Have trains run under the lip of the tables. Saves space by removing trains from up top and creates opportunity for subway system/stations. Also, a quick suggestion; please equalize the audio to both channels. It´s quite uncomfortable when listening on headphones to only have sound for most of the video only in the right ear because you do most of the speaking during the video. Keep up the great work!!! Thanks!

[@estebanofarrell4841]

Would they connect the station with the underground?

[@jkducksfan]

I 100% agree. Have the bridges under the table. Allows you to properly plan for them.

[@josephharrison5639]

Or the trains under the tables in general maybe

[@jamorant7132]

True

[@nextapprage]

I would Start out with a bridge and then when you get too the beach then Start Going underground into a tunnel Subway Stop allowing passengers Too Exit at the beach maybe then Pop up At the Shipping Yard and continue into the Clif Edge .

[@chrisinbanff]

I’d like to see the Disney castle put up on the platform where you’ve placed the Loop coaster. You’ve already got the platform built to connect it down to the main table level if it’s sitting up there.

[@janets3094]

I think the music shelf, with the piano and jazz musicians, looks great.

[@bribbru6265]

What about a bridge with cars going at the table level and trains running under the tables? You’ll safe a lot of space by moving trains underground, while the bridge will look even cooler.

[@judy3973]

I have confidence that you will be able to sort out all of your ideas and plans! Cool postcards. The jazz quartet looks great next to the piano.

[@PurePariah66]

Really liked the dual mics format of this video with the conversation about what you both are thinking for the city.

[@lkibbler]

Hello Mr. and Mrs. Bricksie. Another great video! IMHO, though I totally understand your desire to make some awesome bridges and I agree that the layout made by Empire LUG was awesome, it just doesn’t fit into your city as you have it now layed out. I think the train layout you have integrated into your city, especially the tunnel into the mountain looks great. If it were my city the main thing I would change is the zoo. To me It takes up way to much prime front and center real estate and we are basically looking at the back of it. I would make a smaller petting zoo at the back corner of the amusement park under the new loop coaster platform. You could possibly still incorporate the aquarium too if it fits. Then you have a large new area right in front to do something amazing with. This would also make the zoo part of the park that now takes up the entire rear section of your city. Keep up the amazing work you do and my wife and I enjoy following daily!

[@christrudden5114]

One of the most beautiful views riding Amtrak is when the train goes over water - rivers, lakes, inlets. Something to think about.

[@jackspikes7042]

Jordan, the bridge is a great idea.. Make your train a trolley car. Have it cross at the end of the park into the zoo, then turn up into the zoo and run into the downtown in the street like a trolley car would. Then cross between the buildings about midway, then cross over to houses and run up the streets into the tunnel. You would have a trolley car that would bring the minififgs from the houses to the amusement park to the city and back.

[@legod1717]

I had bridges in my older layout. They look great but they take up a lot of space. Kinda like when you eliminated the train running around your old setup. Trains take space. So I would look into running them under the table as many have suggested, or through the middle of the tables. You can run bridges over water too. Either way you are going to be crawling under a bridge at some point so be prepared. Great video and I look forward to seeing your solution!👍😎

[@weirdbrickbuilds4004]

Where you have your train bridges now/where it goes over the table gap is where you should put the new bridges. Besides that it all looks great. Great job!

[@bricktopian]

I agree

[@lukewilkinson4847]

Yes definitely

[@brickpharmer]

You may be able to rebuild the coaster as a mirror image of itself to "flip" the tower to the corner. You may need to to acquire a few pieces to accommodate it. I mirror imaged the bank modular building to reverse the corner and it turned out great. Plus, it would be some great unique content on building mirror images.

[@Vilhelm22]

You don’t necessarily need to have the bridges going at a 90 degree angle perpendicular to the table. You could have one going across to a more convenient point - so further along the table away from the pillar, maybe. It’s also worth noting here that there are various custom tracks that exist - TrixBrix may be good, or 4D Brix, which have curves going round in easier, more convenient directions to suit the shape of your track. That might help you - I think TrixBrix does a switch on a curve, and continuous curve switches, which may be useful.

[@Ro_884_]

Amazing video, the loop coaster looks AMAZING in the city!!!! Also, a suggestion I have for the city is building a regular car bridge to connect 2 roads would be magnificent, also you can build a higher train track by making a bridge that kind of connects the track to the higher track so you don’t need to change anything up!!!!!

