Lego City Update, New Curved Road and Trailer Park.

[@BevinsBricks]

My website for LED Lights, instructions, stickers and more. bevinsbricks.com/ Lego lighting is my passion and I try share with everyone how to use and install my Lego Lighting products on my website. My Rebrickable page. rebrickable.com/users/Bevinsbricks/mocs/

[@EvansBrickhouse]

That fence is a great addition to keep kids safe. My wife and I love the trailer park and look forward to adding the lights and minifigs. The curved road looks great and so does train tracks elevation. I always enjoy these videos.

[@BevinsBricks]

Thanks John, yeah after he said that I thought you know, thats a real easy add so had to do it. Hoping to have the lights added and some more landscape for the next update.

[@Vincent-396]

Good idea. Stumbling out of the bathroom, after a few 40’s, you would definitely want that barrier.

[@BevinsBricks]

Lmao yes most definitely

[@presidentmc9054]

When you add the lighting to the trailer park, you should have one of the light poles or Trailer Interior lights flickering. It's something I always see in Trailer Parks. The City Looks Fantastic!

[@BevinsBricks]

Thanks, well I plan to do something like that with the trailer eddie munson is jamming on top of :) figure red and vlue lights would be perfect for that.

[@presidentmc9054]

[@cykrypt0]

super good idea

[@blacktronpavel]

Channels like this help me learn something new every day. Fantastic and inspirational work. Now seeing that little trailer park has a sort of old school vibe to it and I feel an improvised baseball field should be across the tracks- because some of us lived a little dangerously. lol

[@BevinsBricks]

Thank you and that is a great idea.

[@aaaaheahea]

Looks fantastic!

[@BevinsBricks]

Thanks 😊

[@clauswerle]

Great

[@BevinsBricks]

[@preusse5330]

This looks perfect. If you build the mountain, i would build it first flat and then go higher. That makes it morenrealistic. Do you understand me? As always i cant wait for a new city video Edit: i would build some smaller hills before the mountain

[@BevinsBricks]

With the edit I get what you mean now :) Im a bit limited on space on this end of the table but yes Im planning a small grade change at first and then a up shoot using burps.

[@onewiththestud]

Great update again

[@BevinsBricks]

Thanks 😀

[@PavewayJDAM]

Too late now, but my son suggested that if you ever re-do your power system, use the power lines to run the actual electric lines to the buildings. More realistic and easier to switch up the lines if needed. And for my comment, you need the police in the trailer park, lol. Edit: You also need some Trailer Park Boys references. Maybe minifigs of Ricky, Julian and Bubbles and that crapped out car Ricky drives!

[@fibonacii]

Don’t forget to add a car with its hood up and missing tires in the trailer park and one trailer lot with unmowed or partially mowed grass. One lot can have kids toys all over the place.

[@BevinsBricks]

All awesome suggestions thanks 😊

[@Simon-T.]

Glad the kids are safe now! 🙂 As always though you go above and beyond... can you add a fence... of course you can but also a sign, and detail I never imagined! Great work on the trailer park too, that's coming on great and a bonus of some Metallica too! Are we going to get sounds as well as lights in this city? Also I always thought the downside to the new road plates were it restricted you to grid like patterns but you've proved me wrong on that too. Keep up the great work.

[@BevinsBricks]

Thanks for the great suggestion. As for music, sadly, youtube tends to be really funny about what you can use, so I doubt I will ever try for fears of a community strike. But I do post things on instagram with music without restrictions :) Dont ever think anything is impossible. If there is a will, there is a way 😉

[@Simon-T.]

@BevinsBricks Oh yes, of course. I watch a load of KZbin musicians so I knew but somehow also forgot that. :) I'd add you to Instagram but I never got round to adding myself so I'll just hum The Outlaw Torn once you've finished the park. Cheers again.

[@adamoakley1379]

You need the trailer park boys too!

[@BevinsBricks]

Thats probably my 3rd biggest request.

[@eliotperl1438]

you should build some public bathrooms near the trailers

[@exhaleruntz]

one idea for your city, you should add in those propane or whatever circular tanks in the back of the gas station, where they would hold propane or gas

[@BevinsBricks]

Thats a great idea and yes propane are what the tanks are for 😀

[@boxicknowsbest9100]

WOOOOO BEVINS BRICKS UPLOAD!!!!

[@BevinsBricks]

Lol 😆

[@MayoHosko]

You could definitely use that fence with the 8x8 grating in other areas of your railway. Glad you remembered to put the sand mounds underneath the grass. Not many people do that

[@BevinsBricks]

Yeah definitely need a fence around the park. As for the color change on elevation to me it looks better with fast slopes to do that. But on low grades all green works well too.

[@edwardlees4585]

Great updates. Shouldn't the 'No Trespassing' sign be on the other side of the fence? You can probably hide the gaps in the road angles with some vegetation hanging over the curb.

[@BevinsBricks]

I do agree but then noone would be able to see it :) and I did debate that for hiding the gaps. I also have another idea I may try as well that may fill them in.

[@computernerd5009]

What are the best materials for adding levels to cities for hills and extra levels? I have read that duplo blocks may work with lego pieces on top or build a custom table to add the extra level.

[@BevinsBricks]

For support on high elevation changes yes duplo is great, i use it all the time. Its even in the 6ft tall avengers tower I made. 2x2 and 2x4 bricks are also a huge help as well as supports beams. And for the surface space 16x16 plates.

