The magnets are definitely a revolutionary concept! I love how smooth it works out and makes for such a great night scene in the city.

[@BevinsBricks]

Thanks, I just wish I could keep them in stock lol. People buy me out fast on them. I kept 20 for myself this time to use in my city though lol

Just looks so good in the city an the magnets🤩 You are truly one of my favorite Lego youtuber😉

[@BevinsBricks]

Thank you I appreciate that, I'm gonna work in a intersection and get more buildings placed for the next update.

[@TheStiggggg]

I really like the magnet connectors. I'm way to ADHD with my city and love moving things around. That is the biggest reason I avoided lights.

[@BevinsBricks]

Thanks, yeah the way most companies sell light kits was a big reason I didnt like them at first myself. But I cant get enough of lights now.

[@jasonsbricksin5]

I’ve been really happy with the lighting products I’ve bought from you and the magnets are great. Just when I think I’m getting to a point to take a break lighting my city, you share an awesome option like lighting cars that are movable and totally my plan to take a break. Lol excellent job

[@BevinsBricks]

Lol, well the bright side is the modular connectors are much cheaper to use. :) and thanks for the feedback so glad to hear you like them.

[@rebricks]

well, I know what I'm doing once I get around to adding lights to my city. That is such a genius idea! Many many kudos to you.

[@BevinsBricks]

Thank you so much they can be a bit figety but using the friction pins helps a great deal.

[@rjray1176]

Very inspiring! Fantastic techniques!!

[@BevinsBricks]

Thanks 😊

[@Bricksonville]

The magnet system is pretty cool. I am already using those wireless power connectors for a while to connect the baseplates to each other. It makes the powering so easy and with a magnet it works even better I think. :)

[@BevinsBricks]

The modular connectors are a great way to do it more affordable, but I love my magnetic connectors. Trying to figure out a way to make them more affordable, so always playing with new ideas.

[@Zabadak]

A lot of work but it is worth it. That lichting system of you works perfect. And a great suggestion of the watchers to move that train shed. It looks absolute better this way

[@BevinsBricks]

Thanks buddy, yeah after seeing so many suggest it I thought I really need to move that over and so glad I did.

[@EvansBrickhouse]

The move does make the train station look great and raising the tracks for crossings is sweet. All the tracks where I’m from are all small, medium or large hump. Those lights add so much detail along with the tracks details. The magnetic wireless connecter was a genius creation. Looks fantastic man. Glad to see a new video.

[@BevinsBricks]

Thanks John, hope things are going well with the new bricklink store also buddy. With the lighting products I'm blown away with the popularity of them.

[@EvansBrickhouse]

@@BevinsBricks I will eventually get lights from you and it’s going great 120 orders already.

​@johnevans4615 no rush my friend, now that I've started selling lighting is only going to grow😊 glad to hear sales are doing great for you as well.

[@MayoHosko]

2:16 what’s a wig wag?

[@BevinsBricks]

Lights that flash back and forth are typically called wig wag circuits. Like you see at a railroad crossing and also on runway intersections.

[@Dishbsmeosisusujsjsjs]

Wow great update! That crossing looks really good and the magnetic connectors work great at making your city modular! 😁 👍 👏

This is such a brilliant idea Daryl! I'm definitely going to invest in this system when I get my lego city up and going. Your train shed and station are amazing also. It definitely was a good idea to move the shed back. Keep up the amazing work. 👍

[@BevinsBricks]

Thank you so much, with the lights and magnetic connectors. I'm looking for a way to get them mass produced, as they sell out so fast and take me a lot of time to solder up. But I'm beyond surprised at the popularity of them. I never thought people would like them so much.

[@nathanzollinger2810]

Your attention to detail is unmatched anywhere else.

[@BevinsBricks]

Thanks, I appreciate it. Another great builder you might enjoy is brickcraft, he is a very detailed builder as well.

[@loicroth3807]

What an update, your electrical system is very impressive. Keep going, your products look amazing compared to the other brand.

[@BevinsBricks]

Thanks so much, being a 30 year electrician I have tons of ideas I am working on to make lighting more unique and easier to use for everyone.

[@brodymclaughlin]

Wow, that final shot was chefs kiss

[@BevinsBricks]

Thanks, I plan to add traffic lights more street and buildings in the next update.

[@blacktronpavel]

These new modular circuit connectors are a game changer! Right now I'm running battery pack craft lights, and that's troublesome and limited. This is most impressive.

[@BevinsBricks]

Thanks, yeah I can't stand using batteries. It's why I use the vintage train tracks also. My lights are all ran on a usb power supply, and with the connectors and the lighting system I sell it makes lighting buildings a piece of cake :).