[@MarcWeertsMusic]

Awesome! I still think though that it would look better if the walls behind the city were blue like the sky. Perhaps some big posters with skies, or some light blue curtains? Edit: maybe you could even use led strips shining upwards on the walls to create different times of day…

[@hitman23dm]

If you come across at the zoo, you can add a hill to run the train through. Use this hill for raised elevation in the zoo and along the left side of pop culture street where the park is.

[@andrewphillips5771]

Looks great guys!!! Can't wait to see the next one!

[@brickbro1993]

Welcome home. Hope you had a good trip. I think having less trees but bigger is a gold idea but, maybe addict a little extra vegetation with the trees would be a good idea too. And I think that having the sets in the amusement park condensed is a good idea but not to condensed. Give them a little breathing room lol.

[@MitchOLego]

1) The boat on the NYC postcard is probably supposed to represent the Staten Island Ferry, which is a (few) massive ferries that go to the southern tip of Manhattan and aee famously that color yellow. 2) If/when you start rendering the amusement park, may I suggest you move the ferris wheel? At the moment it blocks a lot of angles to the Loop coaster and you're not seeing some of the coolest parts. Maybe push the wheel to the back wall and turn it 90 degrees so it's flat to that wall? Always love how you have so many things going on and you still manage to keep pushing forward! Can't wait to see all of what's next!

[@hotjoe76]

Nice update on what is going on. I like the idea of the bridge.

[@ryanschram7266]

Instead of doing a train, maybe a monorail, you don’t need full on bridges if you don’t have to have them, or make it like the above ground trains that run along the buildings above the roads.

[@bricktopian]

Yeah monorail for sure

[@unsortedbricks7049]

Instead of making train bridges, just make bridges with a road on it,I noticed you’re camp ground area had a awkward T-intersection you could build it there.

[@akiramikan9299]

I think a cool idea for the amusement park would be to make a gondola going from one side to the platform with loop coast. Then that could be the main way to get up there

[@craiggallant6884]

As for the joinery of the 2x4s to the 4x4s look at places like Home Depot, deck building techniques or perhaps floor joist hangers, steel plates with 8 holes for regular wood or deck screws. Hope that helps.

[@conneryc]

Train bridge solution is really easy. Just put the bridges where the track current crosses across the open part between the tables. That way you get the bridges you want but don’t have to change the layout.

[@brandonlau183]

IMO the play with the bridges would be to have the track exit the tunnel and continue (almost straight) down the main spire, running behind the waterfront and then across the bridge. Adds minimal track while giving a bridge.

[@pirate1980]

Wow amazing lego video I'm blown away by the awesomeness

[@its_Santini]

Ditch the platform in the amusement park, and move the Disney Castle where the platform is. It will give the height you want in that corner, and will give you a more visible spot to put the Loop Coaster.

[@ArathixFilms]

Ah yes the city is back! Excited for everything you have planned! When you do the amusement park, I'd consider swapping the Ferris wheel with something shorter so it doesn't obstruct the view of the loop coaster as much, it's so cool it needs to be seen!

[@joeyost1603]

Agree - or rotate it 90 degrees and put it up against the wall or on the platform with the Loop coaster Also - put some small buildings to hide the platform like Magic Kingdom so the minifigs can do a little shopping!

[@joeyost1603]

A couple things: (1) I think it's a good idea to not move everything around to accommodate a train bridge. (2) You haven't even built the tables for the under table scenes - maybe have a train track running from the train yard to the medieval scene (old school train), and then you can custom make the under table area so that it can accommodate a train. (3) I think the Ferris Wheel either needs to go up on the platform with the Loop coaster, or against the wall so that you can see the Loop Coaster (4) I think instead of rock work or cement walls, you should have small shops like they do on magic kingdom so that the Minifigs can do their gift shop shopping there. Can use friends sets or customize your own - would look a lot more natural!

[@TimBorg]

do Sky-Rail over the roads

[@ryanschram7266]

Also another thing, if you’re interested, is add clouds above your city with cotton and LEDs in them. That would make for some amazing LEGO shots!

[@akashawebb4849]

omg please make the under-table platforms floating platforms with LED underneath to add even more depth and mood to the scenes. I think it would just look amazing. and maybe even later you could add a lot more light brick elements to the city and show it off in the dark :)

[@akashawebb4849]

and then you could have a train bridge from platform to platform undeath. and I also agree with people saying rebuilding the Disney Castel platform to have it sit higher/above on the current platform would be amazing with an even grander staircase. and again at light everywhere. to finish it all off

[@thevinylcollector3472]

awesome vido jordan the lego city is looking amazing mrs bricksie did a great job on building the postcards

[@sssdozer]

Your so excited about bridges, it's great, meanwhile the zoo sits idle, ditch the zoo, build a bridge and hang a right back towards the tunnel

[@billautomaton5998]

Just a thought, but what about raising the bridge up higher, and have it run along the wall? Then you can reach every point you like, still have bridges, and not tear everything apart.