[@jonatannoisnorrason3511]

thats good cause with the train that speed might make stronger wind to slam the door or someone walk out without warning i seen many cars run over by train in real lif not in a cartoon like either popeye or looney tunes if reference

[@BevinsBricks]

Yeah its a sad thing when occurs.

[@BrickfordCityFire]

One of the biggest issues I have always had with making a lego city: the squareness and flatness. This is awesome work as always! Definitely an inspiration to me, and I imagine to others as well!

[@BevinsBricks]

Thanks man, yeah I want to get away from everything looking like its on a grid. Its hard with lego though. But I figure even if its some small subtle things like this it might help.

[@petpaltea]

Will you do a video showing trailers' interiors?

[@BevinsBricks]

The interiors are basic but will be visable once I get them all lit up. :)

[@timothyabelovsky2235]

love the city up date looks great i would just sugest considering removing 1 trailer it seems so tight with 6 only having 5 would free just enough space inbetween for cars to park

[@BevinsBricks]

Ive thought that myself but like where I live, the cars just park in front of the trailers and they are slammed together very tightly. I plan to make this park look more rough unlike a lot of modern ones that have more space between them.

[@timothyabelovsky2235]

[@egrnhl]

What are your thoughts about purchasing sets already built versus sets new in boxes and building them?

[@BevinsBricks]

It is all a matter of personal preference to the individual. But to me even if it came assembled I would want to pull it apart and redo it myself. I say this because following instructions and building sets is a great way to learn a lot of unique techniques for building your own builds.

[@GodTierComments]

Imagine people living in a trailer having a Lego city

[@King_CreepaLot]

Absolutely wonderful work as per usual. You would think Lego would allow for easier systems with their new modular road plates, though your system seems to work pretty well!

[@BevinsBricks]

Thanks, Im surprised they havent come up with at least a simple curve as much as people ask for it. The way it was explained to me is the standard road plates are for that and the new road plates were intended for kids, apparently kids dont want curves lol.

[@foxleader3253]

@Bevinbricks brickies has done curved roads with the new plates

[@BevinsBricks]

I dont watch him, but its not the curve that Im talking about as I myself have made several version of curves. Its the angular road with the new road plates. Ive seen noone do that before.

probly one or two of the trailers shouldent have lights cause when you have the lights on it is uasually night time and at night some people would be sleeping so two of the trailers should not have lights

[@BevinsBricks]

was hoping this weekend but something came up and didnt get the work done

[@xwiick]

Bug zappers is something i always see outside of trailler/caravan park/sites. Think it would also add some life on a random timer

[@BevinsBricks]

That would be cool, I will have to see if I can figure out a way to make one, as it would be simple to light with a blue led. 😀

[@dmonsef]

It really annoys me that LEGO has made the flat curved road plates, curve train tracks, curved LEGO pieces, but they can't make curved road plates to match the newer road plate pieces?! It's beyond ridiculous that LEGO has the resources and designers to create curved road plate pieces, but ignore/refuse/etc to do it! It's almost like they doing this to forces us LEGO fans to buy more pieces to try to make curved attachments to the newer road plates. It almost makes no sense at all.

[@BevinsBricks]

While I get it and it does feel that way. I think its more that in the past the curved road baseplates was the part that noone wanted and everyone hated. So much so that Lego started packaging them in a manner to force people to buy them. So I think they just feel its not a necassary part. Even if Lego made a curve it still would not allow you to make a diagnal road like I have done here unless they made them splittable into 45s

[@Piqued-Pug]

Has the city died or something? Where's the content gone?

Love seeing the progress and always looking if I can get ideas from it for my small city :)

You could and could also snot build the dirt area but, I wanted the studs showing as to me it gives a better look for dirt/gravel.

@@BevinsBricks I meant more the road that currently is laying on the tiles (the diagonal part) I noticed that under it you also had a brick that is probaly also located on a tile or standing on studs.

[@Zabadak]

That trailer park. Is a great ideas and not seen often in Lego City's. I mentioned it before But this is ver good solution to make virved roads. I wondered already why the Designers of Lego did'nt make there own solutions or roadplates with a curved. The same for the masonry bricks. Why are there only straight brivkes. And no corner masonry bricks. In my opinion a mistake the they don't have them.

This is incredible. The elevation change looks natural - and you make it look sooo easy in your videos. Well done. However, I must admit, adding a trailer park to your layout (to me) is risky. I lived in a trailer park for a few years. To make it look real (especially for this small-town feel) you need to add a lot of details... uncut grass with busted mowers, cars without wheels, over filled trashcans, lots of couches in the dirt parking area!

I agree it was an idea I worried about doing at first. Seriously though I was affraid people would think I was making fun of trailers or lower income housing. But to me I have lived in one myself and every town I ever lived in always had one somewhere and they were always near railroad tracks it seems lol. So I figure what better a space to use for one. :) 😀

I think my only comment on it is similar to that backdoor + fence thing.... I think maybe some unkempt/scraggly foliage or maybe a little fencing to separate behind some of that trailer park from the tracks would be realistic? Tends to be slightly under budgeted so maybe a little less full foliage would add that visual barrier, but provide some realism for sound and safety to separate the tracks from the "back yards" :) I love how the towns coming so far though!

Absolutely I plan to do a fence and lot of plants, broke down car and other details as well. 😀

Have you ever given a thought to slightly elevating the outer side of the train track in the curve, as RL curved train tracks are, to accomodate the centrifugal force? I love your trick with "curved" roads, I was trying to do something similar for my own town.

I never worried to much about it as I run my trains fairly slow but yes that great for going at a faster speed. And thanks 😊
