First it was Bevin Bricks's Barn than it Was Bricksie's Warehouse and Finally Its Robin Hood Bricks Garage!!! the trifecta of upgrading lego rooms has finally occurred!!
I think a cave would fit better than a harbor under the staircase! Theres not much light which would make a harbor look cramped and shady but a for a cave/mine it would be perfect!
It's a very deep area for just underground cutaways being about five baseplates in depth. Besides I'll have a full cross section along the front side for caves. It may need lighting. The cabinet is massive and too heavy to move!
Interesting planning ahead Robin 🙂 For the low ceiling / staircase area I would like to see a mountain that the trains on the main level, the monorail on the raised level and the subway on the sub level runs through - Packed & Stacked. Perhaps even with a subway station build partly into the mountain. The actual staircase could then be painted grey or perhaps like a hill with green grass/moss, pink and purple heather, low branches of birch and perhaps even a stream.

Stairs: Table with the base of skyscraper (s) couple of floors - then turning into a facade touching the wall as you hit the underside of the stairs. Corner one and a few flat ones
Im sooo happy for you!!! Under the stairs I would do underground stuff, caves, miners and so on and paint the stairs wall in that color, so it seems its underground.

We’re super pumped to see the “Garage Reset” - a chance to start over and reimagine so many things. We’re strapping ourselves in for the next phase! ❤️🐝🐝
It will be really great to see larger train loops and storage. A single ended yard is probably the most compact way to store a bunch of trains, and if it's filled with freight wagons or passenger rakes it'll look amazing. Can't wait to see this project develop.
Ahhhh Robin this is soooo exciting!! Your current space is around what I have for my own city room, and seeing what you're going to have with the garage space is awesome! I look forward to MANY new creations, and a LOT of new Packed and Stacked designs for the new city!!
Yes, grab with both hands ! I just got approval from the Minister of War and Finance for a new table in the loft! My port now has room for two large ships and two freight tracks that are 6 cars long! Still has room for her art table and a spare bed! Gotta love the L gauge trains!
Looks amazing, very jealous, but very happy for you. I do have one suggestion. I would leave the garage doors in place, just take down the track hardware and then panel over the doors with a false wall,so that, in the future if you and Mrs Hood decide to “Escape to the Country”….as my favour show is called…..I believe your home would be more valuable with a double car garage, rather than, just a home with an extra room. Can’t wait to see the craziness you will get up to. Wonderful 😬🎉🎶😎🇨🇦
@@Smudgie33 ……I thought he said he was taking the doors out completely and then bricking up the holes. Given the lack of on street parking I’ve seen in most English cities and towns, I would think a double car. garage would add extra value to a property. Perhaps he has great off street parking anyway???
So happy for you robin! As you said, you didn’t expect this TH-cam thing to go on for so long but look what you’ve got now! As an on and off viewer since roughly your hospital moc, I’m really excited for this too. Bring on the new Lego room!
So much room! Not unlimired though so I'm sure you'll keep packing it tight! But this leaves room for a lot of different ideas, can't wait to see how you take advantage of the extra space and shape ^^
I feel like you could make that small under stair area a interesting train tunnel in a mountain facade or use it like a ship storage area of shipping crates maybe.
Only 90%??? 99.99999% of all trains I think. Interesting to see the plans and showing of perspective and space available in 2.0. It’s going to be awesome. Thanks for taking us on the journey with you.

🤩😍🤩 Wouw!!!! That looks fantastic!!! What a lot of extra space!!!! What a great idea of Mrs Hood!!! Enjoy the planning and construction!!! Looking forward to the next video!!!
Maybe the under stairs area could be the mountain/ ice area on the left and the mine on the right? Maybe for a staging option you can find a rolling cart with a top and bottom rack that would fit under the tables. Then you could put it on the bottom when moving it under tables and have a work space on top once into a standing area. Or maybe the stair area could be used as a sky mounting area. Maybe glass or plexiglass shelves if there are heavier air things. Maybe once you have it ready place empty tables in there and get a rough idea on if some terrain height variance will be needed so it doesnt look completely flat. Maybe a train tunnel near an outside wall? The castle will help a lot with the hill area it has. Do you plan to reconfigure some of the areas? I imagine the farm and airport at least will stay butted against a wall. Harbor will probably be best along the outer edge like it is now as it has more low level stuff. Maybe some of the facades can be built onto raised ground to give the illusion of hills and give a bit more visibility to them when viewed from the end of the city.
