Just a suggestion that the train station would look good outside the zoo and beach. Then the double track woulf feed directly to the train yard. Feel like it would make more sence being there
@@Zyxhci in Oceania, yeah. But a nice chunk of countries (including North America) celebrate it today (3rd Sunday of June). It's different everywhere.
Professional city planner here. Love your channel! I am collecting sets for my daughter and I to build our own (much smaller) city when she is older. For your suburban area, I recommend building a grassy tree covered berm between the edge of your suburban area and train tracks. This would buffer the visual and noise impact of trains and other incompatible land uses from the sensitive residential uses. Berms are commonly used in new developments. P.S. your mountains are awesome.
Along the canal where you want to raise the buildings, you could put a path split level between the building and water so it's like a nice walking area along the wall, separate from the buildings with a couple of sets of stairs leading into it.
I think it would be awesome to remove the sidewalk next to the train track and continue the parking on that side so you can have a bunch of vehicles parked downtown and very visible.
For the switch track with the flex track behind the station 12:23 you could do 2 tunnels in the mountain and have the switch in the hill so it hides all the flex track. Also City is looking so good!!
Happiest of Fathers Day Bricksie! Long time viewer. I just want to say that, no matter what you continue to do to the city, the decision to put the cloud mural on the walls as a back drop is still probably the best choice of money well spent. Every scene looks super fly because of that one decision. Keep up the great work!!
For the water separation between the boatyard and the beach, you could build a boat lock to control boat passage. That would make nice transition and allow more variation than only a long patch of rocks. Love your city. Keep up the good work!
Hi Bricksie. Happy Father’s Day and Go Oilers! I have a suggestion for your train station placement that might help with your track issues. I would suggest rotating the train station 90 degrees and placing along the edge of your Lego city. That way one train line passes straight through and maybe the other branches off the main outer track with a switch track and continues through and then curves and connects to your track that passes under the mountain. I think that would clean up the look of the tracks so that you aren’t loosing so much space to these double switch tracks.
To connect the lighthouse, look into breakwater structures that are put into bodies of water. Basically, just a lot of rocks stacked in a line to separate water. You could even put a small dirt path to let the lighthouse keeper get to land without needing a dingy!
Sugestion - How about moving the ferris wheel forward so it makes a pier like structure jutting out into the ocean. The board walk could then align quite simply to the pier...
ive always thought the Up house would look great in the downtown core next to the construction site! love the progress so far and cannot wait to see it continue to grow! happy fathers day!
You could move the Kwik e Mart to one of the green plates next to the train line (industrial or retail buildings are usually place as most people don't want to live them) which will allow you to put another house in the residential area.
I think the train station will better serve two separate trains going in opposite directions servicing different areas of the city instead on just one train with switch tracks because only one side of the station will be used at any given time instead of both
I think the main train station should be somewhere near the town hall and Central Park and just build a minor station on that location serving the residential area.
I was going to say make sure the medieval section is adjacent to the ski slope, the future Mountain Fortress can go on the snowy mountain, but it looks like that's how they're lining up...
If you raise the buildings on the canal 8 bricks you can build something cool underneath that you can access from the access hole. Like a basement or parking garage or some kind of lab. That would be sick.
On the two roads that are off-center that need to cross the water make a construction site making a bridge with a detour route on both of the roads to go over the other bridge you already made. I hope you take this in to consideration❤❤❤
Love how clean your city looks. You've got things spread out now so you can really appreciate each section as an individual entity, but yet it's cohesive as one big city. Can't wait for that center mountainous area to begin construction. Wow what a project?! Do you know what you're in for?? 😂 keep up the amazing work. You're an inspiration to many others out there!
With the train station and the difficulty of trying to collect lines to it, would it make more sense if you had 2 separate train tracks? Each covering opposite halves of the city and then they meet at the station? It just looks kinda odd - and not making much practical sense - to have one track splitting into two for the benefit of the station and then merging back onto one. Maybe if you had a train yard or some other offshot destination, but again you might as well have a second dedicated track. Maybe like a city/metro mine and then one that goes out the the residential/countryside.
I would raise everything by 6 bricks now. You will have endless options for depth in the future. I think 3 sheets of 3/4 melamine should equal 6 bricks high, if this is the case you could just cut up a bunch of scrap pieces to put underneath the modular buildings. And if you change it to 2 sheets of melamine it should equal 4 bricks. If this works it would be a low cost option to adjust the height of the buildings without adding bricks to each building.
