LEGO Train Bridge, Canal Connected, Angles, & A BIG WIN!

- In this LEGO city update, I work on the connection between the water in the ocean to the canal. To do that I had to create a boardwalk plate and train bridge with archways underneath. After taking care of that I come up with a way to connect the city boardwalk with the beach boardwalk using LEGO angles. Plus... A BIG WIN!

Love the canal meeting the ocean. Have you considered making the bridge arch wider for the road, train and canal?
Sorry to say, that small canal addition dispels alot of the magic here. It needs to be as wide as the canal. And the height suggest it usn't actually used at al, - too low for boats. Go the whole hog and create a beautiful bridge
most canal openings are no where near the width of the canal. heaps around where I am. and the opening is just to keep fresh tide coming in. its often just wide pipes. what he has here is pretty realistic
for me too many roads, but im from europe. we walk a lot, our cities have zones for walking only, with caffees, restaurants, space for sitting and so on. your city would look also better with a bit less roads. but its yours, so do as you like, just an opinion :)
5 arches side by side for bridge supports would look pretty good I think, then you can have water flowing through them all.
Looking great, what an amazing process to be a part of 😊
That angled work already looks awesome. Honestly remember watching you back when I everything used to look a bit more blocky! The city is definitely in a new era and it's looking amazing.
I'd definitely agree with most of the other comments that the bridge could do with being a *bit* bigger. But honestly, I can imagine it's pretty hard to work with trains. Maybe two arches and a brick higher might make it look better without too much work? Obviously it might be worth focusing on something else for now!
The city is already looking incredible. Would love to see more photos of it over time. Maybe over on Instagram?
Appreciate the effort on the daily content, thank you!
Would you ever consider making the canal wider? I always like a water feature!
Exact comment I was going to say. Going from the "Ocean" down to six studs wide then back to a full base plate wide in the city, looks very un-natural to me and just weird. To me the canal under then road and trains should be same width of whatever width the canal in city will be. Looks like small almost dried out creek this way.
No
@@morganshelby5804 its not going to be a full baseplate he already said that
Nar the conal are wide Enuff yo
It really should, because it doesn't make sense how the canal becomes so much wider, from 6 wide to 32 wides
I would like to see that arch at 5:20 be either double-wide or replaced by something brickbuilt, same with the arch under the roadway. with it causing that much of a change (raised road and raised train) I wish it were a larger focal point instead of something as subtle as it seems to me.
Keep up the great work! I only have 3 suggestions/thoughts:
1. I think the arches should be bigger/higher or wider, so we can see the tunnel where the water flows
2. I think the beach should be expanded, since definately there is space for it. Don't be lazy (ahahaha, I know you aren't :) ).
3. I like the white tiles in the road curves... :( But I think I can live with those not existing... :P
Keep up the great work! I really enjoy your videos and what you are making with the city!
On that 1 and 1/2 baseplates, at the corner, you could add a small fish market with boats unloading the fish. Might require the end of the boardwalk to be moved further down, but would create a good story and add some variation to that small spot.
For the boardwalk if the angles don't matter the easiest system is 3/4/5 studs. Short side 3, long side 4, angled side 5 studs. Super easy to do and remember. Also no gaps like you have with the hinge bricks.
I would make a pier coming off of the boardwalk like most us cities. A pier would be cool because it could have the ferris wheel and other stuff to entertain the guests
I was thinking this as well. The ferris wheel is a bit cramped right now.
I was thinking the same thing. In The Netherlands we have a huge pier with a Ferris wheel at Scheveningen.
I guess it would take away from the amount of space you have for the boatyard, but I think you should expand the beach by make it longer, like twice as long. There would be more space for the minifigs to play volleyball, build sandcastles, etc.
I think for the city canal you should go for an Amsterdam/Venice style and for the underground I think you should go for a london theme. I found a style that can make it a nice curved white using the gold bars in white
Agree the bridge to the canel is just tiny almost like a sewer drain. You should do three archs or something with a bit more substance.
From a distance the Azul bike path looks like water and then it really would give a Venice vibe 😂
The end of board walk should have pedestrian bridge to go over train and allow access to city center. Then food trucks could be there on roadways. Keep on having Lego fun.
I think a crossing would be better than a bridge. bridge is too bulky
I know you are planning on a subway system of some sort underneath but it would be really cool if the whole front of the table was one big lego mountain from the floor to the water covering the legs. You could open caves or holes to reveal parts of the subway, have all sorts of climbers and rescue people on the mountain too!
