- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 ต.ค. 2024
- Part 2 of our main train station build consists of four areas. The Newspaper shop is the most modern alteration to this old building with sliding doors and lavender signage and furnishings, the grand pillared and arched central lobby links all the areas together, the ticket office has the staircase to the second floor and several modern ticket machines, and the platform has large roof awnings and plentiful seating. Be sure to watch Part 3!

Best model yet! Thanks!
Thank you!
Very nice, old style Lego system with new modular elements
Exactly!
Maybe a few lanterns so when it's "night" they atleast got some light
Agree, for example replace those hanging baskets on the front with some old style lanterns
@@Tom-lp9fr oo, those lanterns they introduced with 2018 harry potter sets, such one but with an neon yellow cilinder erin, that would look good, or maybe clear light blue
@@rickmartin8949 , I think the "globes" form Winter Toy Shop 10249, would look nice as well
@@Tom-lp9fr hmm, you mean those clear domes ? Which was used a lot in the 90's my wizards and witches ? Yeah those would be good but they gotta hang down then, and with some sort of color in it to be an light up effect
@@rickmartin8949 yep exactly
Tile the platform. You could use the taxi from set 60233 donut shop opening.
I figured all the taxis should be identical. I picked 60050 as the stickers were cheap!
Great ideas, thanks for sharing
Thanks, Juan!
Looks great! I think it looks fine open and untiled!
But what if I treadplate the stairs between platforms?!
Beautifully complete! 🙂
I used a 2 by 2 technic pin on my ship for a smoke stack and it moves in circles! 😂🤣
Thanks!
Few thoughts to ponder. 1) Yes feel you need your spinner thing (for tickets). Suggest adding a short wall just as you exit your news store on the platform and extend to the yellow column of your seating area. Wall would need to run back to the building to separate your platform from the station (paid and non paid passengers). Then add the spinner thing in the middle of this wall, wall will allow for additional advertising. Suggest one or two bricks high on the wall and then add the short height fence on wall. That way top of wall is slightly see thru..
2) Yes tile the platform floor. As an old building should have a fancy tile floor. Something like the Grand Emporium.
Oooh, that would be a fancy floor. Not sure if I have enough 1x1s!
I think you should tile off the station because it will give the build a very finished look
I'm gonna trial it next time!
A fun viewing as always. Looking forward to the rest.
Yes it's gonna look great I think!
I think that the platform looks fine without tiles. It gives it the concrete texture of most stations. I think that you should add the ticket barriers anyway. It's also kind of realistic that you can bi-pas them, e.g: in some tube stations, if you take the lift, you don't go through the barriers.🚊🚉
I hadn't thought of that. It's just I get a lot of comments you see, haha!
Looking good. No turnstiles. Black tiles between yellow caution tiles on the platform.
Thanks, William!
Love this both classic as well as modern look!
Yellow LEGO stations bring back a lot of good memories!
Looks great. Think I would move the news stand door from the platform, replace it with a window. Then put the door inside the hall to enclose the shop from the hall and you could then have the ticket barriers on the platform, without the shortcut through the shop.
That's one way of doing it but I'd lose the platform / shop view to a degree!
Tiling it would look good, but doesn't seem necessary. Awesome trainstation :)
Thank you!
The best trainstation I ever seen
Ekans !! with stein auf steins trainstation
High praise indeed!
So happy to have your videos to look forward to. Especially after the storms and tornadoes that kept me up all morning
It's lovely sun here, for once!
It's not always easy to make a yellow building look good, but this is looking fantastic! Excellent!
Yes, I was a little worried. Too many earth colours isn't great either though!
I love ur trains and your bridge tracks and everything!
Thank you very much!
Great video love the little details like fallen newspapers love the shop good job
Thank you!
I think having a wheelchair accessible station is a great idea!
Great, thanks!
looks cool!!!!!
Thanks!
Very nice! It would be cool to do a clock center piece, like at Grand Central. Right where Robin is standing 😃
Not sure if there's space on the inside but it needs something, I agree!
yellow's such a nice colour for train stations, has such a 'classic lego' type feel to it
Exactly right!
Looks great
Cheers!
You're absolutely right I loved it. Keep up the content, and stay safe out there everyone.
This is a fantastic build and i love watching the process how you go about swapping things, or pulling in pre built bits, you put a lot of care and attention within your videos and it shows!
Dont tile the train platform.
I'm a new viewer, going back what are some of your favorite builds, im looking for things to watch. Thanks!