The bricklink train station cause you a lot of trouble. Maybe you can convert it to a single lane train track. That way your Disney train will fit, if I remember it was too wide to fit into the train station. You can put the lane right in the middle of the station and extend the docks on each side.
Hey Bricksie, please read this suggestion. For the train station I was thinking that you could put two different swithctracks that go in opposite ways, one going from the side of the amusement park into the train station (like you have now) and one going from the train station to the Downtown (like what you were trying at first in the time lapse). That way you'll have two lines going in opposite directions through the train station and you could build a big tunnel through the mountains accomodating two lines
A suggestion create some plates that are open space with for sale signs on them so when you get new buildings you have some ware to put them without moving a tone of stuff. You could even build a realtor office. You could build some crazy lots for sale and may even spark fun thoughts on future ways to use them
When you are trying to figure your canal out. Some things that I think of are the Riverwalk in San Antonio, TX or River Cam through Cambridge, England. You might look at pictures of those for inspiration. I am sure whatever you do, it will look impressive.
I think the train station would work better by having two switch tracks on the main track coming from both directions? So both a left hand and a right hand turn. Hope that makes sense?
Have you thought about using the train station to support 2 lines, Dow town can be part of one loop and the amusement park another loop and use switch track to connect the other parts of the City. Make the train station like grand central.
I have a recommendation that may work for your stud gate train station and that is have a residential train line that just circles the residential area that way you don’t have to have the weird switch connections and it can just circle the residential area and go towards the amusement park so the residents have a way to go from the edge of downtown to the amusement park and eliminates the weird switch connections
It would essentially give you five train lines in the city, the main line that goes around everything, the residential line, the elevated line if you plan on having that again, the amusement park line, and the subway which I think would look amazing and incorporate studgate without all the weird connections
@@thebeardedbrickbuilder7935 i would have moc`d the central station to 4 tracks and had a line for each corner of tables , would maybe mean having 8 trains travelling at same time , separate city train/tram inner city
Happy Father's Day! The more I look at the canal area, especially hearing you describe your plans for elevation, the more I think that it will be far easier to shift the road placement on one side or the other so that the bridge across the canal is straight... but I don't know what that will do to your building alignment, especially now that building placement is officially done.
Happy Father’s Day! I think it would be fun to see some road work being done in the city. Maybe filling a pothole, modifying a curb or sidewalk, or painting a crosswalk. I’m eager to see how you do the small hills and inclines. I’m workin on a project that I want to add a hill to.
Instead of a switch in front of your train station, you could also connect the second track of the station with the opposite direction of your perimeter track. So one track coming from the clockwise direction of the perimeter track into the station and the other one coming from the counter clockwise direction. this could give you some interesting options with regards to different train traffic.
Hey Bricksie...to avoid 'third party' track, there is a sneaky switch 'trim' you can do that removes the kink from the curve coming off the switch...I've done it with my layout and it works a treat! And keeps things 'pure' lego...
I really like the idea of raising the modulars along the canal. There's potential for that to look really great and add a unique look to your city. But it does sound tricky. I would suggest taking some spare wood or simple MILS plates or just cardboard boxes and start messing with the heights in as simple a way as possible to get a feel for what works. It'll probably take a lot of time to figure out, so no need to mess with the details until the rough layout makes sense.
Hey Bricksie! Your city is looking awesome👍 I’m especially loving the train station area. I can envision a parking lot to fill the empty space on the residential facing side, if you decided to go that route. Can’t wait to see what’s next 🙌
Should the Home alone house and the Simpsons house be swapped so that the Simpsons house is next to the Quiki mart? Would seem to make more sense. Love seeing all of the daily progress. Great job!
A retaining wall next to the canal would be a good option bc otherwise it’s be kinda weird having elevation moving away from the water since water usually flows down hill. I would think about having the elevation go up from the water to the mountains. But I’m interested in seeing what your ideas look like.
Hello, When you do city planning you have to start from the bottom up. i think that canal water looks to level with the ground, for it to make cense and look better you are going have to lift the whole city two or three bricks higher, so in order to do that your going to take the whole thing apart and start all over.
Loving the new layout, I can’t wait to see where you go with it. The canal is going to add a nice touch, to achieve the depth in the canal and at your ocean front have you considered cutting out that section of melamine just under where water will go and lowering it a few studs that way? It would mean a bit of sawdust and trimming your supports but a good way to create that natural depth.
