Well this is Rather ironic when you consider what I commented on the beyer garratt video this morning...! Well done on 50, I really hope that you can grow even more this year with another 50 videos and beyond!
Very nice to see. I'm not very good at keeping track (no pun intended) of all the 3rd party options out there. The option to move the switching unit to either side of the point looks great. I'm expecting some 3D-printed R104 curves as part of my Brick Train Awards prize. I'll be sure to report back on how well they work!
I have 4 sets of these and they are very good product. They are injected molded and not 3-D printed. Only problem is sometimes the small rubber band in the switch will slip off but all you have to do is pop the back of the switch off and re-set it. BrickTracks is very customer service friendly as well.
How are you doing? I wanted to ask if there will be instructions posted on that 4-4-0 custom from the battery video? *The one I am talking about is the locomotive I recommended from the Riverside And Great Northern*
Now what I need to see is the BrickTracks "R104" products compared with TrixBrix's "R104" products.. need to determine which one is best for future projects!
I can say from experience, go BrickTracks. Trixbrix is a great manufacturer of track, but injection moulded pieces will always be better than 3D prints. The switch mechanism is much more sturdy than the Trixbrix option. Again, only because it’s injection moulded.
Just a quick question for you, I know that Alexander (as he is called on Flickr) makes all of the stickers for your models, but have you got any tips on how to make stickers for people who haven't got such brilliant friends...!
Trim line tape is really good for lining boilers and running boards. For letter I’d use fox transfers or any other model railway decal specialist. Cutting up old LEGO sticker sheets can also be handy.
@@Britishbricks once again, thanks so much for the reply and the ❤. Thanks for the advice as well, had heard of trim line tape before but never thought of transfers or lego sticker sheets, will be of help on my next model.
Very nice! 😁 I'm curious... can you connect ust the switching portion to a straight without the crossing part? I'm wanting to make some catch points, and this might be a good solution 🙂 Great vid as always, keep up the great work!
Why TF couldnt LEGO have just made these,i know that ,but they must fit into chidren broom cabinets ,but at that radius,not even the normal trains look very good
@@Britishbricks no, i just wanted ro mention it bc IF A INTIRE FANBASE PARTIALY REBRANDS ITSELF you know youve done something wrong(lego's Perspektive)
The Garratt should be fine on them, one of most articulated engines. I will try it out in a future video! FxBrick will be releasing metal version of these points soon, so I'll have them on the layout then.
Is there any difference between any of the R104 curves it comes with? The listing on their website made it seem like a couple of them were shaped slightly different for turning in or out from the switch
I've been super busy of late. I have a few new models, and am working on a temporary display module. Check my Flickr for more updates. Hope to post a new video as soon as I can!
I swear, Lego should just bite the bullet and get rid of that old, clunky CITY themed track and take a leaf out of the third party options. Sometimes some of my family asks for advice on Lego sets and pricing, I always tell them to buy the name brand as it’ll last longer, but depending on their age, I tell them to get the big creator sets of miscellaneous parts, but if somebody were to ask me what tracks they should use, it’d take a monumental effort to not tell them to buy from a third party.
They won't, not enough mass behind that and for children's rooms tight turns are great to keep things compact. I've recently bought some Aliexpress track, including r104 and r72, and have been pleasantly surprised so far: size and clutch are good, sturdy but flexible. Most are 100% flat which I can't say for some of my genuine Lego track, only the long r104 has a slight upward curve, same as my Lego curves.
Also this is my 50th video! Thank you all for inspiring me to keep on going 🎉🎈🎉
omg already!!
@@jemima737 who could believe it! Thanks for the support Jemima!!
Congrats!!!!
Pls build a motorised brakevan and a motorised truck and do a wich is best competition
Thank you for informing me,that these exist
Also
10MPH points (regular LEGO points)
HS points (the ones in the vid)
Well this is Rather ironic when you consider what I commented on the beyer garratt video this morning...!
Well done on 50, I really hope that you can grow even more this year with another 50 videos and beyond!
Let’s hope so, thanks mate!
It’s always a good day when you upload! The running looks great, I hope to see those switches in future running sessions.
I’m sure they’ll make an appearance!
Congrats on your 50th video man!!!!!!
Time to celebrate!
Yay!!!
CONGRATS FOR YOUR 50TH VIDEO!!!!! Also cool
Wow! That is one awesome product. I should get my hands on some of those points soon. Love your content! keep it up!
You definitely should! Thanks Matt!