Oh thanks. Subway, Castle, Cliffs, Blue Bridge, Exotic Pet Shop, Market Square, Chinese Restaurant!
Like it! Remove the steps on left side of the main entrance and put a statue there with flowers. And change the flower buckets for some lanterns instead
Thanks for watching!
I don't think you need to tile, but like the idea of the turnstiles. Adding a drop box in the middle of them would do the trick.
Yeah, it needs something!
Awesome Video, would love to see your collection (a tour)!! 👍
Literally the video before this one was a full tour!
Robin Hood Bricks No like a parts collection/where you build tour.
@@thebrickbankuk4187 That wouldn't be a great tour. A computer and lots of plastic bags with bits in a mess of boxes. I order the parts I need mainly as I don't have a big collection not in use!
Robin Hood Bricks Sorry, one last question, do you use digital designer or something so you know what parts you need for a specific MOC or do you just estimate it? Is it like LDD or Stud.io (bricklink) or something else?????
@@thebrickbankuk4187 LDD. See part 8 of my Modular Monday series for example!
Your station is absolutely great. So in a hurry to see you finishing it. Keep on going!!
A couple of long weeks to wait, I'm afraid!
Looks great. Tiles and turnstyles would be great additions :)
Thanks, Thomas!
What I love most about your mocs is all the unique printed parts and stickers. Also your ability to cram alot into small areas.
Yes, this is definitely my vibe!
Kansas City, Missouri, United States Union station was built in 1914 and today is almost fully wheel chair freindly
Excellent news!
Maybe take a couple of the bins out of the seats so u could have a couple benches (add a red seat instead) , so 2 minifigures can sit next to each other
Yeah maybe!
I think you should tile your platforms but have jumper plates so that minifigs can still stand. A textured floor would really add a lot to the platform. I love the channel -Tim
You should keep the turnstiles as a way to regulate the way that people come in and out.
Hmmm, I'm getting a lot of votes each way!
Wow so cool....
Thanks!
Very creative building techniques and nice calm commentary. Everything is awesome!
Thanks. LEGO should be calm, haha!
I like it. I also like that you consider a little history of the building itself. I've done construction most of my life, I can appreciate the "remodeled" look. 👍👍
Yeah, I think you need to consider its history at least a little. Thanks!
Awesome idea of combining a little of everything from each of the past lego train stations! I wouldn't tile the platform it adds to the aesthetic of the old look, but maybe you could tile the inside of the station with an old look, kinda like your pawn brokers shop that you did. For the turnstyle, It does add to the look but then if you want to use it fully you may have to remove the doorway going out to the platform from the newspaper shop. I thought maybe also if not the turnstyle, maybe do a revolving door like from the lego city airport sets 3182 or 60104. I do like the turnstyle idea though, for the front, instead of the hanging flowers maybe put lighting in those spots facing up and down to give the look the front being lit up. I really like the amended ticket machines. Changing the tile piece using the stickers from the hidden side set really looks alot better and more train station legit. I can't wait to see the rest of this!!! Great job Robin! Awesome video!
Thanks. The reason I'm not keen on tiling the inside is the lovely curved plates won't tile well!
I understand, it still looks awesome with the studs showing. 🙂
I do agree! It’s so fun to combine ideas of different sets and ad your own ideas as well.
That's definitely how this one came about so it's strangely recognisable!
Love it!!! Looking forward to the rest!
And for my opinion about the tiles and ticket barriers: I agree that without tiles it looks great, concrete like. And eventhough I think the ticket barrier is geniuses, I like the station more without. More spacious and luxurious.
Greetings from a new big fan 😃❣
Welcome to the channel. Many thanks for your thoughts!
Nice blend of old and new school look
Yes, this turned out so well!
Love your creativity and pulling in elements from all the old Lego sets. Brilliant!
Haha, yes!
Nice video. Thank you. I never worry about tiling the outside for two reasons. It is a reminder that it is Lego. And it makes it easier to place and move around things like flower pots, lights, people, etc...
Oh yes, it's definitely easier. I kinda want to use treadplate tiles for my overpass steps... And that might be worth the extra effort, haha!
I really enjoy the way that your buildings all have the classic look and the modern add-ons. The news shop is fantastic and the color red to the doors and white news window does a great job making it feel like its own end of the station. I think the turnstile is great at keeping the older feel but does not go with the wheelchair access to the front of the building so maybe and updated one that has a larger opening so they would not have to use the news shop door every time. And I don't think you have to plate every surface that is down because this is a lego city and needs some lego cement. So as always thank you for sharing. You have a great station and I am really am excited to see how it goes forward.
