Building & Installing Raised Train Track! LEGO City Update
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ธ.ค. 2022
- In this LEGO city update, I start building the raised train track! In order to do so I have to go pick up a huge amount of pieces from some local Bricklink sellers. The raised train track is proving to be a challenge to install in the LEGO city but I should hopefully be able to get it all done over the next couple of days... but today was a great start!

You should rebuild that train station to accommodate the raised track, meaning the track wouldn't have to curve around it but could instead go through the station and straight on.
And he can add a train stop to it so it serves a purpose
So the minifies can switch between the the ground and rased train line
The twins warm my heart every time I see them.
I wonder if they / them have decided what pronouns to identify as yet 🤷🏻
For the under table scene if u remove all the trains
Something u could build down there is a desert scene, possibly incorporate any Star Wars sets like the mos eisly cantina, any western style sets, maybe add some yellow LEDs in to simulate that heat
It would contrast well with the underwater scene beneath the other part of the table
Going through the second story of the ground line train station (next to university) would eliminate a lot of curves. It would also allow passengers to switch train lines.
I love the new raised train track as I do like motion in the city. Also I think having seasonal change out scenes on the table is a great idea. Keep Brickin.
The city has evolved so much and I love it! Keep up the good work
You could take out the sag on that curve by having a support on the sidewalk either side of it with a long plate section between them running under the curve and connecting to the track with one of the 2x2 spinning plates to support the track in the centre on whatever angle it happens to be at. Should be pretty easy.
The twins have become my new favorite part of these vids lol
Hey, love the ideas for the changeable table scenes! Some Star Wars, someone else said Wild West, maybe even part of the Medieval scene which could blind perfectly with the under table scene when not on the cubicles. Also, a WWII scene might look cool or even part of an airport. I’ve also seen people say this and I agree: if the raised track goes through the current station, there would be a place to transfer lines and the station would be more visible due to the current low height.
Twins look so cute 🥰. Make an interchangeable scenes for you Ikea and do a scene for each holiday? That was ya got it covered...
the babies are getting so big. cute baby smiles.
The train line progress looks great Jordan! Those of us who have raised children (especially having raised twins like me) can totally relate to your struggles and conflict between work and home life! You’re doin’ great! Cheers from San Francisco!🍷
I love seeing all the track around the city!! Beautiful 🥰
I love those baby smiles
You should have one of your Spider-Man mini figs stuck to the front of the elevated train like in Spider-Man 2 - that could be fun
LOOKS AMAZING!!
You should use the monorail train that's under the city for the raised train tracks
i agree
I think if you tired of the raised track with 2x4 in the middle and 1x4 on the sides, both long way so the 2x4 are side by side in pars of 2, it would look sleek as the track doesn’t have the same gravel base because it is raised and it would give it a bit more support by sandwiching the track connections. Additionally, you twins are clearly growing, I’m sure you’re proud of them already. God Bless!
P.S. Yes, this is my second comment.
Great work man! The city is awesome. It would be nice to see your little helper.
I love the way the raised track is looking so far! It adds a nice detail and realism. It gives me New York vibes which I like. Can't wait for when the raised track is done and hope you, José and the twins have a good day.
Awesome video
Those twins are gorgeous.❤
So cute their arms were locked together ♥️
Looks fantastic!
Amazing! Your city is getting better and better!! Maybe an elevated trainstation, hope lego comes with a nice station set. But with this amount of track you need a big trainstation! Love the zoo as well!! Your building technique is getting more and more like a lego designer! Keep it up!
You could take the snow off and melt the ice and turn it into a spring village then summer and fall and winter again! Don’t move the winter village!
Take out the raised trains and keep all the views of your buildings as your main focus
Rather than get rid of the winter village for Hoth - instead after Christmas you should just have a Empire Vs Rebellion battle going on IN the winter village
Suggestion: build a small wooden platform with tall legs that can be used anywhere in the city so if you are working in any area, it can sit ON the city with the legs in the roads, allowing you a quick surface to move buildings out of the way. If that makes sense.
