@@jessicastevens1969bro you are insanely good at the micro stuff omg. I’d love to see you be like a micro Lego designer. Love to put a set like that in my collection. Small but has alot of interesting stuff to look at
I would suggest having the skyscrapers in the new area of the city include some 1930's New York architecture "Art Deco" style/vibes. That could retain the "classy" feeling that is so pervasive in the other part of the city while still being modern, and avoid having just grey rectangles.
most modern cities have grown up around a large river or body of water, maybe the new one could have a large river running through it? could really add character to the landscape while still allowing a modern look. Really great work all around, loving every addition.
The micro-scale MOC is incredible!! It would be awesome to display it on a pedestal behind glass somewhere on your museum! It brings a lot of nostalgia.
I go back to old videos and watch them one after the other it’s so nice to see a project come together in a few hrs which was actually months if not years!
In the "modeltrain world" you have shadowstations. Those are multiple hidden tracks with switches where you can "store" your trains so it looks they are travelling to other places. And then you let train by train appear on the "stage" when you want. It looks more realistic when they are not just going round and round...maybe it's a idea for your project :)
Thank you for showing my MOC also on the brickcrafts channel. Good luck with the airport and all other projects and videos. See you soon in the museum.
Airports are cool to fill a large area fast. I think they tend to be quite empty looking and might not fit in once the city is filled in. Maybe consider removing the airport later once you run out of room. For now it will be a great way to add a lot fast.
If the airport has a sizable watch tower, it would be amazing to see a motorized elevator in it with glass windows so you can see the elevator ascending and descending
I would absolutely love it if you integrate something miniature / micro-scale in your actual city as well. Perhaps a small mountain village all the way in the back, near the cable station? Would be so cool to see your take on microbuilds. Please give a thumbs up if you endorse this suggestion.
The runway looks like it's a bit close to the tall buildings in the mock-up at 1:22, especially since it looks like it's pointing right at the buildings. I'd suggest adding a bit of a buffer between the end of the runway and raising it up above ground level (probably more the latter since real runways require a LOT of empty space around them).
THE MICRO VERSION OF THE OLD CITY IS ADORABLE!!! If the creator allows it maybe you can have that on display somewhere as like a history thing hehe. The train adds so much life to the city its crazy to see how far its come. I'm also super excited for the Castle ruins! I verbally cheered when you started drawing it lol!
I think some ambiance sounds would be amazing, maybe a button infront of every part of the city. It would definitely make the tour of the MOC more interesting and unique.
Just love following your work! Great job you do here! Could easily join in to build! A small and humble suggestion: when the time comes, why not extend your train to the airport terminal, as it is quite common in most city airports to have a direct line to the city. Cheers from Switzerland (and I can’t wait to see the cable car in action!)
I LOVE the attention to detail with the buffer stop, most people would have built the little rail end block thingy, and then moved on, which is what you see almost everywhere, adding the little buffers adds quite a bit of realism to the city.
Id like to suggest that you somehow fix a fpv drone camera to the locomotive and setup a tv screen somewhere in the room that will display a first person view of the train ride. This will be a good addition for the future museum visitors. And would give you an excuse to build the interior of the tunnels. Also you could make use of your underground train station moc that you showed a few videos ago. Ps The miniature moc of your miniature city is nuts!❤
You know, I have no idea how I ended up here. TH-cam recommended one of these videos a few months ago, I watched a couple and subbed as it looked quite interesting. I'm absolutely hooked now, to the point I drop whatever I'm doing to watch as soon as I see a new upload. Absolutely top notch content, thank you so much for sharing these, I'm in total awe of the level of patience and creativity you have to make such beautiful art.
Very nice work, as always. I just had a suggestion popping into my mind : train tracks need a lot of space, so don't you think uplifting the future tracks would give the future modern city more space to grow ?
@@paulschmidt832You could include a separate elevated loop that's half hidden. Then just program the regular track to hide while the small track takes a short turn.
I think it would be a good idea to have all three tracks disappear into tunnels to further help the transition from the rural to urban areas. It also would help prevent having 2 train stations along the same straight section of track. Bringing the hill to the front of the city could also add some really fun depth
I can’t tell you enough how much I look forward to these videos. This by far has to be my favorite LEGO TH-cam channel. Just the time and realism you put into your builds a Lego city. It’s just out-siding. Keep up the good work.