Awww, thanks for that. A nice boost!
Well done awesome vidio looks great well done brilliant
Aww thanks, D4!
Love the newspaper rack.
Thanks, Joseph!
Very nice, Robin. I like that you have used yellow as the main colour, mirroring the old classic LEGO stations 👍 Some lights maybe, for when it's dark and something to fill the left part of the platform..?
Don't know about the tiles - it might look good, but it looks alright without them as well.
The turnstile, however wouldn't fit in, in my opinion 😊 Looking forward for the next episode.
I agree with most of that I think. The space on the platform is for stairs!
Loving the station so far and the fact it's been inspired by previous Lego releases. When I saw the yellow bricks last time I had some suspicion about the inspiration.
No need to tile, don't think it would add much, will depend on what the edge of platform hazard stripe looks like on its own as without a fully tiled platform it could be it's own tripping hazard.
I wouldn't have the turnstiles either. The barriers at Newark station are regularly open.
Don't mind the longer videos at the moment. Keep up the great work!
Thank you for the support!
This is already one of the best train stations I’ve seen! I think you should keep the turnstile or make something similar
Thank you. You're too kind!
For me as a German, I really like the chosen main colors! 🇩🇪
Haha, good. I need to attract more German LEGO fans to my channel. Danke schön!
Excellent video, one of your best: long and featuring loads of progress and insight in the design process, love it! Also helps that the build is looking great!
Yes, I'm settling into my channel now I think!
Looking good the ground floor of the station. For the floor maybe tile it only the half of it , maybe. 🍀👍
Yes, that could be a plan!
Also! Maybe the exit of the rear shop has a ticket scanner to open the doors. That way you’d have to have a ticket to get in or out. For the front entrance you wouldn’t need one as the turnstile would be at the back. Think that adds a bit of modern era tech to your station too!
That could work, but what about tailgating?!
Robin Hood Bricks that’s why you have ticket conductors and CCTV... it’s always gong to happen but you’ll catch them in the act! Great to create a scene with that happening.
CCTV might be a good idea. I've got it in the subway station!
Funny how the bright yellow gives that oldschool feel
It's very LEGO retro isn't it? I love that!
What a nice theme and idea you took to make your own train station. I didn't expect the bright yellow colour, but it works! Not a big fan of the turn style, but a big open hole is also not so attractive. Perhaps some low pilars or rubbish bins to "guide" the minifigs in and out.
Other than that: great job!
Thanks very much. I think I agree!
Really like the classic look mixed with some modern upgrades, as most train stations are just modernized and not completely rebuilt. Nice job keeping the classic LEGO city train station color as well! I vote for tiles on the platform to coincide with the rest of the city, it can go along with one of the “modern upgrades.” I also vote for no turn stile. I think it would look too cumbersome for the area. Thanks again for sharing and for involving your audience!
I think you might be bang on there, Patrick. Thank you!
Yay part 2, already looking out for part 3
Me too!
Keep the platform as it is
Thanks!
Your welcome
Tile it 😜 tile it all! But I fully understand how many tiles that takes - I tile all my builds, my last BrickLink order consisted of 1200 2x2 tiles for my current build - and then there’s the 1400 tiles (2x2 and 6x6) I have on order from the LUGbulk!
Yes, this is the issue. I will trial it and decide on how it looks!
Very good. I like it as you have it, with out the turn styles. I would only tile the edge of the platform. Keep up the good work.
This is what I think, Paul!
Your MOCs are so much in my aspired style/taste. Again, the seamless blend of elements decades apart is an overlooked/underrated skill IMO. I have the first yellow Knights Castle to the Friends Lighthouse Rescue. The beauty of LEGO is the timelessness of it and being able to integrate seemingly disparate parts is art.
That is very kind of you to say and it's very nice to be appreciated. Yes, I love combining different influences I enjoy together into a new construction. Thanks for the kind words, it means a lot!
Great progress on the station, I like the feeling that the building has evolved over time and been altered to accommodate new additions. I think you need something between the main foyer and platform - perhaps a small 1x2x2 pilar and a couple of swinging gates which would only open when the minifigs present their ticket 😉
Thanks, Caz. The evolution adds a lot to it I think!
Great update. I agree, don't tile the station (at least not in grey) as I think it'll distract from all the other details. The turnstile is a nice idea, but a bit bulky and looks a little basic compared with the rest of the features.
