[@Jumbobloke]

The Zeppelin train should be parked in the shed so the cargo train can go on the outer loop. Great video as ever robin!

[@icemorons5678]

Robin, I highly recommend the TrixBrix double-length straight tracks. They are 32 studs long, and replace two of the standard Lego straight sections. This results in less joints, and an overall smoother ride. They are injection molded, and the quality is excellent. Thanks for doing the review of the items you were sent. I was very curious to see how the zero-gap switches would work. Carry on with your new room renovations. I can't wait to see actual city progress restarted!

[@RobinHoodBricks]

That might affect the lovely chug chug noise from the Flying Nottsman. It's gotta be the sound of the wheels on the track!

[@user-kp5pn6gu9y]

Oh my - the fun you are going to have! (and the fun we are going to have living vicariously through you)

[@RobinHoodBricks]

I do hope so!

[@MatecaCorp]

That looks great! The rhythmic noise the steam train makes is actually the motor slipping. LEGO train motors don’t have much torque lol

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Good to know. In this case I really like it!

[@thenetheriteminecart384]

Well if it was on a fast train you would not like it cuz I imagine it would slow thew train.

[@justinamerican8200]

Just so you know, when I have a bad day, your, "HELLO KZbin!" always perks me up a little. Thanks, man.

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Glad to hear it!

[@Jacob-W-5570]

Never heared of trixbrix before, but thats some nice stuff! the narrow gauge for some trams trought the city (besides the elevated mono rail) would be amaxzing. Really looking forward to this city coming along over many many episodes to come!

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Yes it'll be a long but fun slog!

[@prokesuk]

I think this demonstrates the quality of the track. Carpets are not flat and firm surfaces, even with low pile. Everything seems to be staying in place even with three trains running.

[@RobinHoodBricks]

I noticed a tilt at one point but it didn't cause any issues. The only issue I had were collisions resulting from badly set switches!

[@GP30_Foamer]

18:26 there actually used to be a stretch of dual gauge track a few hours from where I live, and you could actually see narrow gauge engine pulling standard gauge trains and vice versa thanks to special wagons with two different couplers for each gauge. I think that a dual gauge section could be a cool fun build for the train system in your city!

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Wow that is strange. I assumed they'd be all one gauge or the other!

[@Erikve]

Awesome video; and now it becomes clear how big this room actually is!!

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Sometimes it looks only a little bigger, other times scarily big!

[@Mitsubeasti]

Liking the Flying Nottsman, looks really nice running. I’m a big fan of Lego steam trains, always nice to see how others build them. Just a shame Lego don’t make extra train wagons like they used to. I run a lot of the 9v stuff and found Fx bricks tracks good, not as much selection as trix in the points and junctions side of things. Best to use the floor space to plan out and adjust your tracks, be easier than trying to around buildings and roads later on.

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Very true. Yes I love my steam train. I love its sound too and the internal firebox light!

[@vprjls102075]

Love the train setup and can't wait to see how it progresses. Seeing the lego switch track on the outer loop though seems like a perfect place for a special platform for the zeppelin. Or if you wanted to go vertical (possibly a little crazy) it could be used as a merge point where a elevated track slopes down and joins with the outer loop. The elevated track could originate from an upper level of the train shed or even pass through it and join/split from another area of the outer loop.

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Haha, that is ambitious. I have a plan for the Zeppelin having a shed linked to the inside track. There will be less real estate between this floor setup and the wall when in its final spot and the monorail will be elevated of course!

[@dennisbomhof]

Funtastic Robin, seeing it all layed out on the floor one realizes how big BN 2.0 is going to be. I look forward to your road scheme and where you're railroad crossing's will be!

[@RobinHoodBricks]

More rail equals more crossings. I think I'm up to six in my plans. We have only two currently!

[@dennisbomhof]

@@RobinHoodBricks Six... wow!

[@realcrazypotato]

I think it would be really interesting if the cargo train went all the way to the edge of the room (around where the boxes are) but the passenger line stayed where it is, so you can have some single track

[@RobinHoodBricks]

It would but then I have to fit buildings around two separate distinct curves which is a real pain. They each take up a lot of space if separated!

[@realcrazypotato]

@@RobinHoodBricks that is a good point, but it could also add some cool challenges and interesting designs like the golf course!

[@acaciaphoenix6348]

I think leaving the gap between the two double rails is a good idea as a central platform is needed for the two inside trains to be loaded with passengers! the zeppelin could still run on one of the internal loops however if you use a switch to add the old train shed build on a seperate siding in a different part of the loop! almost like the zeppelin is a little project the owner of the shed made!

