Finally, the trolley problem is possible in egregious detail in LEGO
lol
It was always possible in standard Lego gauge
@@InventorZahranyeah, but not in egregious detail, that much detail is vital for the trolly problem
I think you may be confused about the definition of “egregious” lol
@@1birdwatcherr It can mean really good and really bad at the same time
Bro makes Emmet look like a 5 year old kid building a 1000-piece set
I mean Emmet was controlled by like an 8 year old, so I dunno… 😂
Mf is a master builder
My name is Emmett. 🤓
Doc Emmet Brown 😮😮😮
Who’s Emmet?
The little "guardrail" that is mentioned is actually called a Check Rail.
Radlenker
Civil engineer working in rail in California: we call it a guard rail mainly, there's a ton of regional variation in rail terms in my experience
But is the frog a frog?
erm actually 🤓
Check Rail and Guard Rail both are valid and depends where you are located.
Wow you are an absolute genius props to you for all your models and creations I strive to one day be as talented of a lego builder as you
.
*Skilled
Talent is inborn
Skill is developed
Bro is glazing so much
@@asherbook4399 this comment is a year old, it's not that serious
@@Kaithelegoguy nobody said it was serious?
LEGO really needs to invest in their narrow gauge track a bit if they are going to keep releasing trains for it.
There's a Polish producer of narrow gauge and standard gauge tracks compatible with Lego - TrixBrix. Why standard gauge too? You can buy switches of any complexity.
Nah. True masterbuilders overcome brick limitations by the power of imagination.
@@dreamoftranscendence4415 god forbid you dont have the pieces or a child doesnt understand how this works
I’m pretty sure they canned the whole system for rollercoaster tracks. Absolutely sure I’m not the first person to mention this but thought it would regardless.
@@residentflamingo115 those are pretty common little clip pieces. If you're building a custom railway, you'll proooobably have a few of those around from things. Or you/the child just make it differently.
I'm working at Spanish high speed train as engineer, and you got it, that's EXACTLY how it work IRL (saving the distances with precision and variations)
renfe?
@@hiro_lim Adif, it's the maintenance company
@@gonzalomartinez3109 cool, i just went to madrid and used the suburban railway. are you stationed in madrid?
woah, nice work!
I was about to say that!
@@paatyz7no i was
I just realized that I have a complete loop of this curve track in black! Making these narrow Guage videos a lot more useful!!
Yeah, unfortunately LEGO refuses to make a straight version of this track... but don't worry they have super steep slopes instead!
@@NonsenseWarscan we please have a tutorial on this ?😊
Now, this is actually awesome. I can't believe that you designed such a seamless and functional narrow gauge railway all from scratch.
That's really cool! At the end of this can you set it up into at least a simple layout so that we can see it all go together? With a train on it
Finaly! I CAN BUILD THE SKARLOEY RAILWAY
Would love to see it if you actually make a layout with this!
*happy Tallyflyn noises*
Super. On my two old school Lego train sets, you could use the straight track as narrow gauge or wide gauge, and I often built narrow gauge, (3,2,1,0 Lego nubs between the rails) single rail monorail trains, standard gauge, (4 nubs) and wide gauge (5, up to 10 nubs, or even wider for a heavy crane on the rails) locomotives, cranes, and train cars, but the curved rails only worked at 6 nubs, (L gauge) so my creations only had short straight runs. The Lego sets that I had allowed me to build a narrow gauge Plymouth B-B trucked center cab switching locomotive and a nice narrow gauge four wheel caboose (2 nubs) that stayed on display in my room for years, but my best was an EMD SD-7 High hood locomotive, with six wheel trucks with sideframes and handrails, in 8 nub gauge, in the CB&Q Burlington Route Blackbird scheme. Kept it about fifteen years until it got turned back into blocks. 💙 T.E.N.
Bro, I've been a train enthusiast my whole 32 years of life and this video is the first thing time I understood what the check rails were on switch junctions. Absolute eye-opener!
That’s incredible! I haven’t used my legos in over a year but I’m definitely gonna get back into it! Thanks! 🔥
I love that this also explains how real life designs work. I've always wondered purposes like these inner guard rails. Amazing how models are legitimately modeled after real life designs.
Thanks thomas and friends for understanding the different gauges of trains
such a great job 😍 the support part is absolutely beautiful ✨
I just recently started designing a shay locomotive in bricklink studio and it’s been quite the challenge (I hadn’t touched lego in years). I did do it on the standard gauge track so I could keep my sanity but I think I I’ve done pretty good. There’s very little left to do on the engine before I start on some cars
I learned something new about train tracks today thx
Woah, I can't believe I haven't seen this until now! Impressive stuff, especially with all real Lego
I was wondering how switches work just the other day and I feel like this explained it to me very clearly given I know the pieces involved. Cool.