This was a great update, loved the animated preview of future plans and ideas. However, I don't know if others will agree, but I feel that using that huge space for airport would be a bit of a waste 😕 You could build a breathtaking modern part of the city in that area. Maybe connect it with the old town with a big Golden Gate style bridge, and everything in between could be water? So that means maybe to fit the airport right next to the village. Love you chanel man, it's my favourite part of the week.
Or build it towards the back, so the perspective allows it to be smaller. Unless there is a lot of detail; for a terminal, perhaps, but for a runway I doubt that.
This is by far THE most enjoyable Lego channel and perhaps my favourite subscription channel. Love it and I often find myself wishing for more updates, but appreciate the time it takes and I would not want to see you do this any differently. Great work my man ❤ Love the MOC credit at the end also, nice to see 👍
The painted clouds are beautiful! The animated sketch effect is really top notch. This feels very professional! You are acting out my dream by creating this city, and you do it so well! I will fly out to see it in person when it is opened to the public! Have you set up a patreon to accept donations?
Love the video. I enjoy watching the world grow. But I would love to know more about how you cover the costs of such a large build and maybe a bit of history on how this all started.
Maybe you could add a train car that has a "cellphone holder" built in Lego, for visitors to put their smartphone in. So visitors can record their own video of what it's like to ride along from the train's perspective 😅 Just an idea!
No clue where this could fit, but it’d be really awesome to see like maybe a junkyard or something. (This is just bias because i love junky and like ruined stuff lol)
Awesome video as always, loved the airport idea, good luck! And so was the micro-scale! I feel like some farm lands would really suit the lower empty part like you said. Also to be honest I feel like this white building and vegetation isn't enough to fill that triangule, something seems to be missing... Anyways, Happy Halloween see you next week :)
When you do the airport, look to give ample flight path for take off and landings between the runway and taller buildings for the new area. London City Airport and Canary Wharf in the UK is a good example.
All the plans you have for the city sound epic! The airport is going to be amazing, and I can’t wait to see what you do with the ski lift! Also the city sounds really cool 😎
i love that at 6:38 you can see the train through that red building, its little bit unrealistick to see that but it added so much depth to the city and added that big city car reflection from shop windows effect vibe, if you could incorporate more such things to the city it would bring the city so much more to the life
Cant wait for the mountain!, you should maybe move the bus stop to be in front of the the cable car station so they no longer have to cross the level crossing to get there
Not sure if the multi-room train is still a thing, but this could work with a tunnel as well... What if the train exiting the room/tunnel transition was a different style to match the current area? Would be quite the challenge to route the outgoing train style back to its starting location all below the table. Easier with one way tracks like the multi-room transition. Could also add a transition to below ground going into the modern city. Build subway stops with a small mirror setup inside to see the subway go by below the road?
You get bonus points for planning to run the trains "slowly"! Almost every model railway is run far too fast, plus it unneccessarily wears the trains and the tracks and makes a little bit too much notice too.
This is such a W series and channel. You have created something truly special out of toys. I also have a suggestion.. could you make a botanical garden in your city? :)
OK, I admit it. The opening of the video with the (awesome delivery of the) voice-over as the train derails made me truly 'laugh out loud'. Thank you so much for that!!!!
I think in the modern section your building it would be really cool to have something like a fire station or a building under construction with scaffolding and the like
I think adding a bust stop outside the cable car station would be good, maybe with a bus, and some people getting off the bus and walking over to the cable car
I cannot wait to see the airport section, and this scale model it’s so awesome, for sure the updated version of the finished project must be displayed on the museum!
About the cable cart station and the lack of parking spots you mentioned that the tourists will have to arrive via bus or train. I think that is a great idea. From what I see your city is missing any sort of bus transportation. It would be lovely to add a bunch of bus stops so that the citizens can travel withing a specific area with public transport. It will also allow you to offer access (such as the cable cart station) that would otherwise be very difficult or even nonsensical to access otherwise. In the example with the cable cart station you can add a small bus stop right on the side of the main road, where tourists can disembark the bus and cover a very short distance on foot so that they reach the cable cart.
the airport is going to be way less interesting than people think. basically gray everywhere. you should integrate it with other stuff, such as a sea port or a F1 track, or both
Your plans sound great. Might be cool to have one skyscraper to be only half built with a large crane and bare steel beams with construction workers. Also many airports have a plane taxiway bridge that goes over things like roads or even canals might be interesting to add.
Your lego city is absolutely crazy with all the tiny details, but when the train goes around the houses in the back you cn see it for like 3 seconds at 6 :39 under the red house, maybe you can cover it up by expanding the red house or something like this.