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Yes, this is my current thinking. There was always going to be a middle platform, just a shorter one. It's a great use for the Train Shed!

[@railwayjade]

Wow, wow WOW! SO COOL! I can't wait for it to be in the new city!

[@RobinHoodBricks]

And there'll be more then too!

[@BinkBricks]

This layout is going to be so cool! The train layout is awesome, the way it works is so unique and makes me so excited to see what you will do with the new city. Just a suggestion, but I feel like the main train station should be a large transport hub. As you said you will have the subway nearby but I think it would be a good idea. Awesome video!

[@RobinHoodBricks]

The tram will link up and do will a fake aubway entrance. We could add the bus station but it might be nice to spread them out a little!

[@Vegardye]

Im also a purist, and wont include third party pieces, one exception is traintracks, since Lego havent really made any alternatives themselves. Also the in the new subway system you should have a couple sections underground with generic tunnels that you have a oval shaped holes for peeking into, kinda like you did with you Ninja Turtles Lair.😊

[@WhiteWolf-gx8ll]

I am also a purist, but I make exceptions for parts Lego doesn't make, so not only train tracks but also custom sized train wheels and connecting rods for steam engines, otherwise all the parts I use in my builds are genuine Lego.

[@RobinHoodBricks]

I was thinking of a viewing port from above. Like a grille with people walking over it!

[@Vegardye]

@@RobinHoodBricks why not both?😉

[@rbleisem]

@@Vegardye purist also, but I also go for a plate the size of a baseplate, makes mils plating modulars, so much easier and the only folks on Amazon, with that size, have a very good plastic quality.

[@Vegardye]

@@rbleisem I dont buy third party tracks that is the same shape as LEGO’s own, but tracks they havent made themselves is okay, have only bought a double crossover from 4Dbrix by now, same size as the 7996 but actually works😊

[@davidbarbay4132]

Yes! Trains! That's such a great way to have all the trains on display while not in use while maintaining stacked and packed. Can't wait to see it all amongst the buildings. Side question, are you planning to add more wiring to the city now that it's going f from the ground up, such as switch controls, lights or more moving buildings like the ball machine building?

[@RobinHoodBricks]

I'm always open to individual projects having power like my coast guard helicopter, GBC building or Turtle Lair but I'm not planning to light the city or do automation. I'm too old skool!

[@Al8lack]

Really pleased that the zero gap tracks work. This is going to look great in New Brick Nottingham!

[@RobinHoodBricks]

It sure will!

[@JM-oh4yi]

The only concern I'd have with the zero-gap track sections is if any 8 stud wide trains were introduced like the Lego Orient Express, other than that it's great space optimization!

[@RobinHoodBricks]

I have my own orient express carriages on the Flying Nottsman but I know what you mean. I have prioritised the city over future wide trains. I've got a lot to fit in!

[@thealienamongus]

7:31 I really don’t think I fully understood the scale of your new room until now because holy **** that’s a lot of track

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Tell me about it. I bought a huge wedge of track twice and it's still not enough. And then there's the subway, haha!

[@G-Jet92]

Love the Zeppelin Locomotive wish I had one 😁👍

[@RobinHoodBricks]

There are two videos on its creation if you're interested. It took me months to get juuuuust right, haha!

[@GJBricks]

I do love TrixBrix stuff. For so much in my collection, a solid choice. Fantastic train collection! Hi btw, been awol from youtube for a while. Life got the better of me but hoping to pick up everything again and your channel is inspirational. Looking forward to seeing the new room

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Just wait until all the cargo train stuff is on there as well!

[@GodmanchesterGoblin]

I have also gone to TrixBrix for additional track options and will do so again. First rate product! And as I'm sure you've realised, faster trains or trains with longer carriages benefit greatly from the larger curve radii.

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Yes. I was tempted by very long curves but it's just a nightmare to plan a dense city around. This is a happy medium!

[@GodmanchesterGoblin]

@@RobinHoodBricks Understand completely. Even the R56 curves that you bought for the outer track run will help, though.

[@jumpingjuniperbarnstrum]

I think if you're gonna get the narrow gauge tracks, and some of the mixed gauge tracks, you could have the mixed gauges in the docs

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Docks and mine either side!