Too funny - I literally just made myself a Davids Tea Cold 911 and sat down to watch this, hope everyone feels better soon.
Happy holidays bricksie
Love your videos and your city progress updates are a highlight of the day for me. Been watching for a while now and you always make some great choices for your city. Just a suggestion for your raised train track, which look great, but the part of your raised track that makes the S bend by the custom train station. Just a thought, you could always have that go over the train station and incorporate a way for the figs to unload/load to the raised track through the train station.
This is looking amazing can't wait to see the whol railway finished
great work!!!!! love the raised train track!!!!!
It looks great
You could build a mini version of the cement walls under the track infront of the platform and you could build a venetian style train station that servers both the ground line and the raised lines. Please like so Bricksie can see this.
the raised train looks great.
Perfect time for logistics. How many elevated stations are you going to have? I recommend putting one up against the cliff wall and have a stairway and elevator going from top to bottom with a station in-between. And maybe just maybe have the "JOKER" dancing on the stairway!
seasonal displays is a great idea! plus, any video with the twins in them is always great! 💞💞💞
Hope you get well soon
in the tighter corners, could you create support spans, similar to freeway flyovers where a single column would interfere with traffic? traffic signals and signage could also be placed on the support spans so they could be doubly useful
For a while I was questioning whether the raised line would take away from the city, but now that you have it up and I can see how it looks, its so cool! Great vid! thanks Jordan!
you should do a cool layered underground build under an area of the table, maybe make the ocean dimensional, adding a shark or too to eat the minifigs ;)
awesome video jordan the raised train track is looking amazing great job
2:48 meanwhile you have a whole LEGO city in your basement 😂
I love your Lego city!!😊 keep it up man ❤😊
For the trains that are raised above a road plate put it on an arch that touches the edges of the road. This way you don’t have a random piller in the way when someone drives.
Bricksie saying the baby’s are spoilt
Then bricksie’s basement:
If possible, you should put the turn table piece on the top of the support, so that way the support can square up with the road and not be twisted as it is now.
I love the rotating scene idea!
I like your creativity and your creations!!! Keep it up!
The raised track looks good. It might be good to test the curve in the middle of the city in different places
Awesome update!!!
Really good and nice job man
You might consider having the track run over and turn above the existing train station, where it can be a multi-level train station, connecting the 2 lines.
10:50 put the turntable at the top so you can have the support straight.
Your channel is amazing, you put so much time and effort in to your videos, and I really respect that. Your channel inspired me to start building again, and I have started my own lego city its pretty small but I like it. Its amazing to see how complex and big your city is. Keep posting the amazing videos, and I hope the twins get better!!!!!!
You could put a median of flowers or bushes in between the trusses on the road.
Please do a rotating medieval scene! That would look so good.
tbh. i would use one of the city trams for this one. the full train looks a bit big.
Oh I love what I’m seeing, Jordan! Sure reminds me of real life! Really adds more detail to it! Nice!!!👍🏼
I love all the curves with the raised track it adds so much life to the city.
Awesome!!! Trains.... Also have you checked out the 2023 Lego Friends sets. Some really cool sets to add to the city. Camper, Boba Tea cart, Several City builds. And all the New Mini Dolls are awesome.
15:26 you can an arch support crossing over the street, like a tunnel entrance but only 2 studs long
i'm afraid that 1 pillar in the center is too flimsy (it will roll left and right much) and the train will fall down. I'd put 2 at the outside of the track so that's more stable. If the track flex in the middle while the train pass put 1 more in the center of the track but if you cover the center with tiles it should old perfectly even without the center pillar. Love to see the City evolving, great job!
plus the underground section would be awesome to do a sewer and metropolitan train like scene
In New York City the outer boroughs have elevated train tracks with two support structures on either side of the street.
Great video!!
The Babies are beautiful!