With the train station, it could be easier if the tracks turned different directions from the station; one to the right and one to the left and just have switches for each one in the main track 🚂
Love it . Q little confused by the layout. The streets don't line up. I it is neat to see difference in layout with old. City. I didn't know that you had diagon alley hidden behind buildings looks so nice ! 👍
I think you need to reconsider the canal where it meets the sea - you need a lock system to maintain the canal's water level regardless of the state of tide. You will also need a way to cross the canal that allows for small boats to go underneath, ie.. not the very shallow bridge that is there now. How about looking at a Dutch-style canal bridge that lifts up to allow craft underneath? If this is a canal the water level would normally only be a foot or two below the pavement level. Don't forget the safety barriers to prevent pedestrians falling in!
I vision chicago river/“canal” through a city. Regardless all faith on bricksies vision. Thank you for your videos/vlogs/shorts/live streams/whatnots. All appreciated
Eiffel Tower! It would look PERFECT at the end of the canal corner and be the end of the park from the side as well. great view all around!! Your city seems like one of the ONLY ones who could handle the scale of it. Anyways, somehting else to ponder if you wish. take care and looking great!!
The city looks better and better! What about modifying that railway station to accomodate the correct distance between the 2 train tracks? It’s a custom build so it shouldn’t be a problem modifying it
lol, you keep calling those DI’s ( drain inlets) sewers. They are called storm drains. Sewers go underneath the road and have manhole covers. If you call them sewers then you might as well make your blue water brown.
The 6 pop up spots you could take a piece of white board and build a cross frame on the bottom of them and then mount a 2x4 leg. Then build something light on them, maybe a Forrest or something that when you need to get in there it's easy to grab the 2x4 leg and lift it up. On yesterday's video when you got on the ladder those pop up places just stood out more so for some reason. Like they just draw your attention away from the city .
Hey! Just got an idea. What about extending the platform outside of the trainstation in both way, like it somtimes is in real world. No roof, just the platform. That way it doesnt look so akward with a long train that doesnt fit. And it wouldnt be such a big project, but look really nice!
Happy Father's Day Bricksie. Before raising the roads in the city, you could build a small mock on the side to see how a sloped road will work, and if it does work, you'll have an approach for the rest of down town.
Looking good so far! Have a suggestion for your residential area, what about spreading the houses out and give them a nice yard instead of having them piled up like downtown for houses? Also, happy Father’s Day!!
I’m so excited to watch the city transform! While you were showing of the residential are something looked off, and I realized it was the Home Alone house. I was wondering if you’ve ever thought about changing the roof’s color so it’s not snow, or replace the greenery out front with snow.
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
I would love to see the train station be more integrated with the train track. Maybe even a second track. 1 track for two station platforms is not the best. Also would love to see less road and more city stuff! Like buildings, maybe a open air ice hockey station. there are a lot of citys where they have buildings but no road for cars. You could also try to make a tram a train on de road going through the station.
Regarding the train station. Think you should do it so mini figs have to change train there to get to other parts in the city. This is normal in the real life. Having switch track before and after the train station looks stupid. So i think you should have 2 Train lines going in there. Love your city. Keep up the good work
Instead of making the buildings on “the left” slope up to the canal, the more logical thing would be to make them slope DOWN to it, maybe on the slopes down from the mountain. Canals are often made on the lowest elevation, due to drainage etc. Also, how cool would it be to integrate Rivendell in this layout? Place it on the hills in the background and have the waterfall run into the Ninjago area and the canal 🤩
You very first youtube video popped up in my feed this morning so of course I watched it. Good to see some of your original builds are still in your city. But as a proud Aussie I will have to correct one thing that beautiful building on the shelf is the Sydney Opera House not the London city Opera House. Don't see it in you display anymore ☹. Nice comparison with all the road plates you have now and the old road base plates you started with.
Concern/Suggestion: If you are slowly elevating one side of your canal throughout the city, won't it be more of a river than a canal? You could keep the canal 'city portion' at level through the city and not have to deal with specializing so many MILS plates. Then once out of the city, continue as river up the mountain where you can have much more fun with elevation changes. I hope this consideration helps your AMAZING city!
