Five thoughts/questions/ideas: I really enjoy looking at smaller town feeling builds with landscaping (you can’t go wrong with either a city spread or small town vibes). Will there still be an airport, maybe regional or municipal? Will there be a second platform for the train station (in front of the police station) for the second track? With your new vehicle lighting system, it would look cool if there was traffic stop with a police car (with the lights on) pulling over a car because one of its break lights were out. Finally, I live in a mountainous town and would be awesome if you put one to a few houses nestled in the landscaping (trees and/or hills). I miss your old city spread and look forward to the potential this build direction has shown and is heading. God Bless!

[@BevinsBricks]

Thanks, currently I have no.plans for an airport but that's not to say I won't do one again in the future. The plugs and led lights are all available on my website www.bevinsbricks.com and yes I do intend on doing a log cabin or house or two in the woods :)

[@natemr4482]

Great city update Daryl 😉

[@BevinsBricks]

Thanks Nate

[@traintrax]

Daryl, using the wireless power connectors for the cars is pure genius. I'm going to have to try that out. Just wish those weren't so expensive.

[@BevinsBricks]

Compared to other companies mine are cheap @5.99

[@myrandommindtv]

The new road plate pieces work perfectly for lightning techniques! Also love the mountain detail going on with the train cave.

[@BevinsBricks]

Thanks

[@kennethswan4657]

Awesome update on the city 👍🎉can't wait to see more. Also loving the connection of the lights on the cars in your city.

[@BevinsBricks]

Thanks man, yeah I'm digging the uses of those connectors. They are very handy, can't wait to show everyone my next new connector.

Brother, Can I just say again, that your magnetic connectors are nothing less than revolutionary! Let's put it this way bub. I am actually considering getting into lightning now because of them (at some point)!!!!

[@getthebrick]

That is one of the products I have been waiting for! Thank you!

[@BevinsBricks]

Awesome and from what I saw comparing to other companies I am 1dollar cheaper than my next closest competitor and in my opinion mine are better quality as they are springing. :) which allows for smaller gaps and a better connection.

[@MayoHosko]

Using wireless lights is so much more convenient and interchangeable

Love those road plates. If people don't like them tell them to jump into a shallow lake 🤣

[@BevinsBricks]

Lol, they are a very useful and affordable.part. I bought a ton when they first released and were deeply discounted.

[@atticbricks]

very nice this city ... also in mine I put a long railway network with many tracks

[@BevinsBricks]

Can never have enough trains. :)

[@eaauto6182]

I like the small town type of thing you’re going for here. Reminds me of small towns in Pennsylvania or upstate ny. It would be cool if you made a highway that connects this small town to a large downtown farther away. The highway could run on top of that tunnel you built

[@BevinsBricks]

I like your thinking, May need to try something like that

[@SkyKid002]

Im about to move and will be starting a lego room in my new place and im interested in table dimensions. I kinda want something thats able to use the 32 or 48 stud baseplates so maybe 2 48 stud plates deep so I could also use 3x32's if I wanted to? And maybe two or three times that for the the length? I dont want the tables to be too big because I still want to be able to reach stuff

[@BevinsBricks]

For reach I recommend 60 width x whatever length works best. With 60 it's 6 32x32 or 4 48x48

[@clauswerle]

Great

[@JohnFKennedy1964]

Keep up the great work bevin! Also will you be adding a version of you and your family and your house in the city?

[@BevinsBricks]

Thanks, never really thought about that but it's a great idea.

[@JohnFKennedy1964]

Thank you :D

[@rclaxton1651]

Awesome lego city

[@BevinsBricks]

Thanks Rob

[@bricklover2258]

The city looks really great. I think a tunnel is always needed in any train layout and it doesn't need to be made out of lego every time either case and point is with the train tunnel I have made for my city which is made from wood. My dad and I enjoy doing little wood projects if we get the time to wnd the train tunnel for my city was one of the first ones we did. I love how the tunnel is starting. It looks a lot better than my grocery store roof, which I finally finished today that was like a Lego puzzle for me. The video on it will be 2 parts very soon. Exterior in one video and interior in another interior is about 90% done right now.