[@PELICANMAINLINE]

As a bit of a suggestion, Trix brix produce double length straights. To save on using millions of single lengths it might be worth buying a couple packs of them. Also an idea for the zeplin: make it a static display on a plinth outside the new station building perhaps? Love your videos and can't wait to see BN2.0!

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Not sure I understand the double length track. It all looks the same post sleepers and ballast. I don't think it's cheaper either!

[@PELICANMAINLINE]

@RobinHoodBricks Understandable. It was an idea at the end of the day. Regarding the mine facade would you be able to put length of dual gauge track plus a set of narrow gauge buffers in the space available and then perhaps carry on the mine track system into the callax unit sector. Also if you like I'd be happy to share some images of narrow gauge locomotives for inspiration for future builds.

[@andrewfield176]

Great to see the TrixBrix track working so well. As JJ has already shared from your last video we have some of it - the awesome ‘double crossover’, the y-loop, and - more recently - the high quality double straights. All highly recommended. Anyway - great to see all this. Plus it is marvellous to see your real plan now emerging - the existing packed & stacked Lego room combined with this new enormous space for more Lego. You’re keeping them both aren’t you?

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Haha, I don't think that was part of the deal. Besides it'll be good all together!

[@TheWanderingRailfan]

Robin, as a fellow Lego train fan, I love this design! I have a few recommendations though! I recommend trixbrix's R40 (same as original lego) for crossovers. these switches come with a little track called an R40 adapter so you can connect two like switches to form a neat little crossover. With 2 left and 2 right switches, plus some half tracks, you can form a 6 track long section with crossovers for both tracks. Trixbrix also has a 3 track long double crossover, which does the same thing. These pieces are quite pricey, with 4 of the R40 switches being around $100 USD with shipping, and the 3 track double crossover is about $60-70 USD with shipping. I would recommend the double crossover at one or both ends of the station, removing either 3 or 6 tracks. I would also recommend one of either on both sides of your loop halfway between the station. Thanks for the great content!

[@RobinHoodBricks]

The added benefit of the crossovers is that they look very cool as well. I think these should be easy to retrofit. I have so much to buy right now!

[@TheWanderingRailfan]

@@RobinHoodBricks so much!!

[@ceesvolkers6969]

Robin, you have it in Switzerland too. There, many narrow-gauge museums and the regular gauge run interchangeably, and in the transfer stations.

[@RobinHoodBricks]

I remember going up the Jungfrau on a mountain train!

[@ThePrecipice66]

Exciting times! It's going to take time as you say but it'll be a heck of a journey. On that note, has Mrs Hood Bricks given you a timeframe to vacate the old Lego room?

[@RobinHoodBricks]

I hope to be fully out but the end of the year. Earlier if I can. Need to do a final tour of it first!

[@sethtcreations5061]

this looks absolutely awesome!

[@RobinHoodBricks]

It was!

[@tomalator]

I'm worried about the clearance the yellow train has to get past the white one in the station. Definitely worth watching out for I also think the yellow train needs one more car to make them all the same length. Or maybe another double decker car to replace an existing one

[@RobinHoodBricks]

It seems fine to me. And I already have a baggage wagon planned for the yellow train!

[@user-vh1fk7kh8x]

Really looking forward to seeing the cargo train running with the passenger trains going past! Going to be noisy!

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Pardon? You'll have to speak up. Yeah bringing that down will be a few trips!

[@mattscott8961]

I'm an ex model rail roader that's gotten into lego trains. I haven't bought any trixbrix stuff, but I have cut lego switches to get rid of that silly kink in them. Your 'packed and stacked' philosophy is what model railroaders call 'compression of scale' 😝 I only have a relatively small U shaped layout for my trains...but it has a port yard and a freight yard at either end (purpose for the trains to exist), a valley, an old town, a new town, a trestle bridge and even a subway station. My passenger train runs on auto using the power functions app and a colour receiver (coloured tiles on the tracks) and stops automatically at stations and ramps up and down in speeds for the inclines. The 'game' is to manually drive the freight train between the two yards delivering goods without interfering with the passenger train. It's lots of fun. What a model railroader would call a shunting puzzle.

[@RobinHoodBricks]

That sounds spectacular. Yes compression of scale is definitely my game. I'm sure, given the space, we'd all have sweeping curves over viaducts in steep valleys but cramming stuff in requires compromise. Photos please!

[@mattscott8961]

@@RobinHoodBricks I can take some pics tomorrow I guess. Where should I send them?

[@lifeoutdoorseveryday1682]

This is incredible! I can’t wait to see it on the tables. A triple in the cargo yard would look fantastic.

