Lego City update - Emerald Night 10194 comes to town

[@BinaryArmorOnline]

The fact that you add construction sites around your WIP locations made my day.

Wow, stunning city. The emerald Night will be right at home there. Its beast of a train and so comes with challenges in a city! I modded mine to add the XL motor but hid it by making the engine much bigger (vid on my channel). Keep up the excellent work I look forward to your next video.

The Emerald Night is an awesome train. We motorized ours, but it can't run in our city because the front swings out so far. Nice city.

That's an awesome city!

[@MrBookieboo]

Thank you!

Looks great

That guy had too much coffee 😂

I noticed that you had some space on the other side of the train track, why didn't you just move the track one stud further out, then you wouldn't have to go through so much reorganizing. I would love to hear your thoughts!

[@MrBookieboo]

Good observation. I opted to move the fence instead for three reasons: 1) moving the track would mess up the alignment throughout the layout. The track behind the modulars is already pretty tight behind the buildings and thsi would have made it worse. 2) I like the 4 stud buffer between the track and the table edge just in case a train derails. three studs is cutting it to close for comfort. 3) The symmetry would bother me having track offset and not straight down the middle :)

I like the train!!and you should make the platform one stud back or the whole station Also how do you make the tracks elevated?

[@MrBookieboo]

Thanks! The track elevation is made with plates and bricks - 2 plates high per section of track is the grade that I went with.

[@RobbieBloXMasterBuilder]

But MrBookieboo doesn't that effect the train from going up?

[@MrBookieboo]

2 plates per section of track is about the limit as far as inclines go. Anything more and the wheels will start to slip. 1 plate would be much better but that eats up a lot of real estate. You can always add a second motor if you are using Power Functions but I've yet to have a need for it. My trains are all pretty short, though.

[@RobbieBloXMasterBuilder]

MrBookieboo oh ok I have power functions but I want to use 9volt because I can use my vintage LEGO 9volt trains and my power function trains on the same track which is 9volt also will you be going to brickfest In philidelphia this year?

[@MrBookieboo]

I don't have plans to go to brickfest this year.

You should make a seperat train track for the Emerald Night