Hey Bricksie liking the rased track maybe the tower supports around the road areas should span the road not be in the middle then you could support the long runs between the towers... glad you are feeling better
If you have to reinforce that elevated curve with an additional stanchion perhaps you can hang some traffic lights 🚦 underneath
Sorry I don't like the raised track it's too intrusive in the city, it's too big in my opinion. The monorail would be smaller but have the same impact.
I'd run the track next to the weird turn by the colorful post holding up the house. That post and the whole "alley" can be like a "dirty" part of the city/back alley.The many colors of lego pieces on the post remind me of graffiti. Maybe some graffiti tags on the side of a building. Jus my 2 cents.
The rotating scenes is one of my favorite ideas from the newest city iteration.
Your voice sounds better, and happy smiling babies must mean they are doing better also.
looking great - the raised train scares me , just worried the train is going to fall off, but thats my issue lol . hope you are feeling better
Nice
For the sagging track near city hall, consider running a beam across the road with 2 supports on the sidewalks. I’ve seen similar construction used with the Skytrain train lines in Vancouver (elevated LRT train line for the most part).
How about making the raised track an end to end line instead of a complete circuit. Small station at the start and end it at the Zoo. I think they would fit.
great update :) you got awesome lego city :)
Looks great next to the fountain by the park entrance would be a great use of that half baseplate to put a station for the raised train line 👍
How wide is your display table and the underground table?
Might let you work on your Castle Theme, in sections.
Do suggest you buy some Creator Viking Ships and some more Creator Castle sets, so you can combine it with your Ideas Castle and create a town near the sea, with a harbour, that's under viking attack.
Might even let you add in some of your Creator Castles as Town-Wall-Defence-Structures.
Put a ForrestMen Hidout in both the Castle Theme and your Camping Ground.
Maybe another tree build like the Treehouse one, if without the treehouse add-ons, for the Castle Theme.
As for your raised railway track, put the turn-plate on top of the pillar, that way the street edge will still look correct, turn the pillar around, so the V shape is looking right with the track above it.
As for a support pillar, how about a up-side-down U pillar?
Might also let you put the stopsigns of the road crossing, on it, for one.
And you could even go for two such U's, looking from above, as a L, so both parts of the road-crossing(s), are supported.
Edit:
Put some rounding on two ends of the lower section of the pillars, so the cars are less likely to ram it and thus wreck the pillars, that way.
Might even make the walkway ones look better, with three such curved lower sections.
And if the lower section of the Pillars are in grey, you can even say it's concrete on the lower section.
For your supports, have you thought about putting a beam so that the ones that are in the middle of the road will be supported from the sidewalk?
Instead of the snake curve, what about just a 90 degree left curve passing on top of the garage? That could be modified in a train station
Just came back from Legoland Windsor. Got myself the awesome Bowser set! ^o^
Before you move all the white snow after Christmas you should make a hoth build
I don't like the newer road plates , but your set up is so cool.
I just got the modular Sanctum, actually looking forward to its arrival
Would recommend just making the long curve just go ontop of a building or through it.
9:29 Why dont you modifie that train station a bit and have the train track go on top of it, so you have lesser bendy shapes all over the place, Would be a nice project.
Star Wars Mocs would be nice for that table and underneath the city
Why not have a medieval castle where the ninjago house is, to the right of the zoo? It is not unusual for a big city to have a history from far back in time :)
cool video man
With the line you could have a switch track on the top and then connect it with the bottom line with another switch track
I think a train that could blend good in the raised train track is probably a subway train like in New York 2000s or in Gotham from Batman Begins
Raised train means you can now recreate Spiderman 2...need more webbing though!
You should make the train station multi story now the raised train line runs right next to the station ❤
You should try finishing the canal but love the work
very nice idea
If I lived near you I would help you out for free! The raised tracks are super cool, I'm definitely going to have to add some to my city now
I think taking the raised train line through the middle of a building would be an interesting look.