That low roof space should be where you put the mining caves and the rock monsters. You could run a rock face up into the ceiling and act like it’s part of the cave. Then you could have cutaways to view the scenes in it from the new viewing angle.

I can’t wait for the new Brick Nottingham!!!! The garage is actually such a good idea, I can’t wait to see it all come to life. A few questions…. 1: Will you “finish” Brick Nottingham 1.0 before you start 2.0? 2: When will we start moving LEGO into the new room 3: I guess 368 baseplates! My city is a LOT smaller and has around 100.
I mean it was hinted before ... either in a undersea carbinat episode or last q&a with miss hood ... but more importent, i think he have a different kind of humor ...
There's no way I would spend ages clearing out my garage for a cheap joke, haha. Anyway, no-one falls for April Fools jokes as they are usually too obvious. Bad timing for a genuine announcement I guess!
444 baseplates! You might consider some channels cut into the layout that you can walk down (or round the edge), instead of needing to crawl under the tables to a hole. Every corridor you make loses some surface city level of course, but it will add realms of "underground/undersea" areas on the vertical sides!
Brilliant; much bigger then I first thought. Your current room also looks bigger with all the lego then it is. So now you have room for more trains, a second monorail, the loopcoaster and an increased castle-scene! And filled is the room :P
Congratulations on your new space! I am Very excited to see what you have in store for the new Brick Nottingham and can't wait till I have my Own garage to play in too 😁
You'll need to leave some room to open the door to the water heater, or you'll need to move the door to the side of that cabinet. Instead of reflooring the garage, you can also use adjustable table legs. Not sure if a new floor or new table legs are going to be cheaper, but when you'll eventually turn the garage back into a garage, not having to remove that new floor is going to save you a lot of headaches.
A few thoughts; It might be nice to see some videos of the building progress, just so that we can come on that journey with you. Also, those stains... How about a mountain, with train tunnels running through it. It could camouflage that corner and give the illusion that the room is square. With regards to the doors, I appreciate this will cost a bit more, but you could change them for roller doors, with would allow them to still open, giving you access to the other side of the new wall. Might be useful if ever you get a problem with damp. Lastly, since this is a blank canvas, how about building in a number of small discrete webcams throughout your city, so that we can get a minifig's eye view of things? Anyway, I'll shut up now! So pleased for you and super excited to watch the next 5 years of your wonderful videos!
you could see if that area where the stairs is housed in is make it more sloped than squared as it its now. Most stairs dont need much room below them.
Definitely an exciting new space for future endeavours and projects. So much potential for expanding Brick Nottingham and fitting in all your addictions.... The weird space underneath the staircase could definitely have a mountain or something in it (maybe it could have a secret base on top of it for Doctor Inferno or the SSP or even a place for Brick Derby to spy on you! There are exciting times ahead for you and us! Really looking forward to it. Good luck with the build, and I'm looking forward to the next update.
@@RobinHoodBricks Absolutely no problem there. Your vidoes make me happy and I live my Lego city dreams vicariously through you. And I’m very excited for Brick Nottingham 2.0
Fantastic! My imagination is soaring! I can't wait to see this room being filled! Under the stairs, I would love to see a mine entrance. I also request a slightly larger farm, with many more tractors and/or farm equipment!
Friggin awesome Robin, I'll be sitting back enjoying the ride. So much space and potential and can't wait to discover what your mind has in store, luck with all the construction ahead!
Hey robin, this looks very promising and exciting! Just having the opportunity to start again with all that you’ve learned has to be very exciting. I wonder if that weird little overhang in the corner could somehow become a cutaway inside of a mountain or something. Miners and monsters and buzz saw bulldozers!
