I think the line of studs along the platform aren't just for posing, but simulate raised bumps to let people with vision impairments know they are getting close to the track. We have them all over Japan and on the sidewalks. People can use a can to feel the way and know an intersection is coming up based on the type of bump patterns. (A little extra info... we also have bird chirps in the station near exits so these same people can use sound to navigate, and birds singing isn't annoying to other passengers as a chime or deep might be)
About the train: Lego trains are super sensitive to friction, particularly when they go around tight (i.e. non custom) Lego curves. Some possible fixes: Rebuild the 3 bogies using the 3x6 train wheel hub (preferably the original style with metal axles). Technic train wheels and axles have a lot of friction between the axle and the technical brick. The wheels aren't fixed in position axially along the axle so can get pushed together, creating friction between the wheel and the technic brick. They also have unremovable rubber reaction tyres, which are good for the motorised wheels as the grip the track better, but bad for unpowered wheels. Place the battery box directly over the powered bogie to increase the weight on the wheels Lastly, use fresh batteries! I've found that power function trains lose a lot of torque very quickly
I wonder how awesome it would look if you had a few of these sets to stretch the station a bit longer. This is definitely my favorite of the recent Bricklink Designer sets. Thanks for sharing!
That's a beautiful building!! The amount of detail is perfect and makes it look so real! It will be gorgeous in the city and it looks able to modify to serve the raised train as well!!
I’ve built this one, it’s very beautiful once finished, but it’s definitely not up to par with LEGO’s standards. The way the roof went together was very finnicky and frustrating and the train design is also very fragile, the roof of the trains pop off and where the yellow and black meet diagonally it’s not secure either…
The reason why the train is having issues is because it's wheels are held in place by technic axles rather than metal rods, this makes aligning them very difficult and creates a lot of rolling resistance - just try pushing the other non-motorized one by hand - it's not easy - so I plan to change the wheels also. I think this is the biggest flaw in the whole set, but not difficult to fix. It's nothing to do with weight, generally the trains need some weight to gain traction... Also, whilst I love the look of the set, once you've built it you realize that there could be more detail added - like a ticket room or waiting room etc, I plan to mod mine to add these, and of course a longer platform. And like another poster mentioned, the tracks only being 4 studs apart is problematic when you would normally expect 8 studs gap, but understand why the designer built it that way to have platforms either side, it looks more balanced.
I honestly just want the engines. I think they’d look so good back to back. Plus, they have defective PF-era couplers, which means they can be retrofitted with proper 9V-era couplers, which are not defective and always provide a solid coupling. Also, anybody else thinking 9V for these engines? They’d make a good intercity commuter train. Rockatoa, Brickticks out!
The station itself doesn't need any comments as it's amazing just seeing it from a far point of view. But seeing how the train was made, and the details weren't added as huge stickers but several slope pieces is really a positive point on this set. This train could be easily used as a subway train on your elevated lines.
That’s an amazing station. I think you’ll just have to redo your entire city to have two train lines side by side. Then this can be placed downtown as the main city station. I’m kidding! That would be insane and I like the use of the switch track to integrate it. Those engines scream 9v motor to me. It would be awesome to see those with custom cars rocketing around. Hopefully the kids take some naps so you have fun with the new station!
Hey Bricksie, someone may have mentioned this already but trixbrix have a switch track that is narrower that you could use to help take up less space, definitely worth a look, cheers
I think you should put it in the amusement park it would take up a lot of space but if you connect it to one of your other train tracks you’ll have two ways of getting into the amusement park
I think you should put the 2 trains from this set together and use it as a city tram. You could make a new line embedded in the road and have that train run on it.
Another way to go from two parallel tracks with 8 studs between them to 4 studs is to use a double 90-degree corner. Place a single flex track, acting as a straight that's only 4 studs long, before the inner corner. This will move the exit of the inner corner 4 studs closer to the outer one, resulting in a double line with only 4 studs between them after the corner.
I know it might be heresy, but take a look at third party tracks like trixbrix. They make switch tracks with varying gaps between the tracks, including a 4 gap set which I think would work great here. Really lets you keep the outside track footprint more compact.
its great to know that station is wheel chair accessible, but I havent heard you mention bathroom at all. I would think its also important for minifigs to be able relieve themselves 😂
Thank you for share my model. I tried to make a model that could be easily motorized. In fact, I made modifications when the program was being developed to be able to include it in instructions but that was not possible. You have done a very good job, best regards Pablo Sánchez (Bricky_Brick)