Amazing as always! As a transit fan, I would move the smaller train stop near the cable car station, to allow people to transfer directly from the train to the cable car. I would also make only short local train stop there and let intercity trains just skip that stop. Other idea: because you have a central double track section, I would make trains ride on both sides in opposite directions and make each other wait at the end of the double track: this would give so much realism to the model.
I used to live in Europe. The idea of seeing another ruined castle among the mountains brings a lot of nostalgia. Can't wait to see what it ends up looking like!
You could consider having 2 "stops" in the tunnel for the train. That way, train A comes in, and after 30 seconds train B comes out. About a minute later, train A comes out. That way, it can make the track look bigger instead of just a small loop.
Great to see your design thinking, as always! Two bits of feedback: 1) You've devoted way too much space for the airport runway. I'd suggest angling it 60 or 90 degrees and letting it run into the back wall (extending past the "horizon"), basically so you're not wasting so much space on it that you could use for other things. Alternately, the runway should run parallel with the *back* of the table, not the front. That way, you can make the scene more visually interesting by putting things of various heights in front the runway 2) Given the difference in scale of the train stops and buildings compared to the train itself, I think there are too many train cars on the train. 2 or 3 should be the maximum for any train running on the system. I know that might seem underwhelming, but even a single train car is longer than the entire platform, and a full-length train is like three city blocks long. A shorter train will be a better compromise between the two different scales, and look better once everything is filled in and running.
I would suggest adding an industrial part to the new area of town - a factory or something similar. Maybe even a few industrial buildings. And near the forest you could make a sawmill and an additional train stop with wood near it, it would make the city more interesting and diverse
There for sure has to be a river running down the mountain into that lake in front of it. You've probably planned that, but just in case you didn't. It makes the landscape more realistic, because that's how most rivers and lakes form: glaciers.
Awesome update! I'm looking forward to the airport, but I may suggest trying to account for the approach of aircraft, to not have tall buildings right at the end of the runway
From a logistical standpoint, not sure if it's been suggested yet - but from the train station in the village, make a small pedestrian bridge over the tracks and then a path that leads to the lift station. This would make sense since there's not a large lot for parking next to the lift, so that people have easy access to the lift still.
It is so impressive, I'll clearly never get bored by your videos, I could watch that for hours, you are so creative and... I just have no words, I mean, everything you do is perfect. Please don't change anything!!😁😁
If you want some inspiration for a modern city that isn't as Europeans in style/architecture, I'd genuinely give downtown Detroit a look. It has a surprising amount of open green spaces, with a more axle and spoke design as apposed to the more prevalent American grids. With a wide selection of modern to early 20th century buildings to take inspiration from I think it would be a cool choice.
Still hoping for a farmers field with a crop circle and ufo! Maybe have the field near the airport and have some traffic control guys seeing the ufo and freaking out?
I really look forward to each new video you post and I wish you had more time to create content because I could watch your city construction all day long! It's looking amazing and I can't wait to see the airport developing, great work! 😀👍
super excited about future builds, the airport seem so cool I cant wait to see it unfold. Also your viewers mock lego build was the cutest thing ~~!!!!!
Unbelievable work as always. I really enjoy how you explain everything behind your planning. Please include some rock climbers on the mountain or a rock climbing gym in your new urban area if you can. :D
If you're travelling to central europe, it's definitely worth to visit the museum in person. IIRC it is located in Rosenheim, which is one of the most beautyful places in germany.
Soo much content to come in the future but when its eventually done it should be so Satisfying to look at and enjoy with all the details, building, figs, and lights, keep up the great work.
I love the idea of building an airport, but I think I would scale it down just a touch. Your cities are smaller than would be realistic, so having a full size airport will maybe look HUGE.
I have an idea for the airport: Why not try to make the plane land, taxi and take off as if it were animated but in real life; I am an engineer in robotics and automation. With my knowledge, it is possible to make a structure like a basic XY 3D printer, connecting with thin fishing wires, practically invisible, to a structure with the same size as the Lego plane, placing 3 motors for Roll, Pitch, and Yaw. The 3 wires are connected to small pulleys with stepper motors, connecting the back and two at each end of the wing and thus we have all the movements. As the plane is light, there is no need for an expensive and complex structure. I've never seen anyone do this, it would be interesting to put it into practice. I love your videos, keep going :)
Don;t forget the appraoch angle for those planes with the skyscrapers behind :) Incredible I love every part of this city!!! Lego channel "BigPlanes" has amazing models
This is so impressive! My daughter and I watch a video every night! And that micro scale is amazing, should definitely display that somewhere in the museum!