[@BevinsBricks]

Yes wood is a great alternative solution. It's probably the best and then use Lego to cover the facade.

[@andrewphillips5771]

About time you made the switch to the new road plates (that you designed years ago that I've been using for years)!!! Lol jk. That's great to see!!! Absolutely love the ability to move cars around on the city streets. Keep up the great work!! Burps are 👑

[@BevinsBricks]

Lmao, yeah I'm still thinking about staying brick built also, as I had an idea last night on how to keep them. Burps are awesome and a fast way to mountain up. :)

[@timothyabelovsky2235]

ben waiting for city update as always great too see just wish we had more look forward to the next one just hope we dont have too wait so long

Hopefully I'm back on track to start doing city work again. So no shouldn't be as long a wait till the next one :)

I need those lights! Hope you can ship them to the UK soon. I also love the small town America look. Mine is currently shaping up to be an old english town with victorian and edwardian buildings but they cost a lot to build due to all the ornate features they used to put on even the cheapest of buildings.

Excellent upgrade for the car/road connection. I’m still not a big fan of the new road plates, it would be cool to find a way to do the electrical connection with the brick built roads, however I’m guessing there isn’t really a good way to achieve that or you would have gone that route instead. The “small town” is looking great as it comes together! Thanks for sharing!

[@BevinsBricks]

Thanks and don't say no yet I had a thought last night on how I can possibly keep the brick built and use my new plugs :) which are available on my website BTW 😀

[@roboman0516]

@@BevinsBricks I did it back in 2021 with the brick built road plates. I tried posting a link to a video of it but it keeps getting removed. You can put the power board under the sidewalk on the brick built ones, it also makes it easy to pop up a small section of sidewalk to plug in and unplug the MILS plates if they have to be moved.

[@cksbricks7791]

Awesome !!!

[@extremebricks5450]

[@mr_satay]

I like the train layouts for both lines, simple and effective and they look fast. Ive recently setup some lego trains myself so seeing them is always cool.

[@BevinsBricks]

Thanks, I have a bunch of train sets I want to put together so I will probably add a train yard somewhere also to store them all

[@BrickfordCityFire]

LOVE the new lighting system for the cars! "Wireless" power without the complexity and unwieldy size of induction coils! I am also loving the small town/small city feel of this new layout, reminds me of some small cities over here in New England. Great stuff Daryl!

[@BevinsBricks]

Thanks so much I appreciate it, gonna try a new idea tonight to use the connectors on a brick built road as well.

[@BevinsBricks]

Thanks buddy, I'm trying to ho at it this time with more of a Train builders display and less of a city display. Figure I can always add more tables later if I want a large city space.

[@no_drama_wanted_here]

FX Brick has 9v compatible track with different turn radius

[@BevinsBricks]

Yes but I already own this and it costs me nothing to use

[@lksproduktion]

I am excited to see what comes next. Listening to your discussion about trixbrix, I was wondering if you heard about fxbricks? Maybe it could interest you, because they try to make 9v tracks with bigger radius (72 or 88 studs, compared to legos 56 studs). So maybe that would be an option to stay original to your 9v layout but enhance it with different radius to make some curves more smooth or realistic. - just an idea, maybe you are already aware and have rejected the idea for the reasons stated in the video. keep going :)

[@BevinsBricks]

Thanks, yes fxbricks does have awesome track. I have debated trying it but ATM funds are focused on launching my new lighting products.

[@countrabricksbuildcraze8916]

So cool how you have lit up the light s on the car s on the roads full on yeer I am not a fan of the new road plate s. But think thay would be great for drive ways of industrial arear around factory s. Love how you got tram track built into the road s. I would love to do. That. Have you got a vid. On how to add tram track.s built. Into the road.

Hey Daryl loving the new look so far and the pace! Keep up the awesome work as usual!