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Yes, I've yet to plan that area fully but it needs to have a lot going on!

[@rechnin6680]

You could have a dead-end shunt for the Zeppellin, and if it is going to be mainly stationary, dress the platform up with guests, press and digantatries comng to see the special train. I still think you need a DMU!

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Yes it'll be housed in the new BrickLink Old Engine Shed. Surely express trains are more exciting than a DMU!

[@rechnin6680]

@@RobinHoodBricks That's cool. They might be more exciting but a Lego DMU could be an excellent design project.

[@rbleisem]

Robin, those big ocean explorer ships, can you get a few of those hulls without stickers and some old cargoship stickers? Because you could use those hull parts to create some bigger cargoships and thus show cargo transfers from ocean going ships to coastal going ships. As for this layout, are those four tracks, your city station setup? Will you keep it like this or rotate it 90 degrees, so you have more room for this? And can you create a raised line? Because then you could run your your Zeppelin on it, for one. As for a funny, what if you made a modified Zeppelin? One that is two or three wagons long and has that shared boggie setup between them, for a better pushing power transfer? Could be the train to the airport, for one, travel in style. The yellow train, put that double car in the middle, as a mirror to the white one, it will then look better with it's lone big car, in the middle. As for your cabinets, can you mount a support plank in between them, for your crawl gap? That way you use even more parts of them, for a P&S. lol

[@RobinHoodBricks]

I think I have thought transport ships already and yes this is the station and it'll be this way around I think. I use the monorail for my elevated train. It's a lot lower profile on the air than rail track!

[@rbleisem]

O and here I thought a pier with a big ship and two smaller ones. Cargo off-loading to shore and to &from two smaller cargoships. Mayby they are river boats or else small coastal freighters? Would give you a fun sense of scale, if you lay one of the other bigger boats are laying in the harbor. Big harbor, small harbor.

[@xinlu2806]

I love the new layout! And I have some suggestions you might like too: Instead of having just "rectangular" circuit, try to put some non-90-degree curves in some places to make the track a bit more interessting. Or change the distance between the tracks in some places. And I think it would be great to have the zeppelin train parked in some kind of Inventors shed, since it was a prototype in real life and I think that could be a really fun build. One last thing I always suggest to city builders because I really like it: A section where the trains run tram-style on a street. I hope you might like some of these ideas too :)

[@RobinHoodBricks]

I didn't want non 90 degree turns because of the cargo train. It's too long and heavy and that'll derail it. The distance between the tracks will change in the final placement, for even more density, and the street car idea is also a possibility I'm considering but not for these trains!

[@Yogington]

At the rate you're expanding, it's gonna take years to get the cargo train to catch it's own tail!

[@RobinHoodBricks]

That's the only downside, haha!

[@mybobize]

Great video! I can’t wait to see your new city! One idea I’d love to see is if you got the Horizon Express (10233) and put your own Robin Hood Bricks spin on it!

[@RobinHoodBricks]

That would be cool but it's a TGV so I'm not sure I'd modify it at all. Cost is quite high on that and it'd bump another train out of the city so I'll probably pass. I'm already spending a fortune!

[@mybobize]

@@RobinHoodBricks This is true. I have one copy and it’s my favorite Lego train I have. I love the original TGV Sud Est model. Thanks for the reply!

[@doctorcreeps2169]

Amazing test! Glad that Trix Brix has passed with flying colours, and i’m very excited to see the new layout too! have you considered making the central station have multiple layers (maybe subway, main line and the tram network) a bit like the central train station in berlin? Having 3 layers of trains on top of each other would really be packed and stacked!

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Well my current central station has the elevated monorail tram over the trains and a subway entrance so it kinda will be that again. All linked up. I can't have an actual full subway station there as it's not near a table edge and it's also where I'll be crawling in. It'll be too low!

[@blacktronlego]

"...Clever men with clever brains/Spend the weekend watching trains...'

[@chrischristiansen6204]

I suppose without redesigning to make more underground visible when running it would be a waste to do a big loop like above ground. It will get pretty wild once bridges and crossing get worked in. The smaller narrow gauge had a tipper rail thing for dumping mine carts that looked cool. Having the harbor by the mine would work well so you can get multi use out of the loading cranes for shipping. Laying out the rails gives a bit of idea on critical table placement too. Maybe getting those in and then choosing a corner to work from would work? Not sure how much table space you would need to leave around the edges or cinched in toward the standing holes to maximize usage. That's got to be some trial and error to figure out.