Things are looking great, and I certainly don't want the critical, but i'm thinking that Canal needs to be more "grandiose". At least have the culvert the same size as the road overpass. It's a cool point of interest in the City that could use some more detail and focus. Of course, part constraints are always an issue.
I would add more sand! Lots of fun potential for storytelling and expanding the beach area. It’s a little small for the whole large city! Keep up the great work I’m excited to see how you conquer elevation in the city! Awesome
I was watching other people's LEGO cities and I must say your city is very, very detailed. I have forgotten how much detail you put into your city.
In a perfect world the table would be lower where the water/canal is, that would solve the problem of having to raise everything up. Would also make more sense, as it is now(i know it isnt finished) some rain would flood the entire city(i know it not everything has to be realistic)
I think the best solution for the canal is to raise all the downtown area a few brick. That way all the buildings and streets are above the water level, and the roads and train tracks would cross easily the canal without having any awkward ups and downs. It would also allow the canal to flow in a more fluid way to the sea, with a larger estuary. But I understand that this would be a huge task, and would consume an incredible amount of parts
What do you think of moving the Ferris wheel to the right a baseplate and out to match the long boardwalk? It gives you more beachline, unblocks the last mini modular and gives you more space behind the Ferris wheel
Great job 👏🏽👏🏽👍🏽 yes add more Beach! And push the Ferris wheel 🎡 out towards the water 🌊
The Edmonton Oilers havent won the cup since 1990 and in 1984 was the first with Gretsky and Messier heading the team . Toronto Maple Leafs my home team not much better but the fans in Canada are dedicated to hope , its what the world needs more of . Great job on the city Bricksie
for angle on grid use a ratio of 3:4 studs for the points on the grid. For example an ablge that side are 15 suds deep and 20 studs wide.
also, It seems you can not make the tracks rise to allow beach goets to the beach. I say look into added walking bridges or change were the trains enter the train yard.
That arch looks so bad. Like an entrance to the sewage LOL
make it at least 3 times wider
You could extend the beach on the side, creating a cove between the current beach and the lighthouse
Some small boats right off the beach would probably look good. Miami Beach vibes. Love the new studio
So it looks great, love the new city set up. I do have one idea though for the board walk. You talked about not sure how mini figs would get there. An option would be to make the bridges for cars & train alittle bigger, maybe big enough for a tiny boat to go underneath & then run a pathway on either side of the waterway connecting straight to the downtown core. Just an idea, keep up the good work, love your videos!!
Base Blue is table + one plate. Also base water level. Masive project. Build for end game right now.
Don't focus on details too much.
Get bigger important mocs/structures created first. Big wins first. detail later whenever you want ;-)
Quick thought maybe add small waves off of the beach with people surfing instead of extending the sand make the water have more life! Love the work keep it up!!
8:30 It’s High Tide, 😉 Let your mini-figs wind-surf, kayak, and do other sports there!
Is it just me or is it that the canal seems abit small 😂
Well, not the canal itself, but the part going under the railroad and such, for sure very small.
The arch is definitely small for the width of the canal behind it.
The water should be much higher and gushing
yes definitely wouldn't allow enough water through if it was real
Yeah, its scale is way off, I think the roads are too big as well, but I get the sidewalk and bike path so I can dig it…but the bridges and the water are all to small. Make it a feature not an afterthought that needs a blue gap
YES 🎉 I've been waiting for the bridge. Looking good 🎉🎉🎉
Consider widening the arch 3 studs each side. The footbridge and the Waterway joining the ocean will look more natural. And it can easily be done. And you wouldn't even need to widen the road bridge because with the train tracks and any Greenery you put in, you can give the illusion that the water is exiting from a larger area under the bridge than it actually is.
The train station would work and look much better if the left track had a switch track going left directly onto the main track, and the right track had a switch track going right directly into the main track. It would make a Y shape coming out of the station. 😊
If you add rock to the one corner of the table where the water ends, maybe you could put a featurette statue on it, in the same sort of style as the Little Mermaid statue in Copenhagen harbor. Not huge like the Statue of Liberty, just modest and in keeping with the watery surroundings.
You should add a fence between the road and the train tracks. Loving the content, so far this city's looking sick can't wait to see it progress over time
16:47 this needs to be a new thing - watch hockey with Jordan - would definitely watch this
Love the progress!! Great things take time. The nice thing about Lego, you can build, take apart, and rebuild again!!
that canal is driving me up the wall. id suggest leveling it back out as with the railway and making the top a concrete culvert with the water way potentially the width of the base plate using columns, (using the mills plate design) along the water front to support the boardwalk and the train bridge. you then would have the flexibility to make canal wider on the other sider. this pad can also act as a board walk access point from downtown as well as your train crossing point.