[@BevinsBricks]

Thanks 😊

[@Real_Moon-Moon]

That is amazing. Well done! Do you think you'll ever attempt to make the crossings work? As in, when a train gets close, it causes the gates to lower? I'm not sure if it is possible, but I thought I'd ask anyways.

[@BevinsBricks]

I would like to make them work at some point. I can make them flash but functional as up and down would be a awesome task.

[@Real_Moon-Moon]

@@BevinsBricks I agree. I bet your background would be super useful doing this task too.

[@Real_Moon-Moon]

I'm also curious if you plan to do a small harbor area.

Yeah I screwed up trying to get this posted and forgot to add that clip, it's on the far end of the city next to the train tracks, I'll make sure to show it in the next update. :)

[@frazergreen6786]

Love the new slicker road to car lighting system, also with the cave/mountain you built it gave me the thought you could build an albeit perhaps compact Batcave in the space between the inside the U of the curve with say a secret opening onto the tracks for a Batbike to enter/exit similar to the most recent Batcave, atop the mountain could be a Wayne Manor n'all but it's yer city and if you wanna continue with just the Wayne Tower build go right ahead, am sure ye'll do a bang up job of it regardless.

[@BevinsBricks]

Thanks, not sure I'll do wayne manor but I do want a house on the hill and a batcave would be a cool addition.

[@BigPlanesCustomLEGOaircraft]

The citys looking really good! I have a couple questions regarding the hobby lights that you sell on your website. Are the 8mm connectors the same ones that Brickstuff uses in their lights? I'm not as familiar with how compatible the different systems are as you are so I thought I'd ask. I may use your lights in the future in conjunction with other systems to help support your channel.

[@BevinsBricks]

Hey buddy, hope your doing well. As for the plug styles. A few companies use 1.25mm plugs which are large and most other companies use .8mm which is why I switched, plus they are so much easier to hide. Brick Stuff is the odd ball company though. I believe all his plugs are 1mm jst. Not sure why they went against the grain of all other companies. I've never purchased any of there products as I always felt they were very over priced. But from what I have heard from others his quality is good. I sell adapters to go from 1.25 to .8mm and I think brickstuff also sells adapters that go from .8mm to 1mm . Hope that helps, I keep meaning to make a video to explain all the differences and the pros and cons of them all and also a list of who is compatible with who. But I need to buy some of every product to do it 😀 If you sent me a image of his plugs on my email I should be able to confirm the size.

[@BigPlanesCustomLEGOaircraft]

@@BevinsBricks I decided to use the remaining brickstuff lights that I have on hand for my current project, but I’ll definitely consider your stuff for the next project since the prices are very reasonable. I was just unsure of the compatibility between the two systems.

[@BevinsBricks]

They recently announced they are going to change a lot of there products. So I think they will be more compatible in the future. Lights aren't cheap so don't blame you at all for sticking with what you already have on hand :)

[@BigPlanesCustomLEGOaircraft]

@@BevinsBricks Another factor that unfortunately played a role is that your store was sold out of the wireless connectors which I really needed. They must be popular! I’ll certainly keep my eyes open for the next model. I also appreciate that you sell individual lights verses 4 packs of them.

[@BevinsBricks]

The connectors were back in stock as of yesterday :). Yes they are very popular. Slowly learning what I need to focus on stocking as I continually add new products. You know it's funny, a lot of places sell lights in 3 and 4 packs and what kills me is you would think they would be cheaper that way. But they are still more expensive than what I offer. I'm hoping over the new few months to have a better stock of parts so I don't run out of things so fast. It's been difficult trying to build up a supply to give a wide range of options and keep everything in stock.

[@andreaanelli5775]

hello, excuse me, why do you insist on making circle train tracks that are unwatchable and meaningless? You have the space and you could make a nice dog bone layout and with the lego power up system (the net is full of tutorials) you could make one or two two-track stations with two trains that stop and start again continuously. If you want to do something really cool on one side of the bone you could make a station hidden in a multi-track tunnel where to park paused trains, in the center of the bone the main station with two tracks and on the other side of the bone a minor single-track station. it's just an idea... 😀