[@WoodbossII]

I know it would be separated from your city, but could you build a train track around the ceiling with bridges and tunnels? Like you see in model train stores.

[@xMcNuggetBuddy]

I feel like it’s simple. Put the focus on the train tracks. Remove everything at the end of those tables. Focus on only laying the train track and bridges. And then just build around the train tracks. Instead of trying to figure out how to build around the buildings, just push that to figuring out how to build around the train tracks.

[@steveewens2187]

Hey an idea for the trains, you could have them go between the zoo and pop culture street like you suggested cross straight over go between kwik e mart and beach houses but then instead of crossing over to the Docks/campground curve round behind residential area and straight into the already made tunnel. You can move the whole residential area over, yes you would lose the backyard for the Simpsons house etc but worth it IMO

[@anthonyestevez118]

I would skip the train bridges. I think your current track layout is great. Loving the creek behind the camp ground idea! Along with bigger trees. The Loop looks great up on the platform.

[@marekkrokosinski]

that room is sick

[@countrabricksbuildcraze8916]

Hello J hallo Josie. Yes. It's bean like a week or so sints a city. Up date brickworks so amazing. .

[@GbopLIVE]

Hi Bricksie, I have a suggestion, you should build tables to fill in your gaps and put the legs on wheels so you can roll those tables out of the area.

[@stuartclark6391]

Great ideas, I would put the Disney castle where you have the loop and then don’t need the table as have the height with the stairs. As an alternative do the alt build with the two castles joined and then have in the centre of the amusement park like the real Disney. Look forward to more updates

[@vanitazazas]

You can always splice the tip of the tables by some extra inches by jointing with fittings. In that way, you can move the buildings further down the edge of the table and have the train tracks more inward as you wanted.

[@theshelbianfox7195]

I would say to work from one side of the room to the other, maybe starting from the boatyard and 'end' at the amusement park.

[@Towers183]

Will be amazing an elevated train like Chicago, it s a solution that many cities implement when they are running out space, just need some brick poles

[@dergruenepapagei]

How about building a bridge that ramps down under the zoo. So you can run the train with a switch straight under the zoo/tables and a second track like it is now. The new track can rise up again under the platform. Than you basicly have two loops.

[@jensing89]

I thought the same thing, but how would he get it back up again?

[@dergruenepapagei]

@@jensing89 in the tunnel under the platform. just a small cutout needed. Additional the train yard can be connected with a ramp.

[@jensing89]

@@dergruenepapagei do you think the train would be able to up again? Would it be too steep?

[@TaylorDrummer]

Kiwi rail!!!!! New Zealand represented!! Yussss

[@cynicallumarri]

The Disney castle should absolutely be put on the platform where the new rollercoaster is instead. You could use the prebuilt stairs to get minifigs up n down. Because you're right the new rollercoaster doesn't look right in it's current position, it'd need flipping and plus it's currently blocked by the ferris wheel. But yeah when you walk into disney the castle is this grand thing to walk towards. So it would make sense to have it at the back instead of crowding the middle. I also think the train going around the amusement park is wasted space honestly. It looks fine just going in an oval shape.

[@CastorTroy666]

Can you place the ferris wheel facing the opposite wall , then you will see more of the Loop Coaster

[@winstion1]

With any forest area, you always have big trees taking up most of the forest floor and you have smaller trees on the forest edge.

[@PinballMan]

Pocket hole the 2x4's then you don't need long screws and it gives it a clean look.

[@ladrillosmios1387]

You should add some streams and ponds in the new amusement park

[@guillaumeproust3531]

if you go straight from the temple tunnel which is a bit outside of the table and turn before the beach, you can then go straight with a bridge in front of the zoo and bridge again on the amusement park and finish the loop

[@sbondi]

Great content as always! :-) If possible (and I believe as you once had planned for the platform to turn the corner some), I would suggest turning that Loop Rollercoaster platform sideways against the wall with the Disney Castle (assuming it fits), so that (1) the tall tower is in the corner as you wanted, and (2) you get a better view of the coaster unobstructed by the Ferris Wheel. And of course, you would have a bigger platform gap to close (and consequently more platform space).

