    Could have got Lego to create some R236 standard 9volt track for the train bridge. Could have made the curve another brands track radius. Could have not included a useless bridge in the set. Instead went with a train bridge without train track...

  • @Brickstherobloxian
    @Brickstherobloxian Před 11 dny

    This set is absolutely amazing unfortunate that it didn’t get more orders I believe most people didn’t think it was worth the price and didn’t want to pay so much for mostly a bridge but to me that is what really holds the set together I of course picked this up alongside studtgate and my previously ordered old train engine shed can’t wait for this to arrive!

  • @neilrusling-je6zo
    @neilrusling-je6zo Před 11 dny

    I love the train, ordered 1. The bridge on the other hand I am no fan of. Why wasnt the bridge built with the same curve as standard lego track? The bridge is not even built to use any types of Lego curved track, no one sells R236. So if the bridge is a train bridge but cant be used as a train bridge...Then what use is it? Plus two thirds of all the pieces go into the train bridge that cannot be used as a train bridge, which is infuriating. Please think what you are doing when designing sets. If a part of the set is not fit for purpose then do not include it until it is fit for purpose, make changes. Secondly- Lego designers, stop using non standard rail track systems, this includes the ancient 12volt track pieces that cant be joined to standard 9volt track as well as this clips and tiles method that also cant be joined with lego track, JUST USE LEGO TRACK LIKE LEGO DOES...I do not understand how this is not a rule, it would have saved me a lot of work trying to figure out ways of joining these awful systems to normal track. I wonder if the designer realises how many people did not buy this set because of that useless bridge, it stopped me getting two. Did no one at Lego enquire what are people supposed to do with the train bridge part that has no train track? That would have been MY FIRST QUESTION.

    • @Tiesproductions
      @Tiesproductions Před 11 dny

      I answered most of these questions already in reply to one of your previous comments, as for how many people skipped this set because of the bridge? I don't know. I've heard quite a few people say they would have bought one if the bridge wasn't included, but I've also heard a lot of people saying that they bought the set specifically because of the bridge. All I know is that this was the model that people voted for, so this is how it gets produced.

    I per-ordered it and have a place for it in my layout. It actually solves a small problem I've had. For my job I end of having to travel the US a lot for different surveys in National Forests and sometime military bases (Sorry I can't be more specific but I do need to protect what I survey). I happened to do some work in Mississippi last year, in a place where they did a lot of logging in the 1800s. While conducting my survey I ran into a well preserved dummy line (no track sadly) originally made to haul the logged wood out of the forest, the remain was about 2.5 m (6ish ft) tall and a couple hundred meters long. Now when i work i like to look for places that i can include in my layout, and because of that discovery I have been planning to add a logging branch line. My biggest problem was I didn't have a locomotive for it, as most of my current ones would not be able to operate on this sort of line. Once I saw your set on the program I knew this was the solution to my problem. I plan to fully integrate this set into the branch line I have planned. You may not have had a lot of preorders (yet) but, I think that yours had been the best locomotive so far in the program.

    Hi Ties, it's a real shame that your train set didn't sell better. On the other hand, over 10,000 copies sold is still a success. I think it's because buyers are put off by the price of a small unmotorized train and a large bridge. Another reason is probably the brick-built rails, as they cannot be connected to the standard rails. This also leads me to a question: Is the bridge construction flexible? I also have track radii from other manufacturers such as TrixBrix and they also have significantly wider radii. Do you think the construction is so flexible and pliable that you could build a wide radius on the bridge? In any case, I like your design and have also secured a set for my collection.

    • @Tiesproductions
      @Tiesproductions Před 12 dny

      @@kexysbrickbuilts the bridge is a little bit flexible, but also the curve is quite a bit larger then most 3rd party manufacturers sell. (The bridge is somewhere around r230). But there should be no problem to keep the brick-built track and put normal track next to it

    We could have had the train for about $80 without that awful impossible to use bridge. People want sets they can integrate with the rest, we do not want sets with a bridge we cannot integrate with the rest. I cannot work out the thinking process where supposedly intelligent people got together and looked at this stupid unusable bridge and then came to the conclusion that a train bridge without train track is a good idea?????...HOW DID THIS PASS INSPECTION???

  • @neilrusling-je6zo
    @neilrusling-je6zo Před 16 dny

    Why didnt it use normal Lego track? Why would you use clips and tiles when it is impossible to have these join to normal track? Why have a curved bridge that is a totally different curve than normal Lego track? What is the point of a huge bridge that is impossible to use as a train bridge? If the bridge is useless why include it in the set? I want the train, I do not want a pointless huge impossible to use curved bridge. This is without any doubt the most annoying Lego set EVER. Sell me the TRAIN, keep your crappy useless bridge.

    • @Tiesproductions
      @Tiesproductions Před 16 dny

      This feels more like a rant then a question, but let me try to answer you anyway. • The bridge doesn't use normal track, because LEGO only makes really sharp curves or straight track pieces. • The tile & clip track on the bridge is the same width as normal track, so if you have a raised section of normal track, the bridge can easily be joined to it with a minimal gap. • If the curve on the bridge doesn't work for your layout, you can easily build a straight version by removing a single 1x1 plate in each segment. • The bridge exists because this is primarily a display set for adults. I've designed the train so it's possible to add a motor and battery box, but its primary goal is to be a display piece. • (from your other comment) these BDP sets are not designed by LEGO, but by fans like me. There is no "inspection" (other then for stability or illegal build techniques), the sets that get chosen are simply the ones that had the most positive votes during the crowd support fase.