Great as always ! Quick suggestions : train stations should be longer because people cannot disembark safely with long trains. Cable car start should have Pedestrian paths
I can't wait for the airport, and to see what aircraft you make for it The scale looks incredible. It makes sense, as in large airports the runways can be 3-4km long, which is a scale I can never truly wrap my head around. I am sure you will do an incredible job of it
Would be cool to have a camera on the train and a monitor with a live feed going. I bet little kids especially would get a huge kick of of that. May even make for some neat creative use of the portions of track visible only to the camera

The MOC of the micro-scale city is absolutely amazing! Props to the person who made it
Thank you! I'm glad you like it.
None of you guys made it💀
@@amongandus just removed the fake responses... @jessicastevens1969 made it 🙂
@@jessicastevens1969bro you are insanely good at the micro stuff omg. I’d love to see you be like a micro Lego designer. Love to put a set like that in my collection. Small but has alot of interesting stuff to look at
Great job jessica
I would suggest having the skyscrapers in the new area of the city include some 1930's New York architecture "Art Deco" style/vibes. That could retain the "classy" feeling that is so pervasive in the other part of the city while still being modern, and avoid having just grey rectangles.
+1 That or the Chicago architecture, it would look awesome in Lego
Yes!! Classic 20’s-40’s American architecture for the downtown!
this. classic american skyscrapers
would love that, pretty sure he’s already adding a new york style expansion on the other side though.
I was about to say the EXACT same thing. Art Deco is the best!
most modern cities have grown up around a large river or body of water, maybe the new one could have a large river running through it? could really add character to the landscape while still allowing a modern look. Really great work all around, loving every addition.
this is such a good idea, perfect way to add another layer of interest in a mostly linear city
yes some thing like a water reservoir with a pump house
Would look amazing, plus it would fit in with the shipping port on the other side
With a beautiful modern bridge over the river like the erasmus bridge in Rotterdam perhaps, could be quite a landmark for the city
The other part of the Lego city already has a river and a lake lol
The micro-scale MOC is incredible!! It would be awesome to display it on a pedestal behind glass somewhere on your museum! It brings a lot of nostalgia.
Brickcrafts already needs a Brickcrafts museum inside his Lego museum!
I'm feeling so inspired by the scale of your plans, I can't wait to see this progress
Mogswamp? I didn't expect to see you here, but then again I'm not surprised!
Aren’t you the mc super flat guy?
MR SUPER FLAT??
Hi!!!

He could do this easily if he elevates the airport!
I had this exact idea while watching, I didn’t realize it was an actual thing with model train displays!
I dont know where you would add this, but a big Gothic clock tower would look cool in your city.
Any clock tower would look super nice
A functioning clock tower would be wild.
Using technic and motor parts would be possible to make a working clock or with a progaming application
Thank you for showing my MOC also on the brickcrafts channel.
Good luck with the airport and all other projects and videos.
See you soon in the museum.
really great work - keep it up!
The buffer stop is really detailed and shows why this city is the best lego city with the most detail :)

2) Given the difference in scale of the train stops and buildings compared to the train itself, I think there are too many train cars on the train. 2 or 3 should be the maximum for any train running on the system. I know that might seem underwhelming, but even a single train car is longer than the entire platform, and a full-length train is like three city blocks long. A shorter train will be a better compromise between the two different scales, and look better once everything is filled in and running.
I would suggest adding an industrial part to the new area of town - a factory or something similar. Maybe even a few industrial buildings.
And near the forest you could make a sawmill and an additional train stop with wood near it, it would make the city more interesting and diverse
There for sure has to be a river running down the mountain into that lake in front of it. You've probably planned that, but just in case you didn't. It makes the landscape more realistic, because that's how most rivers and lakes form: glaciers.
Would love to see a port involved with the airport and intermodal trains running through out. Love your videos.
Awesome update! I'm looking forward to the airport, but I may suggest trying to account for the approach of aircraft, to not have tall buildings right at the end of the runway
From a logistical standpoint, not sure if it's been suggested yet - but from the train station in the village, make a small pedestrian bridge over the tracks and then a path that leads to the lift station. This would make sense since there's not a large lot for parking next to the lift, so that people have easy access to the lift still.