Thats actually insanely sick
Now I finally understood why the check rails are there thank you
I love it when engineering goes into LEGO
That was a super cool way to explain how that works I have always been curious how it works thanks
Amazing alternative to the 3d printed track thank you👍
Very well done, the capture rail on the frog is nice
Excellent and so interesting. Thank you
I don’t have any legos but thank you Lego man for Lego knowledge
LEGO needs to give you a raise, even if you don't with for them. :)
Dude that is so cool i dont even care that much for lego trains but MAAAAN that is awesome
Props to Destiny fr here for being extremely logical, well-spoken and intelligent in this talk. Milkerino
i can’t even imagine how much work went into this
That is insane that you can build that sort of thing with tiles. So cool
I remember trying to do something like this to make a roller coaster because I didn't have any track pieces. man I love legos
With integration, you can make it perfectly curved
This is awesome!
Really impressive!
This is so freaking cool
This is brilliant! Good work mate
Mad underrated
Great engineering work 🥰😊
Amazing! That is really cool!
I never thought about this your genius
So THAT's why there are rails in the middle in switches IRL. I had no idea they were called guard rails
Bro created the Trolley Problem in Lego
Bro thank you so much
And just like that I finally understand how these tracks work lmao
wowwww, my younger self would have killed for this knowledge haha. I never had any actual train stuff but I always wished I did
Wow, that's very cool🎉
I now know more about switches than I have ever been able to Intuit in my lifetime of casual interest
this is so sick what
This was amazing man. I carefully explained and demonstrated this to my girlfriend and she... Let's say she gave me a good time, so thanks a lot man.
I honour his creativity, but still this is just how train tracks work. Basically THATS how they work. Without a guardrail, a switch wouldn’t work
That's actually the point of the build though: to replicate all the components of an actual switch.
bro turned a children's toy to a literal engineering lesson
I hope LEGO starts something official soon don’t get me wrong this engineering is incredible but something official would be awesome for people like myself who wouldn’t even know where to begin creating custom stuff
Genuinely awesome
Is this how they work irl?😮coool🤩
Very cool 👍
Bro plz do this type of videos
This is soooo cool
That's so mf crazy i love it so much
Yeah but how do I actually build the switch. I tried using a screenshot but I can't do it bc it's very unclear. Mabye a long form video on custom tracks sometime? And also mabye a parts list if you ever do this
This is entertaining
Lego time for you to make official narrow gauge parts.
Love it!
The guard rail would be called a check rail
Have you considered simplifying the whole assembly and building a stub switch? far fewer fussy moving parts.
Fantastic 😃
Old lego 'tube' bendable tracks: "Amateur"
Just passing here to remind that plates on clips are NOT ilegal If the clip in question is a modern one, so this is completly legal
THANK YOU.
"Speaks in lego."
:))
People are awesome!
Who else thinks this guy sounds like the lock picking lawyer
I wonder if you can use the same concept to make miniature rail trains in lego
The one TH-cam short that isn't Skibidi Toilet
And then there’s me who struggles to build my 30 piece Minecraft lego set 🤣
Holly smokes engenious mirroring !!!!
Bro reinvented the wheel
This would be good for staging so you don't have to spend money on switches that aren't seen
Wow thx 🤩👍🏻 🎈🐢😘👍🏻 now i know how they works...
Superb
Genius!
The wheels on stranded gauge engines like Thomas are too big and wide to fit on narrow gauge tracks
I saw legal building techniques but you still gotta do what you gotta do to do this
Bro plz upload full video
Bro:
-Using Lego's switch track, nah
-Remaking the whole thing using hundreds of tiny lego pieces, yah
*You have one message from Mr. Percival*
Cool af
Plz show multi track drifting
Not narrow gauge, but here you go: th-cam.com/video/yiYWtAmCMtU/w-d-xo.html
You teach me how the rail switch works, and i try to underatand it over 10 jears, and you so: 1Short 1min and i understand it.
That is the coolest and most overly engineered thing I've ever seen...
I uh, doubt that, somehow? 😅
Well of course i was exaggerating, i just think it's incredibly cool that he made such smooth curves with only plates on their sides, and a completely brick built switch that is so reliable!
I don't like that 3 seconds of awkward silence at the start
Brilliant
Can you make a parallel switch where the track is going past the switch, so it joins an existing track section
Genius
Okay now do a dual gauge switch
Ik im not crazy.. But did the brick train wheels on the right side of it go through that grey cut piece when it was going straight??The right side of the train should've went up when it collided with it...
Sir have you ever even heard about “Lego Train Tracks”?
well done. i would've been annoyned