Thanks. It's a very deep area for just underground cutaways being about five baseplates in depth. Besides I'll have a full cross section along the front side for caves!
With that much space, you could easily justify a little quiet remote village or medevil townscape with a distant train station as well, something to maybe make one of the high speed rail lines really put in the distance going in and out of the city limits.
I should hope that before you move it, you’ll give us all one last tour of the old city, the day before it moves. Other than that, I think that’s all. I should ask though, will you be including a mining district in the new city, and if so, will it have a narrow gauge rail line to service it? I hope so, working with narrow gauge Lego trains is so much fun, the challenge of trying to line up the temple of doom curved and incline rails with traditional straight rail-and-plate tracks is good brain exercise. And like I said, if you change your mind, I’ve got 18 steam, 3 diesel, and two electric narrow gauge locomotives if you should find yourself in need of them. Rockatoa, Brickticks out! Congrats dude, congrats.
Incline rails won't work with powered trains, right? I guess rollercoaster track is as good for a push train scene like under the new Gringotts Bank set!
@@RobinHoodBricks True, but then again no Narrow Gauge train motors exist, now do they? Plus, Roller Coaster track seldom makes for good steam locomotives.
Have to say - what a splendid space and thanks for sharing further details. Now super clear to see how it’s a significantly more impactful space and there’s loads of opportunities. Looking forward to seeing what might be possible. You made such good use of the previous space - especially with the multi-levelled shops, marina, beach, boardwalk area. Are you perhaps planning initially to lift and shift it all as best you can, and then develop it further? Or is this a new start? The train layout will be interesting to see how you link everything together. Good luck and we look forward to it all!
just a suggestion when setting up the tables in the new room: maybe you could include a lower level (underground?) from the start that would allow you to include other interesting locations (sewers, larger than just the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles hideout, more subways, hidden lairs and deep caves...).
If the garage is 19x21ft in area, while a 32x32 baseplate is 10"x10", that would calculate to almost 48 whole baseplates that could fit (purely by maths, not accounting for any space taken up for filming equipment, standing space, baseplates having rigid dimensions, etc).
wow congrats Robin! not only will you be constructing more in your city, you will have real construction done on the house!! good luck on the endeavor! I am looking forward to seeing you fill all that space. Your creativity is second to none!!! good luck on the journey!
This is going to be epic! Do you have an idea of how long the refurbishing will take? I hope you will keep posting updates of the progress. I would find that interesting, but maybe that's just me, ha ha😊
It's a very deep area for just underground cutaways being about five baseplates in depth. Besides I'll have a full cross section along the front side for caves!
Sounds great, Rob. I've always fancied train tracks in more than one level, with tunnels where they disappear and reappear. Kind of like you currently have with your underground line, but where the trains change level. This does of course take up more room, but if you wanted to, I'm sure, you could figure out a way to make it work 😃 Can't wait to follow the development of this new city 👍 All the best 😊
I'll have the subway and monorail on different levels but having the passenger and cargo lines at different heights will be tricky. To have them passing over one another would be almost impossible in a dense city I reckon!
Have you considered leaving the garage doors… remove the upper parts of the tracks… build a wall just behind the doors to close off the area. This way the bricked up garage doors don’t look bad from the outside! Resale value on the house stays good! (As you can easily remove the wall and reinstall garage door tracks!) just a thought!
I know that it is your garage but I wonder if the juice is worth the squeeze in renovation. I know I would enjoy watching your videos if you only painted the walls blue and nothing else. I love watching your city grow both in size and complexity. The joy is from the creative problem solving and designing solutions.
Quick Math says, outgoing from the green Area and hopefully correct 6m measured with the imperial Equipment Roughly between 384 - 480 32x32 Baseplates, Space of not specified Standing Holes included and Depending if you build 4 or 5m into the Room. Slightly more if you cut the last ones below the Staircase. Question answered dear Robin?