6:05 on the bridge you can use some decoration like some statues
Everything is looking good, one thing i think would improve the city is using the same arch size of the road over the canal for the train and boardwalk
Wishing Jose all the best in her healing journey. Thoughts & prayers go out to you
Some kind of baseball park on the water or a concert venue would be dope. Or something like Red Rocks in the mountains.
Hi there, I think making use of your raised platforms from old layout and make a long under water scene right along the waterfront of your new layout would look awesome and give the tables great look from the front, then you can utilise the big under water scene you made in the basement 😊 💜
@bricksie - Jordan, first-time poster, long-time watcher... Really like what you are doing with the new city. That said one improvement I think you should consider is moving the Kwik-E-Mart. It doesn't seem right in the residential block... maybe across the street next to the train station, but really I think it would look good over behind the beach (across from the Zoo) somewhere? Keep up the good work looking forward to seeing how you make the mountains...
Hi Bricksie, you are doing a wonderful job on the upgrade of the city, however you need to make sure you keep your Work/Family schedule balanced and don't burn yourself our by completing major upgrades each video. We all know it takes time to build Lego and we don't need to see a completed area each day. Keep Brickin.
The canal River up under the bridge should be wide just like the rest of it it do look a little bit smaller than the river it's all be the same size 👊💛💯
beautiful, compliment!!!!
You knew the Oilers couldn’t get swept! Can they win 3 more games is the only question. One game at a time B, just like building the city, one brick at a time. You got this, eff the Panthers!!
I was laughing when you were removing the white lines on the corner roads because in real life I need those white lines to help me safely turn.
Great video. I think that the city’s and the ocean is looking grea
I love the idea of the canal. I’m wondering if you could add more arched to the bridges to keep the canal width and have more interesting looking bridges design
Dude, rip it apart! I can definitely see 8 more would be good. It allows more space for figs., and more concessions. Luke a taco cart, beer stand, hotdogs, slushies! I mean i think it would benefit the beach
Bricksie you look tired, get some sleep! Lego City looking great.
You often mention not having enough time for building, but remember - We aren't here to watch you just rush through but rather to be part of the building process. Keep up the amazing work! It's looking amazing
Just a thought, you could move your big wheel in place of the angled walk so that it makes the board walk interesting and that leaves you more space to add sand or beach or something else
Lets Go Panthers!
Ok the corner you should have a rocky shoreline, but you could also add a light house.
Hi Bricksie.
Sooo good to see Jose, and the twins in this video! Brilliant that the Oilers won this game too. Yay!
The City is coming along beautifully. I think your viaduct for the canal was very well built, despite some people wanting a bridge etc. The logistics of elevation at that particular point would be enormous, plus the train would need a clear run to build up enough steam to get up an incline. So many aspects to consider.
Always remember it's your City and you get to call the shots!
Go oilers
Swapping the location of the canal with the train track would create a more dynamic interesting route for the eye/viewer to follow the train and also eliminate the humdrum emptiness of train tracks going around the edge of the city. A canal going down the edge of the right sight side with all kinds of city people enjoying the day on and around the water would be awesome.
Ya need a fishing pier.
At around 15:00 we see just how much real estate there still is on that LEGO city table. And I would love not to have to sleep either. 🙂
I'm having issues with angles and similar things as I design my grand castle MOC. I'm inspired heavily by the Lion Knights Castle, and using similar techniques, but I would love for a master builder on TH-cam to put out a solid video about LEGO math and angles, as well as SNOT techniques and brick height:width ratios.
I cringed when you used the box cutter to remove the road tiles. I love how the train and boardwalk bridges turned out, though. 🙂
Single-stud round tiles would look good on the bridge railings too. No surprise if you're running out of those too. 🤣
The city looks so much more put together I’m loving the new downtown
While I do like the Canal idea, I think your canal "overpasses" look too small. Living in Kttawa with a canal going through it, the scale of your water flow looks more like a culvert in scale than it does a canal entrance. Would be cool if you made it big enough for a mini fight size kayak / canoe to gravel through at least. A Lego duck could barely fit through there.
Looks great...but would not the water run from the mountains in the center of the table and outward to the edges? And out underneath the boardwalk. And, as such, require a larger outlet than 6-wide...perhaps 12-16?
I think that was he whole corner for the boardwalk could be used. Another spot to put like vendors or performers and such, but I also don’t know your whole vision but I think that would be cool.