[@topherMac]

Have you considered building a Lego bridge where your gap is by the new coaster? Instead of it being a train bridge you can make it something cool looking for the Lego figures to walk toward the amusement park from up above

[@jpcleric5973]

Doesn't have to be loop. Use a lego sensor and programme delays for the stop at each end. It how people do a tram on a city that lives on a shelf. The tram goes back and forth. so maybe from Dock to a station or warehouse. The other train track you have done alone.

[@legod1717]

Hey maybe I’m late to this party but I’m building the loop coaster as we speak and I found something I’ve never seen before! A 1 x 5 plate piece!. Maybe I’ve just missed it in the past but this is the first I’ve seen it. Learn something new every day.👍😃

[@timsbricks8749]

Hi bricksie, I have a suggestion. Try putting the train and train bridges up on the bulkheads above the city. The lego layout looks awesome so far!

[@bb4burstbear]

Just because you want a bridge doesn't mean that it needs to be on the same alignment as the layout. It could be set at an angle. And if made, angled pieces can be used to keep the alignment fixed to a point, keeping order and fixable pieces.

[@sss7025]

Maybe it'd be better to have the corner platform connected to the other one, because the Ferris Wheel pretty much covers the loop rollercoaster completely, so maybe if it was more to the right it would be more visible? Because it’s such a shame that the loop coaster wouldn’t be properly seen. also, with the train bridges, maybe just build them in the area the train tracks already are in? that might work too. :) but anyways, great job with the city, it looks fantastic! Keep up the good work! :D and hope you have a nice day :)

[@Zayzon188]

You could move the beach in and make an island/river and then you'll be able to put the bridge close to the edge of the table. Also thought it would be cool if you made the pillar into a skyscraper, add a front door and windows

[@lavedapeterlin3252]

That is a great idea for the pillar!

[@gleefan13becbec]

I had an idea for your loop coaster.. You could make like a glass elevator like in Charlie and the chocolate factory for the mini figs to be able to access the loop coaster. :) I love your city

[@dldlegoproductions3775]

Bricksie I think you should have the train go on some of the roads in the pop culture street and behind the beach in front of the residential area and the have it turn back towards the existing tunnel under the mountains in the Lego city by making a custom road plate with track built into the road

[@Rockies007]

Sounds like you almost need to lay down the train first and build around it to include bridges. As for the trees, what if you build it like the massive redwoods. You can put a passage for cars or even a train set to run something through that build. Sounds like an exciting time for the room.

[@rickypetersen9530]

Hi. What if you raise the entire middle part of the city. So the train will go over the bridge from the amusement park, and then loop under the zooand back down towards the “modular building-area”?

[@MrKChernes]

You already have the train tracks “bridging” the table gaps along Main Street. Instead of just using a plate for those gaps you can do a test to see what a truss bridge would look like there.

[@pglegoman]

Hey Bricksie! Could you please try to put out at least 1 LEGO city update a week? I know it might be tough balancing KZbin and preparing for the twins, but I would be pleased to see the new layout complete.

[@vale8653]

What about making the train mono rail style? Lifted up from the roads like 12 to 14 inches high. You would only have to plan support locations and make sure its only over shorter buildings. Maybe make it match the height of the road for the buildings across the back wall and you could have a train station at that height as well.

[@dannyfrog]

Having the trains run under the table seems to be the general consensus. Maybe build a platform to attach and hang underneath the tables with brackets and have the train pop up from underneath to circumvent the city?

[@AlexKuhr]

Start with the amusement park! 💪🏻

[@samanthadetrick2760]

Change everything Lego is life you can do it

[@strengin1]

For bridges.. what about having them further back? I’m thinking only a 16 to 32 stud gap between bridge and back table.. and maybe just one (between amusement park table and pop culture street) to avoid too much rework. Have it turn onto a bridge before it gets to Ferris wheel.. cross the table gap, the turn right back in line with where track is now in front of elevated table.

[@carlreisdorf5906]

Maybe you should consider removing the Loop coaster from the platform it is on and place it on the table top with the lift towards the corner and the loops coming off to the right. You could always slide the platform over to line up with the other one or end your platform where it is without worrying about bridging the gap. Then you could finish the edges with rock facades and a train tunnel. The train could still run along the wall behind the coaster and other amusement park features like it currently does. I think that would make it look more like an amusement park instead of having your tallest piece placed so high above everything else.