It’s hard to visualize it all in your basement space-it doesn’t seem possible it all fit! 😆 Looks great!! Canal thoughts-you could do little foot bridges over the canal like Venice. 🥰👍
What about a wooden pier bridge to the Lighthouse, than the harbour an the beach is seperated. But the Lighthouse is still an island. and you can do cool story telling under the pier
Just a suggestion that the train station would look good outside the zoo and beach. Then the double track woulf feed directly to the train yard. Feel like it would make more sence being there
I would consider removing the lane markings in the residential area.. Most residential neighborhoods don’t really have those.

Love the idea to gradually lift the modular buildings, giving an incline toward the canal for greater depth. I think that will work really well!
The residential area needs a cool park!!

Hi, I think you should get your lego art off the floor and start hanging it on the wall :) do a little in between projects to break the routine.
Yes! Im surprised at that,\. Such an easy thing to do. Also that Bricksie sign should have been up before the city started!
I think the main train station should be somewhere near the town hall and Central Park and just build a minor station on that location serving the residential area.

Think the canal will cause you some sleepless nights lol. Have a look at Venice re bridges and also River Thames embankment in London England UK.
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
I would love to see the train station be more integrated with the train track. Maybe even a second track. 1 track for two station platforms is not the best. Also would love to see less road and more city stuff! Like buildings, maybe a open air ice hockey station. there are a lot of citys where they have buildings but no road for cars. You could also try to make a tram a train on de road going through the station.
Maybe a big bus station next to train station for residential roads.
i would also like to wish you a Happy Fathers Day. And also would like to say that you have made a lot of progress in just a short time good work.
Residential area is looking awesome - nicely done
Hope you're enjoying fathers day! City progress is awesome, its super awesome to see the ideas come together.
Day 53 of daily streak
Regarding the train station. Think you should do it so mini figs have to change train there to get to other parts in the city. This is normal in the real life.
Having switch track before and after the train station looks stupid.
So i think you should have 2 Train lines going in there.
Love your city. Keep up the good work
You gotta finnish the canal and boardwalk!
good to see the oilers found their offense last night
Instead of making the buildings on “the left” slope up to the canal, the more logical thing would be to make them slope DOWN to it, maybe on the slopes down from the mountain. Canals are often made on the lowest elevation, due to drainage etc.
Also, how cool would it be to integrate Rivendell in this layout? Place it on the hills in the background and have the waterfall run into the Ninjago area and the canal 🤩
You very first youtube video popped up in my feed this morning so of course I watched it. Good to see some of your original builds are still in your city. But as a proud Aussie I will have to correct one thing that beautiful building on the shelf is the Sydney Opera House not the London city Opera House. Don't see it in you display anymore ☹. Nice comparison with all the road plates you have now and the old road base plates you started with.
I would change the track entry to the train station. You have no entry to the train station from the city center.
Concern/Suggestion: If you are slowly elevating one side of your canal throughout the city, won't it be more of a river than a canal? You could keep the canal 'city portion' at level through the city and not have to deal with specializing so many MILS plates. Then once out of the city, continue as river up the mountain where you can have much more fun with elevation changes. I hope this consideration helps your AMAZING city!
If you brick build the road and sidewalk then the incline is smooth and the modular s would be stepped up by the bricks.
I hope next video is canal, I love water details.
Idea: Pirate ship battle in water upfront!
Just wanted to continue to recommend using different sidewalks for the residential area and removing the outside white lines.
It would be cool to have a dirt path at the end of the bike path leading towards the country side
You should add the railroad crossing signs that keep cars from getting hit by the trains. Everything looks really good, Jordan! Happy father’s day!
You should add a bunch of bars and restaurants on the canal. Your city needs a night life!
There was a huge party and now everyone lay passed out on top of the Lego Kwik E Mart😁
You should have a road the goes to the end of the table so it makes ot seem like the city continues off the table.
It’s hard to visualize it all in your basement space-it doesn’t seem possible it all fit! 😆
Looks great!!
Canal thoughts-you could do little foot bridges over the canal like Venice. 🥰👍
What about a wooden pier bridge to the Lighthouse, than the harbour an the beach is seperated. But the Lighthouse is still an island. and you can do cool story telling under the pier
For the tracks use trixbrix tracks
We want Ninja Mountain! We want Ninja Mountain! And happy dad day bruv! Glad your O’s are still alive.
Look up some pictures of Amsterdam or Venice for inspiration for your canal