[@christophercoleman8823]

Traaaaains!!! Always my favorite videos from you 😁 Def keep up the great work and progress as it's truly inspiring for when I get my own house/room to put up my own lego rail network

[@witerabid]

Very excited about the new layout! I already think there should be an automatic system that stops one train when it gets to the station and starts the one on the other siding so they continuously cycle through on each inner loop. 🙈

[@RobinHoodBricks]

That would be cool. There's so many products out there. I think I'd need help. Also I don't really want to have a PC in there to run it!

[@johnvocatura1019]

Hi Robin, looking good. Did you ever figure out how many more base-plates you will fit in this new location? Also, are you concerned that all of this new track will use up most of that new space leaving you very little building area for new buildings?

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Well proportionally it is more trains than the old setup but I'll still have much more building space. Roads and standing holes will be a lower proportion for example. I haven't finished the plan yet so don't know the baseplate total but it's about 400 I think!

[@williampulfer-melville8536]

Lets see how well the Trixbrix track works

[@RobinHoodBricks]

No issues here!

[@coasterblocks3420]

I get what you’re saying about squeezing as much into the city as possible. However, the zero gap points do permanently limit trains to under 8 studs wide whilst only providing negligible extra real estate. The Orient Express, Disney and Crocodile trains are 8.5 to 9 studs wide and any future “adult/18+” trains LEGO release will almost certainly be to the wider standard. You could of course run them on the outer loop with appropriate adjustments made for clearance.

[@RobinHoodBricks]

I'm cool with that. I'll be making my tunnels and bridges have the same clearance so everything is tight. I like this as a standard. Those bigger trains can look out of scale for a LEGO city. They can look too true to life. I like the LEGO City look!

[@sushirunner]

With the cargo train only doing the outer loop and the passenger trains staying in their own loops you probably would not have needed all the material for the t-junction. - Or do you plan to let the trains do more complex cycling in the future?

[@RobinHoodBricks]

It's an option, and it looks amazing!

[@MaxProduction16]

Might I suggest a new building for the new city? There's a burger joint in Melbourne Australia called Easey's with a couple of our old metro trains slapped on the roof and converted into a dining area and I think a building like it would be perfect for your city.

[@ragincrinz1457]

Awesome video. I'm so jelly. Also feeling sick from the spinning haha

[@farmhanddiaries5422]

Cool idea for a facade a coal fired power station

[@RobinHoodBricks]

That is a cool idea but it's not very small. It'll take up a few baseplates to get right!

Oh my god, it’s so huge!! We have to make the cargo train twice as big, no matter how difficult that will be! 😅

[@marcoloos9395]

The nose of the yellow train is that long it crashes into my parked train. So I shortened one of the locs to be able to use it. I had to modify some bricks to make this possible 🤫

At least you made it work. Moving the wheels forward might also have helped!

[@justaddbricks5527]

Love to see some third-party Lego parts being used. I haven’t personally used nor brought any third party sets / parts (though I am tempted for the money savings..) but is seems to work great and should very well in Brick Nottingham 2.0. I’m really looking forward to seeing all trains used in the next set up and other future ideas! May the cargo train double in size!!

[@G36645]

More proof that robin build a city around his trains

[@steves9964]

Looks great and things are off to a rousing start! Given your preference for layering and levels, what about multiple subway lines at different depths, perhaps meeting up at a central transfer point to commuter/light rail. Each one could have a small loop with your patented cross sectional panes showing the trains whizzing by. Could be some maximum trainage.

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Great idea but if I want a second matching train it'll cost hundreds. Each carriage uses lots of practically unique parts and goes for about £100-£150. My train has three of these. I used to get them for about £20. I can't complain as maybe I caused the surge in their popularity!

[@sampykett8799]

Great job

[@alexandre.o.branco]

Wow that looks amazing 🤩 if you need straight tracks you might want to consider the double length ones from trixbrix 😊

[@BlackringIII]

Hey Robin, not sure if you're interested in building another high speed train, but I have a free MOC up on rebrickable you may be interested in! "High Speed Train" by A.J.A

Very sharp. You've used the same cockpit glass I chose for my Lime train MOD. Looks good!

[@BlackringIII]

@@RobinHoodBricks Thank you much! I'm very proud of the nose since it's still able to accommodate powered up lights despite the thin width.

[@LearnWithMrBenjamin]

I'm sorry, I know it's complicated, but you need to automate this so all 5 trains are running at once. When the first train pulls into the station it waits and the next one sets off. I know it will be complicated but this is the only time you will have to plan and implement it.