One suggestion: replace the orange and red bikes with some of different colours, otherwise they just match the building and are not as noticeable. It's an opportunity to bring in other colours to diversify the look👍
Good plan. I've already brought in a white bike for the yellow one!
This is looking pretty good so far! I like what you have added. Using aspects of other train stations was very clever. I think that you should tile this. I usually tile all of my mocs and it just makes everything look more clean. Great job and keep it up 👍💪!
I might trial tile one platform!
I think personally that although the station is old, a tiled platform would give it a nicer, more looked after and maintained feel to the station. After all,it is the main station of a main city!
That's what I'm leaning towards!
Looks great so far. Looking forward to seeing what you do on the 2nd floor. Thanks for sharing.
I have so many ideas for changes and developments!
Absolutely love your station. The detailing is fantastic.
Perhaps a center handrail at the top of the landing at the entrance way into the platform, to divide people coming in from those out going passengers. Great job.
I have the original Lego station 4554, which I actually purchased from a seller in England. I love it, but yours is next level, for sure.
A simple handrail may be the way forward!
Looking amazing Robin I'm impressed by how good it looks
Great video Robin
Thanks so much!
Great build so far. Maybe just 2 more yellow pillars instead of the turnstile to create a sense of "in and out".
Or a central handrail? It needs something!
Maybe you can make a little parking place/ mini lot for the taxis
That's what the driveway is. There'll be a normal road right next to it!
I love this station so far!
Thank you very much!
@@RobinHoodBricks Thanks for replying!
This is going to be absolutely brilliant. 😍
I think you can definitely get rid of the turnstiles, looks quite old fashioned to me and breaks the nice perspective and openness of the lobby. Although your tickets machines look very nice, the station misses a real ticket desk... Or at least some kind of station's chief office to manage the place and help your passengers. Maybe on second floor? As another subscriber, seems important to me to add some lights (I would have placed some lampposts on the front of the building instead of flowers). Finally, tiling is always the right choice. 😉
The real station had no ticket counter now. I'm not sure there's room. I agree about keeping the middle open. I will add lamp posts to all my streets at some point. I'm putting it off!
@@RobinHoodBricks I totally understand your concern about space. That's the eternal issue with stairs: we need them but they're so big!
Yes, and then everyone wants toilets. People are obsessed with toilets!
I think an arrivals/departures board would look great. Also I'm for tiling the platform but rather than a blanket of tiles, perhaps some strips of differing tiles, a strip of studs, a strip of anti-slip, a stripe - just to break it up - just thinking of my own local station platform. Loving it so far though.
Thanks, Phil. Yes a departures board would be a good addition!
You should tile the platforms with a mix of light and dark grey tiles and periodic lighting
Yes indeed!
You very creative.
Your train station is the best.
I love your buildings very much.
Thank you so much. That really means a lot. I take it you've done Fast Food Corner, the castle, subway and airport? They are also top notch!
Yes, they really very good
Great station so far. Makes me want to add a new stand into set 50050 my main train station in my city. I technically have set 7937 and the station from 2007 in my lego city undercover game. I love train stations in lego. Disappointed we dis not get a new main station set in the 2018 train line.
Yeah, stations are iconic!
It’s looking great and I love the ticket machine’s👍
Me too, they're great!
Im so glad im not working now im still up awake here in Maryland U.S. its 4:49 in the morning but who cares, we have an episode of robin hood bricks to watch. Yay-yay
Haha, late night LEGO!
Yep, this is great. To be honest, as you were making the newsagents I was underwhelmed as looked like a McDonald's, but the build as a whole really came together and I love it. If you decide to tile the platform, try to break it up with the odd floor pattern as otherwise I agree just grey tiling could be a waste of money
Yes it would definitely need some variety!
This is going to be a great station - love the inspiration you've drawn from the classic 90s station. That is one of my favorite sets that I've never owned :-D Love the red sliding door detail and the awning on the platform side is great too! The taxis was a nice tough as well! Really very good! Thanks for sharing this and keep up the great work :-)
Thanks, Jakob, for your continued support!
@@RobinHoodBricks It's my pleasure!
I think you should tile the platform as it continues with the modular aesthetic and also i love the turnstile
I think the majority are with you on the tiles but not on the turnstile!
Maybe you should put the ticket turner in your other stops
I'll ditch it, I think!
Your new railway station is coming along nicely if I do say so myself
Thanks, William!
I think when you tile the platform the whole station needs to be raised one plate. Otherwise the doorsteps will be one plate low. So maybe better to leave it like it is. Maybe you can lower the yellow grill pieces one plate so they will be level with the platform.