[@stopmotionstuds8531]

It is difficult to explain but I think you could make the stream go under the road a little bit and convert a road plate into a small bridge.

[@andrewdubber8617]

I haven't seen the parts included or the instructions to the Loop roller coaster, but could you not reverse build it. So that every thing that is on the left is on the right and everything that is on the left is on the right. Just get the instructions and a mirror and read the instructions that are in the mirror. That way the tall bit will be on the right. Hope that makes sense. If not drop me a line

[@charlescarper7344]

You have the open table space. Why not think about a subway system? Make it so the train is exposed in the front of the table. You could make the subway entrance at any location. With some creative thinking even if lets say the subway entrance was a baseplate or two away from the edge of the table you could make arches depicting a tunnel to the entrance. I know this is a very brick intensive project but i think it would save future relocations. you can always have a rise to the upper table if you really wanted to save the tunnel you built.

[@koprxlara629]

You could put some minifigs on those extra studs on the bricksie sign:), so that you don't have to rebuild it (maybe of you guys and the twins:))

[@stuartmoore6217]

Build a subway and create a tunnel bridge. Or raise the track near the fair ground section and insert a bridge in that area?

[@ukbricks6216]

If you want the tall side of the loop coster in the Conner then I think you should just mirror build it though it will be hard it will work

[@dicloniusgames]

Would it be feasible to put up the Bricksie sign via command strips like you have your other art? The idea of putting in bridges is a good idea, but the question is where to put them and how to connect the various parts of the city to one another if that's even feasible without you having to bend down every time you wanted to access a specific part of the city to work on. The buildable postcards look great but I think print pieces representing every city would've made them pop out more, but that's only my opinion. Great video and great ideas so far.

[@stereo441]

Could you have a line split off from the mainline that terminates in a station? You could incorporate one bridge at least.

[@FoolishPete]

you can always just do a road bridge for the vehicules and not for the train, also a small bridge for your water creek

[@koloth5139]

I know this wouldn't be the easiest thing to do but if you really want the Loop Coaster facing the other way you could take it apart and build it mirrored. Though I kind of like it as is. Ferris wheel is in the way though.

[@agustindasigjr.533]

Nice ideas👏. Hope to see them soon in your lego city👌

[@amyscott2633]

Disney castle needs to go where the loop coaster is. Maybe you could do smaller bridges in your current lay out? Or a pedestrian bridge rather than a train bridge?

[@donnalajoie5309]

Like the dual microphones. Always like when you both are in the video. Hard to know what you should work on first. What ever you do will be great.

[@kk_bricks8043]

Their bridges in the video were on a diagonal. So could you come across the second intersection at an angle to avoid the pillar (column) and then turns down the road behind the structures?

[@Cartman339]

I think at the gap you would set the mountain pieces as it becomes a river without water with roads I think it would have been cool

[@TheOtherGuys2]

If you really want that sort of train bridge, why not make it part of the under-table train setup? Like you have the trainyard under the pop culture street, then at the back when it goes over to run a train through the medieval scene, have a bridge between the two. ...As an extra benefit, you could build like.. a time warp gate around the bridge, to explain why the trains are suddenly back in time.

[@bd-vdwd2139]

Maybe as a suggestion for the train track…. Bring it more up (near the pilar and beach) with which I mean on a higher elevation than the village. And from the first bridge (near amusement park area, the train track in a slope to next bridge. Just like e.g. the metro and train tracks in New York Pilars on the ground of the village. Train track then also could be running above the beach area and harbour area, from that point on, with a slope down and back to the elevation level of the entire village

[@arf1794]

the Bridges are so cool idea ... but don't make em like the bridges in clip ... just make em like London bridge then u dont need to remove em in most of times ... just open em like a bar door and use the way :)

[@tman4237]

LOL, "trees 4x the height of my house", God bless Canada

[@zNxghtmare_7]

I like to see him again and see if sets

[@lavedapeterlin3252]

Are you planning to add lighting to the city? I really liked the lighting in the Brickworld city, looked very cool.

[@yaka_1714]

I avé a really good idea for the trains but I like can’t explain it with out a drowning so do you ave an idea how I can send you a picture???

[@kk_bricks8043]

Or elevate the train higher to go above an area with pillars underneath it. Trains go above water, or near campgrounds all the time.

[@brianfromthirty]

Hope you and Mrs. Bricksie (and baby Bricksie) are doing well!🫶🏾

[@brickermanbricks]

I like the train idea but should come up with a solid plan for the future on a different layout when that time comes.