Yay this room looks much bigger than the 1.0! 😃With more trains what more could you want? 😁Have a check at TrixBrix as they might have some good train sidings for this new area. 🤔Yes it’s not Lego - I too hate fake Lego - but they make what Lego used to make and with extra rails and cleverness. You will keep the undersea cabinet where it is - yes? Great video and everything I thought about the room is happening! 👍 JJ F
I’m very excited to see the new city in it! Are you going to completely rebuild the city or are u going to build around it? I’m guessing 368 baseplates!
Are you going to be crawling on the concrete to get to standing holes? your poor knees! I think the cave under stairs is a Great idea! So excited when this gets started!
:3 more train tracks... maybe a 2nd smaller trainstation on the side of the town and a proper goods depot for trains ... new fazades, perhaps mountains... and more than enough space for mine, underground and caves, ... one side with a forest (at least to a border of the wall) ... aww so many possibilities ... nearly double space means content for at least 3 new years ... One of the first episodes i saw was the yellow trainsation ... as you rotate the map in the gerage, it would be nearly in the center... or did i have Bricknottingham in a wrong view? In the future you nead to sell maps and postcards if you town grows so much larger ^^' Don't know if my nonsen above makes sense, but i am excite. Happy to see your town grow. PS I was worried as you mention your floor isn't leveled you will come up with different sizes of cans for each table leg xD
Great video! I think it is approximately 350 baseplATES. And will you have sea and beach , harbour etc. in front of the standing strip in BN 2.0? And will you build some forest and mountain area in BN 2.0?
First it was Bevin Bricks's Barn
than it Was Bricksie's Warehouse
and Finally Its Robin Hood Bricks Garage!!!
the trifecta of upgrading lego rooms has finally occurred!!
Dunkster bricks moved to a garage too
Haha, proof we're all addicted!
I think a cave would fit better than a harbor under the staircase! Theres not much light which would make a harbor look cramped and shady but a for a cave/mine it would be perfect!
yes!!!!!!!!
.
Not sure of size but, would the under the sea cabinet fit there? It has its own lights.
@@MrPolleyr True! I forgot about that
It's a very deep area for just underground cutaways being about five baseplates in depth. Besides I'll have a full cross section along the front side for caves. It may need lighting.
The cabinet is massive and too heavy to move!
Interesting planning ahead Robin 🙂

That is prime space in that garage for an epic, packed, and stacked city! So happy for you and Mrs. Hood😊.
It's gonna be so much easier to access as well. That's what I'm looking forward to!
The train potential is huge! And you can make the cargo train even longer!!! It’s a win win!
These were my very first thoughts!
It's a Frieght train,
@@TrainsForNSWVlogs Actually since he is British I believe it would be a goods train.
@@White-Wolf1969 ahh yes in Australia we call them Frieght or goods. Though goods is normally used by older people
Stairs:
Table with the base of skyscraper (s) couple of floors - then turning into a facade touching the wall as you hit the underside of the stairs. Corner one and a few flat ones
That's a cool idea, It would allow for some truly massive towers but not have them blocking major sight lines.
I thought of that too but it's a very deep area for just one concept being about five baseplates in depth. I could do an entire harbour in there!
For the low ceiling / staircase area ; Make a mountain out of it with a cave where there are monsters
Well I do have a lot of monsters!
Im sooo happy for you!!! Under the stairs I would do underground stuff, caves, miners and so on and paint the stairs wall in that color, so it seems its underground.
Yeah, miners and rock monsters, stalagmites and -tites.
Or a subway construction

My immediate thought for the weird niche is to do the mining cave area.
A popular idea!
Who knew that a video of an empty garage could be so exciting!
Haha, not me. I thought it might bomb!
I was watching this video with my headphones on, while my wife was wondering "What are you watching?!?"
You should get some wide radius curves from trix bricks, to make it so your long train doesn’t derail!
I may be ahead of you on that one!
I am excited to watch Brick Nottingham 2.0 grow!
Me too. It's gonna be epic!
We’re super pumped to see the “Garage Reset” - a chance to start over and reimagine so many things. We’re strapping ourselves in for the next phase! ❤️🐝🐝

My trains are all so long I thought I'd have sidings in the station so it doubles as a yard!