Awesome video! I'm sooo excited about the airport. And the bigger mountain. Sooo cool and thanks for showing us the micro build. Very nostalgic!
It is so impressive, I'll clearly never get bored by your videos, I could watch that for hours, you are so creative and... I just have no words, I mean, everything you do is perfect. Please don't change anything!!😁😁
Loved the sketching segment! Nice way of illustrating your plans.
If you want some inspiration for a modern city that isn't as Europeans in style/architecture, I'd genuinely give downtown Detroit a look. It has a surprising amount of open green spaces, with a more axle and spoke design as apposed to the more prevalent American grids. With a wide selection of modern to early 20th century buildings to take inspiration from I think it would be a cool choice.
“And most excitingly, I just purchased my own Lego factory!”
Love the update! Makes me excited for the future!!
Still hoping for a farmers field with a crop circle and ufo! Maybe have the field near the airport and have some traffic control guys seeing the ufo and freaking out?
I really look forward to each new video you post and I wish you had more time to create content because I could watch your city construction all day long! It's looking amazing and I can't wait to see the airport developing, great work! 😀👍
That empty board is a Lego paradise waiting to be built!
Off the bat, a minute in and that little edit of the plan but it was made using cartoon was so cool looking and a brilliant idea.
super excited about future builds, the airport seem so cool I cant wait to see it unfold. Also your viewers mock lego build was the cutest thing ~~!!!!!
Unbelievable work as always. I really enjoy how you explain everything behind your planning.
Please include some rock climbers on the mountain or a rock climbing gym in your new urban area if you can. :D
The red train going through the grey tunnel, fantastic job, so beautiful
As always: great videos about astonishing progect! Want one day to see the City fully finished!
If you're travelling to central europe, it's definitely worth to visit the museum in person. IIRC it is located in Rosenheim, which is one of the most beautyful places in germany.
Your model is coming along well. It looks so great, I bet it would be a star attraction at a Lego convention!
A little suggestion I’d like to see : an electric cable on top of the train would add realism ! Great city overall, keep up the good work !
I am surprised LEGO are not giving you bricks for free!? This series is by far the best advert for lego building ever!!
Soo much content to come in the future but when its eventually done it should be so Satisfying to look at and enjoy with all the details, building, figs, and lights, keep up the great work.
I can’t describe how excited i get to see your weekly posts for this lego update!!!
I absolutely love the planing animation it really helps you understand! Fantastic work
Love the new drawing plan designs, good addition!
I love the idea of building an airport, but I think I would scale it down just a touch. Your cities are smaller than would be realistic, so having a full size airport will maybe look HUGE.
I have an idea for the airport:
Why not try to make the plane land, taxi and take off as if it were animated but in real life;
I am an engineer in robotics and automation. With my knowledge, it is possible to make a structure like a basic XY 3D printer, connecting with thin fishing wires, practically invisible, to a structure with the same size as the Lego plane, placing 3 motors for Roll, Pitch, and Yaw.
The 3 wires are connected to small pulleys with stepper motors, connecting the back and two at each end of the wing and thus we have all the movements. As the plane is light, there is no need for an expensive and complex structure.
I've never seen anyone do this, it would be interesting to put it into practice.
I love your videos, keep going :)
Don;t forget the appraoch angle for those planes with the skyscrapers behind :) Incredible I love every part of this city!!! Lego channel "BigPlanes" has amazing models
This is so impressive! My daughter and I watch a video every night!
And that micro scale is amazing, should definitely display that somewhere in the museum!
as a aviation geek who also watches this channel for already a year, i am HELLA excited for the airport
This has to be one of my favorite youtube channels ever. I'm here for all the updates. 12/10 tacos
Great as always ! Quick suggestions : train stations should be longer because people cannot disembark safely with long trains.
Cable car start should have Pedestrian paths
I can't wait for the airport, and to see what aircraft you make for it
The scale looks incredible. It makes sense, as in large airports the runways can be 3-4km long, which is a scale I can never truly wrap my head around. I am sure you will do an incredible job of it
This looks incredible. I would suggest some sort of rail yard/shed somewhere visible, to help sell that it’s a working railway.
Would be cool to have a camera on the train and a monitor with a live feed going. I bet little kids especially would get a huge kick of of that. May even make for some neat creative use of the portions of track visible only to the camera
Amazing video as usual. Drawing the plan over the video is a great idea! What about dust? Keeping it clean can be a nightmare.
