This is much more complicated than the straight tracks! Thanks for the tutorial Daryl!
This is exactly how I ballast mine. I look forward to the pin video because I have not figured that out. There’s not many videos out there that show you how to pin the track.
Thank you for the really informative video...
Thank you now I know how I can make my curves.
This is awesome content. There’s a lot of aspiring Lego enthusiasts on TH-cam who would definitely find value in this, including me. I don’t even have train tracks but love to learn for when I do.
Thanks for showing us two ways to do turns. Need to get some grey pieces now so I can tile my railroad.
Wow two great options. Definitely like the second option better. Thanks for sharing buddy.
Thank you for showing more than one option. Excellent video once again!
You make so cool videos!
I like you Town... it’s so COOL!
Hello Daryl! I really enjoy this type of videos/tutorials, I've made something more simple for my train layout, direct from track to tile on curves, and plates directly to track on straights. A little cheaper but the end result is very satisfatory, the main goal was to fix the tracks to baseplates, so, looking forward to the video where you show how to pin them! Thank you
Hey Daryl!!! Thank you for this new tutorial, that's really help me out!! Thank you!!😁😁
Looks great and I really appreciate you doing these videos.
Looking forward to the second part!
For the first ballast, you show how you assemble it, but then your completed example is assembled differently. It looks like the larger angled plates you are using for the finished example are the mirrored (54383) to the ones you use in the building example (54384). Around 3:54, you can see both in frame, and the studs don't line up the same.
I just ran into the problem. I assembled my railroad track right now, but it's not working. I'm build what Bevin told me to build, but if I can't the 1x1 tiles. 😱
They are or were cheapest from lego PAB
Thanks for sharing these tips.
Great video Daryl! Both techniques look really good, very informative. Definitely will have to start stocking up on plates.
Fantastic video! I would like to do this someday to my small city. Can't wait for the next video about pinning the track. Thanks!
Daryl...you magnificent ballaster!
Plates and plate modifieds were on one way it the first part and reversed direction when the tiles were placed one. Didn't noticed until I came back to the video because my 1x4 and didn't match up to the studs on the outside of the rails.
Yes I screwed up, but I also recommend to everyone that wants to do this to download the free instructions from penn lugs website
Thanks so much, you are so talented builder.
I love this video!! You know I am interested in expanding then train tracks in my little LEGO City. So, this is a timely and very interesting video. Thanks fir taking the time to make it!!!
Loved the video. I didn’t realize it was so part intensive. However it does look good. Looking forward to understand how to attach it to base plates. 😅
So helpful and so daunting considering I plan to make a giant track layout!
Thanks for sharing! I’m learning so much and you explain the techniques really well!
Thank you! I will be using this technique on my own layout!
Dont forget to look at all the amazing guides from penn lug. All free

What happened to the first posting of this video? I happened to be on my phone when you posted it, I clicked right away and gave it a 👍right away. After the video was over I noticed there was no thumbnail image in my queue and that the video was "private".
Another great video. May have to look to adding a train.
Thanks for sharing this is a great info video. 👍👍
Great video.
But better is to buy a ballast-plate R120 to R40. You only have to add dark brown, black or white sleepers.....
I thought I’d open some train sets, needed some tips from the man! 🤘🤘
It looks much better than the original rail.
Thanks for the tip
Exactly what I was looking! Thanks for this! Redoing my entire city because my trains were becoming to intrusive as the city grew. I was wondering how I’d manage the curves…
Glad I could help :)
Thanks I just got my first train.
no wonder the color goe's from the pab wall all the time the brown tiles went very fast on the walls
I have just make them thnx for it
Your welcome
Ahh so many extra parts. I guess it good I don't have room for a train track loop lol
Am I mistaking or did you change the plates on the inner curve of the track so that the 1x2 brown tiles could match the 1x4?
Yes I caught that too figured it out
Sneaky rebuild at 9:08
Came to the comments for this ;-)
Hi Daryl. Can you make a tutorial for track part 53404, please? Greetings from Finland :)
Hey, can we get how to ballast track switch?
There is a mistake in this video that is never pointed out. When you go through second one and have it complete without the tile then try to tile it, it will not work correctly. the creator fixes the issue before putting the 1x1 tiles on.
Well, maybe I'm a bit late to the game, but how do you ballast a R24 curve? I can't find ballast plates for that or other videos about it.
Go to penn lug website, l-gauge.org/wiki/index.php/Reference_Instructions
What is the grey track color called on the lego website? "Medium stone grey"? I don't want to buy a whole lot of ballast parts and it be he wrong color!
@@BevinsBricksWorld thank you!
Fun fact: lego only makes 1 curved track piece. It is the R40 track which stands for “radius 40 studs”. All other curved track are not official lego pieces. To get a larger radius, Lego wants you to use the flex track.
Hey man how's the clean up going ?
@@BevinsBricksWorld great 👍
Hey man, what is the best way to dust your builds or keep them dust free??
You read my comment
What colour brown do you use for tile? Medium nougat?
My tracks I'm using reddish brown
looks like too many sleepers for realism
Maybe, this is ctually a build standard that was started by penn lug. There are a lot of other ways to do it as well. Some even use 1x2 and 2x4 tiles for the sleepers also.
@@BevinsBricksWorld It may be a standard, but have a look at a real railway line and you will see they are spaced further apart.
I tried the second method with the wedge plates. How can I attach that variant to a baseplate?
I personally don't attach my curves except at the ends. I just tile underneath them. But with any method you can attach with a lot of trial and error.
As of now my curved tracks are only attached at the ends but this causes the tracks to bend a little on the outer ridge halfways. Don't you have that issue? I will try to find a solution and will let you know what worked for me :)
Sometimes yes it does bend up but it's so slight its not noticeable. I have a image of all the pin locations that can be made for attaching tracks that I'll post on community tabs.
Ok… you have reversed the build … but what have you done to line the 4x1 tiles with the 1x1 tiles???
Yeah I made a blip while filming and I reversed so they would line up.