I’d love to see a train yard/cargo area and more train-focused areas in the new layout. Super excited!
A key thing for me is all trains out at once. Five passenger plus cargo. Well at least four plus cargo!
I'm so excited to see what you do with the new space for the Lego city 😁 👍🏼
Me too. I'll have to get planning!
Ahhhh Robin this is soooo exciting!! Your current space is around what I have for my own city room, and seeing what you're going to have with the garage space is awesome! I look forward to MANY new creations, and a LOT of new Packed and Stacked designs for the new city!!
It's gonna be a long while until we're packed and stacked again. That's for sure!
Yes, grab with both hands
! I just got approval from the Minister of War and Finance for a new table in the loft! My port now has room for two large ships and two freight tracks that are 6 cars long!
Still has room for her art table and a spare bed!
Gotta love the L gauge trains!
Congratulations. Glad your submission was approved, haha!
Yeah - I got a good one 🥰
You're going to need a standing hole by the fuse boxes so you can still access them.
Or some sort of broom handle setup, haha!
That space under the stairs has to be used a mine, or a place where the minifigs are mining their own channel tunnel through to Brick Paris.
Mais oui, bien sûr!
Looks amazing, very jealous, but very happy for you.

Can't wait. Toot toooot!
That overhang could be used as a train yard to store trains and wagons
Good idea. I thought I could just store them in the station as my "excess" trains are largely passenger ones!
I feel like you could make that small under stair area a interesting train tunnel in a mountain facade or use it like a ship storage area of shipping crates maybe.
These are all good ideas. A plain old farm is another low rise area!
That spot under the stairs would be an interesting spot for a mine
Very much so!
How nice. Mrs Hood approves this. Well done!
She's one in a million!
Only 90%??? 99.99999% of all trains I think. Interesting to see the plans and showing of perspective and space available in 2.0. It’s going to be awesome. Thanks for taking us on the journey with you.

Thanks so much. Yes, lots of planning required. Measure twice, cut once so-to-speak!
@@RobinHoodBricks Indeed, indeed! And mind the gap between the baseplates when you connect them... A mm ends up in cm-ers over a long distance 😉
The place under the stairs could be a parking garage for the vehicles that are too big to fit on the roads
We've all got a few of those!
Add some shelves under the stairs or storage for your bricks.

Thanks. It's a very deep area for just underground cutaways being about five baseplates in depth. Besides I'll have a full cross section along the front side for caves!
With that much space, you could easily justify a little quiet remote village or medevil townscape with a distant train station as well, something to maybe make one of the high speed rail lines really put in the distance going in and out of the city limits.
I love this idea but it just uses so much space for countryside that could be a mega metropolis!
I should hope that before you move it, you’ll give us all one last tour of the old city, the day before it moves.
Other than that, I think that’s all. I should ask though, will you be including a mining district in the new city, and if so, will it have a narrow gauge rail line to service it? I hope so, working with narrow gauge Lego trains is so much fun, the challenge of trying to line up the temple of doom curved and incline rails with traditional straight rail-and-plate tracks is good brain exercise.
And like I said, if you change your mind, I’ve got 18 steam, 3 diesel, and two electric narrow gauge locomotives if you should find yourself in need of them.
Rockatoa, Brickticks out! Congrats dude, congrats.
Incline rails won't work with powered trains, right? I guess rollercoaster track is as good for a push train scene like under the new Gringotts Bank set!
@@RobinHoodBricks True, but then again no Narrow Gauge train motors exist, now do they? Plus, Roller Coaster track seldom makes for good steam locomotives.
Have to say - what a splendid space and thanks for sharing further details. Now super clear to see how it’s a significantly more impactful space and there’s loads of opportunities.
Looking forward to seeing what might be possible. You made such good use of the previous space - especially with the multi-levelled shops, marina, beach, boardwalk area. Are you perhaps planning initially to lift and shift it all as best you can, and then develop it further? Or is this a new start? The train layout will be interesting to see how you link everything together.
Good luck and we look forward to it all!