All that wire. And a PC to control it. New Bluetooth kit. Urgh. I'm not sure I'm motivated enough for that!

[@elvisdepelvis4431]

Love the proof of concept.

[@RobinHoodBricks]

It's a winner!

[@AstroKnight118]

Hello Robin! Love your channel!

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Hey, thanks!

[@Foxybricks]

I’m so exited for 2.0 especially the transport system

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Me too. Transport everywhere with even more variety than before!

[@ChiliCheeseNuggies]

Yes.

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Yes, indeed. It'll be even bigger and better in tables. Buildings everywhere. Lovely!

[@Slavador2393]

You know you had to test that new track out 😅.

[@RobinHoodBricks]

I couldn't wait until Monday!

[@drewdutkowski1885]

You should really get 7897 for the 5th track

[@RobinHoodBricks]

It's quite similar to 60051. Anyway there will be a platform in the centre. It'll only work if shared with a tiny train!

[@richardabrown]

Looking forward to seeing the new layout did you know you can buy straight tracks from Lego bricks and pieces for just over a £1 per track pice

[@TT-Bricks]

So can we still call this a "lego" city/room now?😅😮😂

[@RobinHoodBricks]

I will be, haha. Shhhh!

[@RichardJWZ]

Hello, Bit of a random question but how big is the room this video was recorded in? I'm buying a house pretty soon and i was wondering how big a room needed to be for trains like this

[@RobinHoodBricks]

The entire room is 5.5m x 6m less the stairs etc but the setup was more like 4.5m x 3m. Enjoy!

[@paulwalker427]

Splendid video sir

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Very kind!

[@allenforbes8108]

right on tracks.

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Indeed!

[@brickartisan]

It felt like I was watching 2 nokia phones with the Snake game 🤣 shows my age! 😜

[@RobinHoodBricks]

It felt a bit like that in real life too, haha. A lot to concentrate on with filming and talking as well!

[@brickartisan]

@@RobinHoodBricks hahah the things we do for the lego hobby 😆

[@Cyroid_1]

HECK YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Woop woop!

[@andregundel3345]

Do you think you will automate it at some point so that all your trains can run at once?

[@RobinHoodBricks]

I do think that's cool, very cool, but it might slow me down a lot and I quite like to control them manually. Imagine all the wires and wouldn't I need a computer in there?!

[@andregundel3345]

@@RobinHoodBricks probably. There’s a German group (brother’s brick or something like that) who’ve automated their Lego city; lights, tram, trains and signals. Anyway looking forward to see your cargo train going round as a single train.

[@Cyroid_1]

Question: About what year does your old city take place in?

[@RobinHoodBricks]

I don't know. Current day I guess!

[@LT_Classic_GHOST_Riley2009]

Can you make some other steam loco like sirea 3

[@RobinHoodBricks]

That looks fairly similar to mine on Google but I do have another steam locomotive planned for later in the year. I need many parts first!

[@LT_Classic_GHOST_Riley2009]

@@RobinHoodBricks cool looking forward to seeing it

[@LT_Classic_GHOST_Riley2009]

@@RobinHoodBricksbut how do they look similar

[@Fiskew]

maybe make museum for Zeppelin?

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Actually, that's a good point. I could just keep him in the Old Engine Shed where he's being restored!

@@RobinHoodBricks ye

[@Fiskew]

@@RobinHoodBricks if youre going to make more to the cargo train then i think it could be cool with a aquarium one im new on this channel keep up the good work

[@facelessman265]

what about the longest train project?

[@RobinHoodBricks]

That'll be taking place on the outer loop. I've been collecting even more wagons!

[@SerialDesignationN-lw5rvn]

Where is the white passenger train’s mail coach? It’s missing from the train in this video

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Well spotted. It'll be reappearing soon for arguably my longest mentioned but never yet done idea. Besides it won't fit here with everything else!

[@SerialDesignationN-lw5rvn]

@@RobinHoodBricks I think it’s a brilliant idea to build the yellow/orange passenger train a baggage/mail car like the white one I think it will look fab!

[@00networker]

I hate to be a dr beeching about your track i love the trains but it looks like a large amout of space that you could use for other buildings robin whats your thoughts sorry mate dont take this the wrong way and i love the channel dearly 🤙

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Done if the tracks will be closer together, away from the junctions to save space. I think we'll still have a lot more of everything though, don't worry!

[@00networker]