I would buy 2 sets and some extra pieces, put them on 4 x 32 studs mils plates. So it would have double the length and be deeper to accomodate more gap between the rails and between the platform and have room to build some extra waiting area on ground level. And connect your station to the main track and the park track.
Great looking set. Thanks for reviewing it. If you can get the amusement park train to fit in the station, I think linking your main city line on one side of the station and the amusement park on the other side would "link"the city to the park and add a bit mir telling. Keep up the good work
Really like the design of that train station super cool with its Gothic design, I think it would look best near town hall it's where it would make the most sense in a real town but I also know that there's not a lot of space there , but there is lots of space on the raised platform? Maybe
Hey bricksie, nice station! Looks awesome, maybe consider the 9volt system? I had this problem myself with de train mocs i made they couldn't pull the weight, then I switched to 9 volt and the problem was gone. I think 9volt is way better then the RC system in my opinion. But in your city it's an insane job switching to 9volt. Much love and respect for you and your family ❤
9volt is hands down way better tbh. You can do so much more for details and power than what the current rc ones can handle (plus no need to buy over 6+ as batteries and 4 AAA batteries)
Ooh Kool as we get two train caridge s with them. Rad I'm a build them asap 😊I'm happy about the train build in this set .I just print out the instruction for them 😊
I think the problems you hit with the track alignment, platform clearances, weight of the carriages and also the incredibly large size of the station show why the Bricklink Designer Program sets aren't always perfect. I think if it was a LEGO Ideas set the size would have been 32x48 and the track alignment would have been spot on. I seem to remember you had a problem with the connection roof of the bowling alley and the fairly empty interiors of the Venetian Houses? I also find the lack of anything on the platforms, coffee shop waiting rooms, toilets, disappointing. Looks like far too many bricks/much time and energy spent on the outside patios which aren't that realistic to my mind. More needed on the interior of the station, I seem to to remember a smaller Ideas program station that I feel is more realistic.
I find it interesting that instead of giving the handicap people a safe way to get over the tracks the set just has them play crossy roads to get across
Put the train station in the amusement park and also connect it to the ground line so that way people can get off the ground line from the city and can then walk over across the amusement park railroad to get to the amusement park.
If you make a siding and one live track for the train station you wouldn’t need two tracks to place in your city. It would be easier to place using one live track
Need more cages for the new train the yellow and black train but it just looks singled out with the new train Love to see custom passenger cages for the new Yellow and black train. I do love your train track in a nice circle and I love the switch tracks carnt wait to see this in the Lego table train parks. Lol from Kate last
I feel like if you were to keep your custom platform 9and3/4 you should put it on the inaccessible side and have a scene where they run into the wall in stud gate
Jordan, what would you think about shelving the amusement park for now and use that space for just the city? You can add back everything when you get a bigger space.
I'm curious how this 48x48 set would fit into a standard 32x32 modular building city grid. Would you put a 16x48 space in front to offset it back away from a city street and allow room for the train lines to go behind neighboring buildings?
I think it would be awesome if you built some additional carriages and motorised the trains from this station - to me they look like a metro type train, so would make sense to run on the ground line through the Lego City
I love this set. I thought that Studgate might be a play on Stuttgart, but it looks nothing like that station. Stuttgart translated means "Stud Garden", you know, for horses :)
Seems like a good customization would be to make it a single track coming through. You could make the platform larger, center the track beneath the chandelier, and give enough width for the Disney train (or a modified UCS Hogwarts Express) to fit. Excellent video as always, Jordan!
It's kinda weird to me that the designer of this set didn't think about the distance between those tracks. He really should have made it the same width as the train track switch. Anyways, the set looks nice, I love some of those details around the build. And I think the Power Up stuff are a little more powerful so I think the train would struggle a lot less
@@NMLE well, the front side, where the sidewalk is, feels kinda useless to me as you're not gonna put it next to other modulars anyways. The other solution would be just to build it on more 32 x 32 baseplates, but i guess it would be way too big
It's a lovley train station. Is it a build. Of a real life train station ?? in some cuntry or. Just a moc build. Not based on Anny real life station ..
I found. Jordan if the tracks are not tact down to stud plate the train not get Enuff grip on the track s an the weal s slip. Or wight on the weal s probly best to put the driver weal s on the frunt than at the back I'm not Lego train pro but thay are my thorts
I absolutely hate trains!!! I live right next to a train track and they blow their horn right next to my place. Its so cheap to live here but i need to move. Awesome set though lol