That angled boardwalk is looking really great! Definitely adds a bit of flare to the front of the city. The idea with the 1 and a half baseplate scene on the end of the boardwalk is also a great one; I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with it.
Day 54 of daily watch streak :)
I'd move the ferris wheel to the edge of the table and make a pier going to the beach buildings. That way you could have the current boardwalk could go straight on to meet the pier without the need to put a curve in it.
If you want more beach an island sandbar might be the way to go
Imo doubling the width of the canal would look so cool!
I would move the whole beach half a baseplate forward that would also make your angle easier
Gotta Tell ya man, Was cheering on the OILERS for ya. What a game!
go Oilers go!
You could just move thr beach half a baseplate forward, then have more beach a bit further behind the buildings, maybe add a vollyball court behing
Boardwalk looks amazing! Man, if only i had a third of your creativity and resources!
I kinda miss the old bricksie lego city before this byt still pretty amazing like your cant wait to see how it would look when the lego city gets filled with creativity .awesome.
3x4x5, 5x12x13 are the easiest Pythagorian triangles to work with
I just made the same but separate comment. I thought everyone knew this.
Would love to see you extend the Ferris wheel pier further into the ocean so it’s above more of the water.
I like what you’ve done with the canal meeting the beach and the bridges for car & train, but have you ever thought of making a real feature out of the bridge, maybe Venice style , perhaps a future project, keep up the great work loving watch you create this massive city !
Forget the lane dividers, a far bigger esthetic issue is the turn radiuses not looking right for the corner road plates ( far too acute ). In this respect, Lego road plates look better + more realistic, imo. I am wondering, wouldn't it have been perhaps easier -- and certainly cheaper -- to use Lego road plates for the roads, and build up the sidewalks to half MILS-height or so, for rigidity-sake, leaving just enough space to run wires underneath?
The hard part with Lego is it doesn't handle curves well on a smaller scale. Makes it difficult to make non pixelated curves. With the entire city being MILS using the old bases is impractical without putting something under it to raise it up to the right height which could be tricky.
I have a suggestion: the residential area has sidewalks on the inside of the road that make sense. They also have sidewalks on the outside of the road, which doesn’t make sense. People from the neighborhood wouldn’t cross the street just to go on a walk. I think the corners are too square as well, which takes away from the overall appeal. This could be improved with grass, trees, and flowers instead of that gray sidewalk.
Great episode. Have enjoyed all your content. Just one comment on the canal, that you go from a full base base wide to such a narrow canal under the road and train. Seems odd to me. But if that's the look your after then so be it.
Keep up the great content
Bricksie, in my opinion you should raise the whole city 3-4 blocks higher, thanks to this the water channel you are designing will be very natural, almost like in Venice
Howdy Jordan , some fishermen would be nice on the baseplate n half on the corner 😎😎😎
I think there is way more to do with the water than adding more sand to the beach. You could put parasailing boats, you could put Jet Ski's, you could add a nice Pier, lots of things and plus it just will look better not having such a straight edge to that entire side of the city like a narrow area of water for the whole thing.
There are two different arches used for the boardwalk walls. Have you thought about making those the same?
Wow your city is looking amazing and lv watching ypu and your family grow up.
Also I thought for end of the pier you need something for the people to look at the end as why is there a pier? You could add something unusual like a alien spaceship or shipwreck etc. Could have a film crew there filming a movie? Remember have fun got all the time in the world xxxxx
Amo ver tus videos aunque entienda poco. Saludos desde Argentina 🇦🇷
I am also redoing my lego city, your videos are inspiring
In the UK we have amusement arcades near the beach, so you could do something like that, or a surf club? Or perhaps some shops with a beechy theme to them.
Hope Mrs. Bricksie's recovery is going well!
A jetty for the old fishing store world be cool
Why not make a brigde that can actually open? In that case bigger ships can also roam the canal! It would also be great to build some dunes between the beach and the road with some grass vegetation!
Jordan you need to get a SpiderCam when the city is finished! Amazing project man!
Not sure if this will help your math on building at an angle or not but i had seen a video where someone was using jumpers and the math of pythagorean triangles. You just had to add a stud for the corners. So instead of a 3-4-5 triangle its actually a 5-6-7 triangle and then the studs should line up. Probably makes more sense in video form than this comment but hopefully it helps point you in the right direction at least 🤷♂️😅
The LEGO city is really coming along, yes to more beach, no to the Oilers - I am in Florida after all 😁