Some sections I will lift and expand I think. Other districts may move around. I have no real idea yet!
just a suggestion when setting up the tables in the new room: maybe you could include a lower level (underground?) from the start that would allow you to include other interesting locations (sewers, larger than just the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles hideout, more subways, hidden lairs and deep caves...).
Yes I want to use as much of the front vertical cross section as possible!
Exactly 6 by 6 meters convert to roughly 23 by 23 baseplates which results in 529 baseplates (standing holes not excluded). Can't wait to see it. :)
And viewing space, hot water cupboard, stairs cutaway, doors in, haha!
If the garage is 19x21ft in area, while a 32x32 baseplate is 10"x10", that would calculate to almost 48 whole baseplates that could fit (purely by maths, not accounting for any space taken up for filming equipment, standing space, baseplates having rigid dimensions, etc).
I made a severe miscalculation. 574 is the actual number! (Rounded down, although one more 16x32 baseplate could fit!)
Yeah but that would need no stairs, no viewing area and no cylinder cupboard. Too high therefore, haha!
Oh boy, (almost) double the space!
Best wishes from RaBeJo City (which, for lack of space, is only 8 baseplates), looking forward to all of this.
I bet it's fabulous though. Thanks!
Under the stairs has surely got to be the land of cavemen V Cyclops under a mountain in land that time forgot style.
Oooh with dinosaurs? Lovely!
wow congrats Robin! not only will you be constructing more in your city, you will have real construction done on the house!! good luck on the endeavor! I am looking forward to seeing you fill all that space. Your creativity is second to none!!! good luck on the journey!
Thank you so much. It'll be a fun journey for us all!
Great job glad to see you have got a new room
Me too!
This is going to be epic! Do you have an idea of how long the refurbishing will take? I hope you will keep posting updates of the progress. I would find that interesting, but maybe that's just me, ha ha😊
Not sure yet but I'll continue to post updates!
the portion under the stairs could be the interior of a mountain with the mine that you had spoken about a long time ago
It's a very deep area for just underground cutaways being about five baseplates in depth. Besides I'll have a full cross section along the front side for caves!
Thanks Mrs Hood!
Yes, thank you!
Sounds great, Rob. I've always fancied train tracks in more than one level, with tunnels where they disappear and reappear. Kind of like you currently have with your underground line, but where the trains change level. This does of course take up more room, but if you wanted to, I'm sure, you could figure out a way to make it work 😃 Can't wait to follow the development of this new city 👍 All the best 😊
I'll have the subway and monorail on different levels but having the passenger and cargo lines at different heights will be tricky. To have them passing over one another would be almost impossible in a dense city I reckon!
Have you considered leaving the garage doors… remove the upper parts of the tracks… build a wall just behind the doors to close off the area. This way the bricked up garage doors don’t look bad from the outside! Resale value on the house stays good! (As you can easily remove the wall and reinstall garage door tracks!) just a thought!
Just heard you say the doors were staying just mounted as permanent! Cool!
That's almost what we did but we maximised space by making it not easily reversible. You'd not know from the outside though!
Power miners go under the stairs! It's perfect for a cave style build
Rock Monster tastic!
You could make that part go to the ceiling!
A mountain!
I know that it is your garage but I wonder if the juice is worth the squeeze in renovation. I know I would enjoy watching your videos if you only painted the walls blue and nothing else.
I love watching your city grow both in size and complexity. The joy is from the creative problem solving and designing solutions.
Well I'll be more creative in a comfortable dedicated space. Besides we can use it as a games room after LEGO... one day!
Wow, that's going to be great, I'm excited to see what your city will be like. Be sure to have space envy 😊😊😊
I would be jealous if it wasn't mine!
Maybe it would be a good idea to leave a walkway in the middle like in train layouts so as to reach everywhere
The final dimensions will dictate the standing space. Everywhere needs to be reachable!
Very exciting, thanks to Mrs Hood for the idea. Glad the unit of measure eventually went to baseplates. How many more studs will that be?😂
Millions!