And I think you should add the turnthingiemabob and make the entrance to the shop from the platform a oneway doorway. (Or just say it is a oneway)
Thanks, Yorick!
a funny scene to add to your city would be an illegally parked car with a police officer giving the driver a ticket and the driver's expression is one of shock and arms raised in protest
That would be funny. I like it!
Station looks quite nice. My suggestion FWIW: no tiles. The studs add texture and provides ways to place minifigs.
Yes, I agree but... I am curious to trial it next time!
Very talented.
You're too kind!

Really smart stylings with this MOC/mashup, especially the 1x6 round column pieces. I do think the hanging baskets would look better hanging down. If you’ve got anymore of the black claw pieces that you’ve used for the handrails you could push that into the flower piece and then clip that to a short bar in the modified brick. Other than that it’s a really nice homage to the older train sets of the 80’s/90’s. 👍🏻👍🏻 (feedback regarding tiling the platform, I think you should leave it as studs. You often get tactile flooring for the blind or non slip so I don’t think it will stand out.
Hanging baskets are now gone. They didn't look right. I'll have more planters instead. Thank you so much!
I think they should be tiled. My suggestion to avoid plain surfaces is to make mosaics out of coloured tiles. I use that on my pavements in my city. A little 2x2 tile or something with 1x1s diagonally jutting out from each corner in a contrasting colour to the 2x2 is a good example, though you might want something bigger.
It definitely can't be one uniform colour. The only problem is what colours I actually have, especially for the 1x1s!
We are loving how the build is coming together!
Mark and I think the foyer should have tile but the platform should be untiled.
No turnstiles. (Although I think it would be a funny scene to have a turnstile jumper. 🤔)
Mark suggests a column in the rear opening to mirror the front.
I would suggest switching out the yellow flowers as they are getting lost in the build color.
Haha, a combined couple comment. I hadn't thought of the flower colour bring washed out. Hmmm!
You should ad smaller modern glass gates as an entry like many dutch train stations have
That is more common, yes!
So this build is interesting to me - in some ways it seems a bit simplistic, which also may be a good thing. I recently noted a train station build done by Bevins Bricks which is huge and ornate. But then you look at the style that Jang did with both his stations, and it's more in line with your style, Robin. I think the classic yellow works well (and the red shop windows offsets that well). I like the idea of having some kind of controlled gate thing but yeah, the open newsstand shop does complicate that a bit. That new sticker for the ticket machines is fantastic - i'm actually thinking of putting that sheet on my wanted list now too! As for tiling - I have mixed views. I like the look of a smooth tiled floor for sure but it might clash with the internal part of the station. tough to say!
An enclosed ornate station would be lovely but it'd take too much space and we'd not be able to see all the fun station scenes as easily!
@@RobinHoodBricks I agree. I think it's always a tradeoff between a fancy design vs. the play and fun / scenes. You do a good job with both aspects. :)
Glad to hear it. It's like my casino. It's very cool but most people haven't even seen it as it's enclosed!
Hi Robin, lovely station, but my mother (she started watching with me about half way the vid) asked if there will be some toilets in the building? btw I love the influence of all those different station sets! Never knew there where so many different yellow ones! Personally I would not include the turning entrances because they seem to be a bit 'heavy' and where I live these things are only used for the subway system. In train stations you can walk freely in and out, often even with a seperate entrance straight to the tracks.
I'm thinking of getting rid of the barrier I must say. No toilets. If I add them to every building we'd have nothing else!
That's right back in the Victorian era when the Great Western Railway was built a lot of the GWR was broad gauge another railway called the Furness railway was standard gauge and they keep these stations up instead of replacing them with modern stations because it's a nice piece of history
Just like real life Nottingham!
With regards to the turnstile, what happens in the station near my house (where they encountered a similar issue with the shop) is that they added the turnstile as normal, and then split the shop in half, to avoid people crossing over. Then again, in the UK, certain stations don't have them (e. g. York Station)
Ooh, I don't think I have side for that option!
If you wanted to add more newspapers to your stand, the sticker set from 76108 has 3x folded newspapers that fit onto 1x2 tile. I recently got 3 sets of 76108 and I've put all the newspaper stickers on 1x2 white tiles to fit into news stands throughout my city.
Yes, I know the ones. Thanks!
Nice! I hope it’ll turn out amazing
Thank you. I think you're right!
Looks great! I was expecting a big arrivals/departures board inside the station though...
I'm on it!