[@blacktronpavel]

@@BevinsBricks that's the next step, switching to USB.

[@BrickLoft]

Incredible commitment to get the wiring so clean and it works wonderfully. Also the train tracks are starting to look amazing ballasted. No idea why I chose black sleepers for mine. Might have to change that in the future. Great work as always Daryl

[@BevinsBricks]

Thank you so much I appreciate it. Most people choose black for the sleepers on the track as it's usually easier to come by and less expensive so I don't blame you there. I have also seen people use light blueish grey and that looks amazing also.

[@thorakvideos2495]

Man, this is really really cool! It must be sooooo satisfying to push those cars down and just have it work :)

[@gta71000]

I wish i could get 9 volt trains and tracks but besides bricklink i dont know what would be the best way to go about fonding some. All the train motors on bricklink all seem to missing pegs or so (no idea what aprt of rhe train motor that is unless its the fronts and back?)

[@BevinsBricks]

Well honestly the best way to get the track if your willing to spend 1 to 2k is find a bulk used lot for sale on Facebook marketplace. That was how I got such a large amount. Bricklink will cost you a fortune buying from multiple places just in shipping. It is a good place to get started though. If you don't mind off brand tracks you can also buy trixbrix track as they sell 9v also. :)

[@StevenHawkingsSpitrag]

Pinching and binding can cause greater resistance no? (I’m only an apprentice 😅)

[@BevinsBricks]

Yes there is added resistance with this type of connection but we are talking about 1/10 of an ohm. So even with 10 of these your now only looking at a total loss of 1 ohm. Not something work calculating for. 😀

[@PeppiOnkel]

Love your wireing system, is it available in Austria to ?

[@BevinsBricks]

Yes, but it will be about another week before I have the magnetic connectors back in stock.

[@andrewmazzarini2742]

I'm thinking about getting some of the lighting kits for some of my trains, is there a way to plug your lights into a PF battery box or will I have to accommodate another battery pack onboard?

[@BevinsBricks]

Awesome, they are great for making the trains modular. As for the battery packs, I'm hoping to have a few more options available in the near future for pluging into the Lego power packs and using button cells, but currently yes the only option I have is using aaa battery box.

[@DerekBrameyer]

How concerned are you with current drop or throughput for the full display once everything is switched over to the new modular connectors?

[@BevinsBricks]

Well I keep all circuits at under 1 amp of draw. Not worried about current drop as there isn't enough length in any circuit for it to be a concern. The magnets are rated for 5 amps and the wire is good for 3 at 5volts. At least I have tested it at that current. But I still only run 1 amp per circuit as my power supply is rated for 1.5 amps per port. Quick rule of thumb, 100 leds is 1 amp 😉

[@ceciliaFX]

Slick!!!

[@BevinsBricks]

😀

[@Poiyda]

The magnets for the lighting is next level….I think your system could put all the other lighting guys out of business

[@BevinsBricks]

Thanks, but what will happen is all those companies will end up making a version of them as well if they become to popular.

[@someboringperson]

That's all pretty great. Do you have any plans to do any vertical magnet connectors? Like, where you can take a floor off a modular building and not have to disconnect the lighting?

[@BevinsBricks]

I currently offer the modular building connector that does that, and it's also what I use for the cars. I am toying around with a vertical magnet but it will cost more and it will be 1 brick tall, which would make it less convenient for buildings.

Hello Peter Yes I do offer flat rate to the UK for 17usd no matter how much you buy. With the mils connectors I'm hoping I will be able to stock them again in 2 weeks.

[@brittlebloo]

Your 1x2 brick magnetic wire connectors are a great idea. I foresee other brick lighting companies creating similar connectors once the word is out. But I believe your wired magnetic train couplers are going even more popular once you make a video about them. I would create a healthy stock of those before making that video.

[@BevinsBricks]

Thanks and yes I do expect other to male and offer them as well. Which hopefully with be a good thing. Maybe others can come up with a more affordable solution. On the train connectors I currently have about 50 made and trying to get another 50 and plan to include the use of them in my next city update :)

[@grahamcrooks6064]

There needs to be an Academy or Guild somewhere that can present you with an Award for coming up with this magnetic connection system! It's absolutely Genius! Building them into the MILS bases appears to make everything so simple. You need to file the patent application Now! 😀

[@BevinsBricks]

Thanks, I did look into getting a patent but after talking with an attorney and them explaining the costs and how easy it is to get around the patent it's not worth trying it. As the way they explained it all a company would need to do is change the plug type or wire or installation point and i wouldn't have a case and if I was to cover all bases it would cost me roughly 1k per patent.