The trixbrix ones are supposed to be good too, but these injection moulded ones... ooft! Thanks, Andrew!

would a drop of glue help with it? I'm considering buying some Lego-compatible tracks, thus asking
Can you build a LSWR 415 class from the year 1882 and NLR 75 class engines?

People who have RC LEGO trains get all of the good custom train tracks.
It's difficult to find any good custom train tracks for 9V LEGO trains.
FxTrack have some awesome products coming up, so don’t worry! Check their store out now to preorder the R72, R88 curves and the S8, and S32’s!
You should try to put circuit cubes in your E2
You should do the SP 4449 or the LBSC E2

Do they make custom 9v tracks as well?
You should make a LEGO red LMS Ivatt tank engine number 41241

Did you built the LMS coronation class locomotive??
I did a while ago, the dark red one!
Lol
I wish i could see it
@@Andrew-gv4bh you can, its on his Flickr.
Oh,thanks! I found it! It's absolutley gorgeous!
bb, WHERE IS NEW VID????
These tracks really are smooth, might have to buy some
If you use PF track, I definitely wouldn’t hesitate!
@@Britishbricks also, just noticed. But the new rolling stock looks great
Cool!
How cool is it?!
@@Britishbricks it's different in a way
Very nice! 😁
I'm curious... can you connect ust the switching portion to a straight without the crossing part?
I'm wanting to make some catch points, and this might be a good solution 🙂
Great vid as always, keep up the great work!
Thanks Kaylee! Don’t think so, there isn’t a connector in the middle.
Ooh, A lego catch point now that would be interesting.
EDIT:@Britishbricks oh that's a shame 😞
Why TF couldnt LEGO have just made these,i know that ,but they must fit into chidren broom cabinets ,but at that radius,not even the normal trains look very good
Not quite sure what you meant, but who cares I guess. Someone else made it, and they are to perfection! If LEGO won’t, you can be sure the AFOLs will!
@@Britishbricks yes,do you know that AFOL's REnamed themselves after the price hike,to AFOLB
Adult
Fan
Of
Lego
*Bricks*
@@N00N01 don’t blame them!
@@Britishbricks no, i just wanted ro mention it bc IF A INTIRE FANBASE PARTIALY REBRANDS ITSELF you know youve done something wrong(lego's Perspektive)
Great, now try the Garratt on them.
The Garratt should be fine on them, one of most articulated engines. I will try it out in a future video! FxBrick will be releasing metal version of these points soon, so I'll have them on the layout then.
@@Britishbricks Ok, cool! Also, out of all the models you've made, the Garratt is my favorite! I just wish I had the pieces to make my own Garratt!
Is there any difference between any of the R104 curves it comes with? The listing on their website made it seem like a couple of them were shaped slightly different for turning in or out from the switch
Yeah when's soon it's been 5 months and I really want to build that E2 tank engine please release instructions sooner
They are up if you haven't seen already, sorry about the delay :)
I assume they fit original Lego rails
Yep!
Make How to built MK 1 Passenger pls
Cuz there are only brakecoach
Very nice...but how much did it cost?
Read the description ^^
@@Britishbricks Ohh ops, sorry...
Will you make 7.5k subs special or will you wait for 10k?
I'll probably wait to do a 10k. Although, at the end of the year (10k or not) I'll do an updated MOC collection video.
I would really wanted to see a black 5 they’re such lookers in dark green not Henry
So More videos plzzzzzz!1!!!211!
First comment and vew:)
Thanks, James!
I beg of you, BritishBricks, what are you doing?
Working on a new engine perhaps?
I've been super busy of late. I have a few new models, and am working on a temporary display module. Check my Flickr for more updates. Hope to post a new video as soon as I can!
@@Britishbricks thats understandable
also i have another question; why scrap your a3? was it for the p2?
You should make LEGO Minecraft trains in block form.
Very interesting idea but probably not for me :)
Make tutorial of all your Train Car types plzz!!!1
why don't you try building your own lego moc big boy train because you are the best lego creator and stay at home safe
$44 one switch track thats too much money i build railway switch in thick cardboard