Even im Toronto,Canada we have them. Edmonton also has them on its LRT.
But they are just for posing as they are really far back from the platform, even by Japanese standards.
Yeah we got those too in Australia!
In Sweden too
The architecture in this model is amazing! Looks so beautiful.

This is so cool! I just recently discovered the adult Lego community and I'm blown away by this amazing builds
Halfway through building Studgate and what a set! It’s massive.
Dang this set is brilliant

Cant' wait to see the station in it place and the park all together !

Hey Bricksie, someone may have mentioned this already but trixbrix have a switch track that is narrower that you could use to help take up less space, definitely worth a look, cheers
I like the idea of expanding it so it services the main ground line, the amusement park line, and raised line all together.
I think you should put it in the amusement park it would take up a lot of space but if you connect it to one of your other train tracks you’ll have two ways of getting into the amusement park
It’s so nice to wake up and then automatically watch Bricksie

So cool that all that black ornamental pieces just scream wrought iron.
I love that wheelchair ramp...but doesn't seem very safe as it dives right down onto the tracks and an oncoming train.
its great to know that station is wheel chair accessible, but I havent heard you mention bathroom at all. I would think its also important for minifigs to be able relieve themselves 😂
A airstrip by the space observatory would be a great idea!
You could use a train in the station on the raised line

It really looks like a Lego set!
awesome video jordan the train stain looks amazing i cant wait to see it in the lego city
That is an awesome station, great review
I must say, it is nice to come to TH-cam and see you have a video everyday for us to see. Love your channel. ❤
This looks incredible!
Amazing placement and set!
What another really awesome bricklink designer set. Maybe how about having a another traon station stop for your city passengers
I find it interesting that instead of giving the handicap people a safe way to get over the tracks the set just has them play crossy roads to get across
Put the train station in the amusement park and also connect it to the ground line so that way people can get off the ground line from the city and can then walk over across the amusement park railroad to get to the amusement park.
Amazing set. Kinda glad I missed out on it given its massive size. Wouldn't of had space for it.
I did not bought this set, I am not a huge train fan. But yes, this one looks really nice!!
I hope you can get it integrated into the city because that is going to look wicked in there.
A cool building that comes with TWO TRAINS?....I wannit!!!
If you make a siding and one live track for the train station you wouldn’t need two tracks to place in your city. It would be easier to place using one live track
I built the Studgate station. The long part was the windows. I had dimples in my thumbs. worth it though
That train station can be the fantastic transportation station to Ninjago land.
Set score 7/10
use rubberbands on the wheels for extra grip
So cool. Sad it isn't a normal set. I would love to get it.
Yessss I’d been waiting for this one
This station would be perfect near you amusement park. A track for the disney train and the city train
Need more cages for the new train the yellow and black train but it just looks singled out with the new train Love to see custom passenger cages for the new Yellow and black train. I do love your train track in a nice circle and I love the switch tracks carnt wait to see this in the Lego table train parks. Lol from Kate last
Looks so good!
Looks like a lovely set if you have enough space for it. Will be an interesting addition to your coty
I feel like if you were to keep your custom platform 9and3/4 you should put it on the inaccessible side and have a scene where they run into the wall in stud gate
Jordan, what would you think about shelving the amusement park for now and use that space for just the city? You can add back everything when you get a bigger space.
I'm curious how this 48x48 set would fit into a standard 32x32 modular building city grid. Would you put a 16x48 space in front to offset it back away from a city street and allow room for the train lines to go behind neighboring buildings?

You can put some rubber bands on your wiels. This give more tracttion
I hope that you find a solution for the new train station! 😊
Yes!!! I’ve been waiting 😊
It sure has a lot of detail to it.
Use the flex track on the other side of the switch you will save 16 studs
I think the upper line should go down so they can get on the upper train and the lower train.
OMG IS THIS HAPPENING .................OMG I VOTED FOR THIS FK YEAH WHERE CAN I BUY SO EXCITED
I miss 12V they pulled like crazy.
I think it is a really cool set, kind of wish the train tracks were a bit more detailed
Awesome set, pity it's unattainable.
make it a dead end station central station
Wouldn't take much to raise the roof and fit in a monorail station?
I hate that I missed out on this one!!
I love this set. I thought that Studgate might be a play on Stuttgart, but it looks nothing like that station. Stuttgart translated means "Stud Garden", you know, for horses :)
What if you use power both cars and see how well it runs?
You should put it in the lego city we're the bottom train line connects with the upper so Syrians could go up or down
Can you un-MILS just the center where the tracks are? That then removes your gradient, which therefore allows the switches to be closer.
It wont need the gradient when it is placed in my MILS city
Ty for sharing.
Was a tough choise not to buy it.
Hey bricksie how can i buy this set?

Extra powered boggie.
It almost reminds me of steam punk type art work.
LEGOOOOS
can you still buy the set
It's a lovley train station. Is it a build. Of a real life train station ?? in some cuntry or. Just a moc build. Not based on Anny real life station ..

How much was that?
We’re I buy it
ill so integrate harry potter and his train in this
How much was it
I absolutely hate trains!!! I live right next to a train track and they blow their horn right next to my place. Its so cheap to live here but i need to move. Awesome set though lol
nice
pronounced Stood-gat
