@rbleisem2 жыл бұрын
@@RobinHoodBricks So something for if instead of one extra wagon, you add, say, three to five, more? But then she gets a bit too big for your station, I recon. Also waaay more wires. As for your selling points in the trains, have you considered using those car doors? Put the fix-in-place stuff on the turning joint location and... Only need to place the storage racks to the side, so folks can pass by. Which would also solve that dept problem with that one car. Might even solve some problems with some of your other trains, their eating wagons. Say, will you re-up the engines on your freighttrain? Maybe add a few extra locomotives? Do think that you should place the loco's, that can be placed back to back, together, as a unit. Bonus if you can join that two into that freight logo color code, that you have a couple of tiles, off. Do look up the older lego steam trains with a engine, see if you can grap their drive beam side setup or not. If you can, think Garrett or Mallet or perhaps both. Do look up wind energy, you have today, three or four different setups, the standaard windmill, a vertical blade one, a horizontal blade one (that could fit on a roof top or edge), and a vibration one. Could maybe be a adition to your @sweat building? Trains generate wind, for one. Now I know you ain't going to create a train layout that is basically on first floor or rooftop, level. But if placed in the right corner, it could show off a nice former train/metro track, that is now a urban park or so. Unless you want to give your Batman, a hidout for his transport options. So, where are all the roof gardens? Have you seen the Shuri's Sunbird 76211 set, yet? Some fun part, there, like a light blue see true window version of the ones you used on this train or that part you used for you undersea-base, it's moon-pool (2X). Why don't you check it, to see if there is anything you like? Because some of the structual work might I think, work quite well for some train locomotive setup for engine cover to cabin, transfer. Say Robin, a question, where is the old city gate (and wall) of the old inner city of the town? Might be the place a big red door, on it's side, could be used as a outer defence shutter like door, with a metal grill plate behind it, for extra frustration and kill-box effect, before the more normal doors are put in place. Yes, see if you can add that Ninjago Temple Door to your Brick Nothing(?)Ham Castle. Bonus if the Forrestmen can be seen stealing the Ham, again. Bit of a shame you can't use some of the newer Castle set to create a inner city castle wall or so. Near the monorail station in the harbour section and the Bounty, might be a potential location, when you think about it. Find a few other locations and.... Will you go for the Lego ideas Smithy, by change? Both sides need a place to get new weapons, from. Say, would my brickling gallery have some ideas for you to use? Even if you have to modify some of them, that is. Anyway, till the next time. www.bricklink.com/v3/studio/public_gallery.page?idUser=1281396

You could leve the ones on level +1 and -1 because it's not as obvious there or just raise them in the buffet section.... The other thing what sort of gripes me is that grill in the buffet car.... You said you placed it more forward but why just not replace more of the grill for Windows ?? It's not like you need it...

Train motors in general sometimes get a bad rep with the custom Lego train community because "they don't have any power." In truth, they have plenty of power at high speed, but very little at low speed. This means that while yes, they are underpowered for a slow-moving freight train, they're often perfectly adequate for a high-speed passenger train. And if you can squeeze their massive bulk under the tender of a streamlined passenger steamer, you should be good to go for high-speed service on any layout, especially large ones with wide curves and shallow grades.

It was the sticker in the center that really made me notice the lack of detail. The whole carriage just looked flat and boring. I believe that I now notice this after watching your train builds and the attention to detail. I imagine that you would have recessed the sticker or framed it in some way. It's your attention to details that really make your channel interesting.
