordan. Woooo whoooo 💥👌😊💪 the train s the train s... Oh my heart just nerly whent. When the pasinger train came flying part the. Name pole feww. U had me thinking it was going to Dee rail. But. No it just. Tuch the ice cream van. 👍..great vid as all way s

[@shellychugh5016]

Amazing!!! So nice I really enjoy the videos

[@MajestikMoose]

I love how you included the A-Frame. I just think it wouldn't make sense for another bridge as there are already two bridges in walking distance. but that's just my cup of tea

[@LilTini]

its all awsome

[@josephharrison5639]

If you turned the tree module around you could either have that little creek go into the main creek or the pond, see it as a spring beside the tree

[@LYShowtime]

Campground is my fav place in your lego city! If I may throw in a suggestion - to try if there's any way to connect to the ninjago slope more naturally? Perhaps to create a slope immediately beside the A-frame cabin might work

[@debeo8478]

Happy Birthday to both Josee and yourself 🎉

[@belindaslomp1253]

Looking great. I need to buy that A frame

[@amritnarwal]

I like the decision to take out the boatyard but it will never be forgotten

[@jamesnicholl6334]

Looking really good!!

[@brickingwithtoby5280]

u cold have the lighthouse onto je corner of the table with ocean behind forming a L shape with a L shape beach with the pier going into the wall creating the illusion that the city goes beyond the basement. Also you could have the road infront of town hall go straight past the pillars and connect to the other side near the bowling ally and board walk. Additionally next to the venetian houses you could build a station in a venetian style for the raised station.

[@eligrubin1744]

I love the creek!

[@BrickHQ]

Looks pretty good

[@matthewshirley4349]

Loving your work, keep it up fella!

[@ryanduke1706]

excellent mate really like it, great work

[@jasonzao6134]

Holy moly,you did a whole lot of work in a short amount of time!

[@MT2Pokemon]

Happy birthday Bricksie I have been watching your videos for about half a year and you are such a great builder🎉

[@levi1803]

You need some of the Koi tiles for that pond!

[@Lapince78]

Amazing bravo

[@chrisreece6514]

now i know you don't currently have any train stops for the trains ATM, but a thought popped into my head while watching you run them. So this is just an idea, you have discussed a walking pathway to the back wall raised platform. Why not instead have there be a train station on the wall somewhere that the train passes either through or just passes by, as one of the ways people get up there from the city proper. Then as a second idea have a multi level train station near the amusement park the connects all 3 trains into 1 station, Almost along the lines of a grand central station, Where people could easily switch between any 1 of the 3 lines.

[@gwendafishley6368]

Happy Birthday Bricksie and Jose.🎉

[@cironix]

oh @Bricksie , Happy Birthday dude!

[@malujungmann2]

I love were the project is going!!! Looking really good! But the blending on the ninjago mountain to the camp ground is bothering me a bit… I think that would look better if u grown the mountain a little bit to the A frame MILS and had some sort of rock background there… just a thought! ❤ keep the good work Jordan and Josee ❤❤

[@thevinylcollector3472]

awesome video jordan i am going to buy the a frame cabin it looks amazing in the campground

[@lucyfox3080]

Looking good!

[@carterrodrigues3008]

Best lego KZbin person out there.

[@pushAbrick]

Really nice set up 👌

[@georgelykiardopoulos2886]

Love the content

[@Bucks128]

That looks so good

[@maryanne.campbell]

Happy Birthday 🎂 ❤

[@jmledesma88]

Hey man, you should try making spots of vegetation instead of spreading it out evenly to maybe get a more realistic feel. Also, perhaps try to set te cabin at an angle instead of always on grid, it would give it an awesome vibe. Nice work anyways, keep it up!! Cheers

[@yearlybricks]

I was just looking for new videos and then I came back and there’s a new video

[@bloodface]

Love your videos ❤️

[@raylewis6833]

Happy birthday too both of you Have great day my dads 85th on the seventh keep up the great content

[@redninjared]

We have the same birthday! February 7th! Everything looks awesome!

[@jamiesedgwick5713]

Happy Birthday Jordan and Jose

[@ronbeard]

are you going to incorporate the new brick link designer train station in the city? could looks really good across from the bowling alley or fire station but it may be too big

[@aliciapozzo9947]

your bucket needs a string to male it look more life like, and i am sure the lego otter will be happy with the creek and pond.

[@leeprice2849]

To make those taller raised sections you can use Duplo. Cheaper and stronger.

[@mutationcustomz]

It’s feels, like Holiday I Think take the River and Let, it Go to the Little Lake?

[@CHNDR-os6mp]

why not connect the creek to the pond, it will give it a more natural winding flow and you could modify the tree with its water as one of the connections between the creek and pond? just a thought. wishing you both merry Birthdays

[@zamocno]

Wood is for a fireplace inside the cabin ;)

[@UltimateLegobuilder2024]

I think to blend in the raised train line you should make them look like the curves and only tile the studs, but is not as clean though

[@UltimateLegobuilder2024]

What about the double layer train station

[@allisonkjell4762]

bricksie i think the wood storage area is just for the wood burning stove inside the cabin
