Trains versus Trams in LEGO Downtown
Welcome back to Danjo Trains! This video is all about LEGO trains versus trams and the next major development of my Downtown LEGO City.
For context, I recently got my very first LEGO streetcar/tram/trolley from the Holiday Main Street set (10308). I motorized it with Powered Up and took it for a spin around Downtown. Next, I took things a step further by programming the streetcar with Pybricks so that it would be fully automated.
This inspired me to to consider a new train track design for Downtown, which I show in the video. The streetcar has a cool advantage over the trains, but both look great running around the city.
With a bit of clever planning in the near future, I just might be able to run both at the same time!

    Never knew about these ballast pieces, just two pieces per track piece instead of dozens? I have been making a huge very costly mistake. Why didnt Lego just make those pieces, then I would have known about them. The brown sleepers do look the best, could never work out why people thought black or grey looked better, the only one better is the wood print 1x4 that looks ten outa ten. The old engine shed is so good, maybe even better than Brickcross.

    Two or three trams linked is the way forward, then you can have a few more figs on show. There is also the new red tram with station that looks stunning cruising around town, but hiding the battery box on it is awkward and all the solutions I have tried have their downsides, somehow even though its far smaller the main street tram hides that battery box far better than the red tram. Although the red tram issue might just be down to me being useless at building and never having the time to build. That is some of the largest skirting boarding I have ever seen, it looks around 14 inch...do you live in a palace? If so CONGRATULATIONS on pulling that one off.

    • @danjotrains
      @danjotrains 27 วันที่ผ่านมา

      The new red tram is a great idea! I wonder if I can get that and the holiday tram automated together so they can run on the same loop without crashing. And no palace unfortunately 😄 just a very old building with some really uneven walls.

      If you're using a standard train motor, it's true that you don't need to hold the buttons down. But with the large motors and the standard controller, I found that you do have to always keep them pressed and can't increment them. Another solution is to use the Lego Powered Up app.