4:41 Remove stairs add ladder
Quick Math says, outgoing from the green Area and hopefully correct 6m measured with the imperial Equipment Roughly between 384 - 480 32x32 Baseplates, Space of not specified Standing Holes included and Depending if you build 4 or 5m into the Room. Slightly more if you cut the last ones below the Staircase. Question answered dear Robin?
Exciting update. love the space and looking forward to see all the trains. My base plate count is 395 plus some half plates
Yes, trains will be an early priority but liberating enough tables will be difficult. Maybe a floor setup at the beginning?!
Longer trains, finally
Yes, much better!
thats a big room
Yeah it's a little scary!
A raised train track along with the tram line would be awesome, are you planning on adding more levels
Levels yes, flying train tracks, no. The tram will do the elevated element. I do hope for a viaduct though. That's kinda similar!
It wasn’t an April Fool’s joke. Fantastic news for your city
It's such an elaborate hoax that I'm keeping it going!
The overhang...of an office block/mall? Kragle lego to the outside???
It could be coated in LEGO, yes!
Best of luck with the move
Much appreciated!
Yay this room looks much bigger than the 1.0! 😃With more trains what more could you want? 😁Have a check at TrixBrix as they might have some good train sidings for this new area. 🤔Yes it’s not Lego - I too hate fake Lego - but they make what Lego used to make and with extra rails and cleverness.
You will keep the undersea cabinet where it is - yes?
Great video and everything I thought about the room is happening! 👍
JJ F
Yeah the cabinet will stay. It's crazy heavy. Spoiler: I may have a bit of sponsorship incoming from TrixBrix!
Great as in lockdown (now too) I played with them lots and super fun, Lego need to go back and make more trains!
Oh no, I've reached the age of shed envy!
Haha. Hopefully your hair won't start falling out for a while yet!
Man...
This gonna be amazing. 😯
Yup indeedy!
But imagine how big your LEGO room could be if you didn't put a wall up to replace the roller doors.... Train carts all the way down the street!!!
A garden train line anyone?!
Woo! I’m so excited!
Me too!
I’m very excited to see the new city in it! Are you going to completely rebuild the city or are u going to build around it? I’m guessing 368 baseplates!
A bit of both. I think I'll modify everything a little at least!
Every thing for just a Lego city 🙂
It's over the top but you only live once!
Can't wait for brick Nottingham 2.0
Woop woop!
@RobinHoodBricks will there be a final overview of the current city if the layout changes in the new one
Cool 👍, looking forward to the new world building
I can't wait!
Are you going to be crawling on the concrete to get to standing holes? your poor knees!
I think the cave under stairs is a Great idea! So excited when this gets started!
I'll put in carpeting I think!
I guess there's lots of decisions to make about how much to expand each area by.
A million decisions to make!
Car can live outside - Lego needs space. Great solution!
So true!
Dang, this is going to be huge! My guess is 383!
Not a bad guess at all!
:3 more train tracks... maybe a 2nd smaller trainstation on the side of the town and a proper goods depot for trains ... new fazades, perhaps mountains... and more than enough space for mine, underground and caves, ... one side with a forest (at least to a border of the wall) ... aww so many possibilities ... nearly double space means content for at least 3 new years ...
One of the first episodes i saw was the yellow trainsation ... as you rotate the map in the gerage, it would be nearly in the center... or did i have Bricknottingham in a wrong view?
In the future you nead to sell maps and postcards if you town grows so much larger ^^'
Don't know if my nonsen above makes sense, but i am excite. Happy to see your town grow.
PS I was worried as you mention your floor isn't leveled you will come up with different sizes of cans for each table leg xD
Great video! I think it is approximately 350 baseplATES.
And will you have sea and beach , harbour etc. in front of the standing strip in BN 2.0?
And will you build some forest and mountain area in BN 2.0?
Not sure but probably. Forest and mountain are less likely as I'm going for a fully built up metropolis!
@@RobinHoodBrickstowers on and in between or inside mountains...
The Robin Hood minifig seems to have temporarily assumed the persona of Workman Hood, with tools to match. 😀
I prefer working with small plastic bricks!
