In the middle section you should do an open field that you can swap out pre made modules. Like a small Christmas display, a spooky dilapidated house for Halloween, you get the idea.
An idea for the tramline would be to add an 'obvious' main road in your city (with multiple lanes for example) and than let the tram integrate in that road. I think that would look awesome!
I feel like you should add wildflowers or dandelions between the train tracks because i feel like it needs a little bit of color. Where I live, there are always sunflowers in the ditches because we used to have sunflower fields around my town
I would love to see a pumpkin patch in the empty space between the village and the city. Pumpkins would be so cool to design with different sizes and types, and the orange colors would stand out so well against the green.
I'd be affraid the staircase will fall down due to vibration of people moving around the LEGO set, so i'd suggest adding some support. Metal strip or piece of wire across it so it would be more secure :)
I was thinking the same thing. It looks like there's enough room for technic bricks to be put between the baseplates and the platform ground. Then just run some beams down to technic bricks under the structure.
Just a suggestion for your elevator next to the railway station: instead of adding space to the top of the elevator shaft for the cables and pulleys, you could have an elevator that is pushed up by a piston at the bottom, which is a more likely elevator design for an outdoor elevator that just goes from street level to below-ground.
An ‘underground’ (under table) traintunnel could be interesting, especially if you use lighting in the tunnel. That would give a spectacular view from the traincamera.
I don’t know if this is a European thing, but in the UK, the street violinists would have a hat for collecting coins, you could add a bucket or something to show that and add some coins to it infront of them.
If you ever decide to build a beach of some kind in front of the sea with a cliff behind it in the future, you could make a cliff railway similar to the one found in a place called Oddicombe, in England. It is like a tram that moves diagonally upwards and downwards, carrying people from the top of the cliff to the beach. Perhaps it could even connect to the pre-established tramline in some way? :)
For the elevator you could use a rack and pinion system from technic to put the motor underneath the elevator (That way you don't have to extend the top) and push the car from the bottom. Many elevators do this by using hydraulic piston instead of cables.
What you can always do is buy some (lego-compatible) small LED-strips and glue them inside of buildings and roofs in order to illuminate everything. I always think that it adds a lot of life to a city. As an alternative, you may also might like to use some LEDs below the wood structure and redirect the light into the city using fibre-optic cables and diffusers.
@@unknown6656 Lego should start making illuminated lego pieces (basically translucent pieces with LEDs inside) and a set of standard lego pieces that have metal conductors or something on the studs that would allow you to distribute power across your lego layout.
He already had a lighting system in his old old layout (before this channel was started but it's still on the German channel), so I think he has an idea how to do it, not to mention he also added the space between plate and baseplate to run wires through. Some of the stuff he illuminated was the subway station, cinema and traffic lights btw. Relatively complicated ones as well. Edit: If you are interested in seeing what I mean, watch "Letzter Lego-Stadt Rundgang im alten Layout" (last Lego city tour in the old layout) from 31:10 onwards, there you get an idea what he already did and will probably improve on when he can
Love your videos, I was thinking maybe you could make the sand green building into some kind of small souvenir shop for the tourists visiting the city.
In order not to miss the lighthouse, it might also be possible for the tram to go through a small tunnel. The lighthouse can then be built on the hill by pulling the rock wall forward.
That minifigure is at serious risk of falling off the platform and onto the tracks!My suggestion is to move the bench further from the tracks, to the other side of the station building and adding a colored band to the platform edges for visibility and disability accommodation. It could even be textured using yellow or white 1x2 radiator grilles...
Don't know why, but this reminds me of a district of Warsaw where I live. It is split in the middle by a railway, and to get across, you need to use one of two underpasses, one of which connects to the railway station, which is a sort of centrepiece of the district
Congratulations! I’d like to see you connect with tram the lower section to the upper section… it would be a little challenge to deal with the slope. Good work
The ebb and flow of these videos is perfect. There’s no filler, just you showing your style and what you want to do with your city. I’m hooked and I cannot stop watching!
An idea for both the train and tram stations: most of the real world stations have a yellow line close to the tracks to prevent people from standing too close. It's a small detail, but I think it would give a more realistic look!
Love how the sheet music at 3:10 appears to have the notes to "when you wish upon a star", and not some random musical gibberish. It's the little things that count!
That building really feels like a coffee shop! It has a variety of Public space around it, and would fit well with the general vibe of the area between an old and new town.
The new building can become a kiosk or information point where visitors can find flyers for interesting things to do in the city. Btw, I love these videos. I just like eating my snacks/dinner while watching you
An idea for the train tracks. Add a worker mowing the tall overgrown vegetation. So you have both a clean look and an overgrown look at the same time. And a talking point of a city worker in action.
Ahhh I enjoy your content so much. It is perhaps the most relaxing 8-10 minutes of my week. I'm glad you are back to weekly updates. For that one building you mentioned, you could make it as a postal building. Granted it's not super ideally placed to be a "main" postal building, but what about as a smaller, secondary postal building? I would think tourists would take the tram to "see the sights" and it would then end at the postal building. So if you added a postcard shop next to the postal building, it would be super easy for tourists to mail postcards home to their loved ones.
It's super awesome you did the underpass! It almost felt out of character for you to have the stairs leading down to nothing. For the building by the tram; It would be fun to have a platform on the front for the tram and turn it into a tram station/tram historical building.
Would be awesome to see here some kind of whole underground part of the city - subway and abandoned sewers/tunnels - in which the bad guys story would take part.
few ideas : - maybe you can add a public basketball field, the orange of it would add color - you can also putt a football pitch, and why not even a stadium ? :) - you can also add a water pond or big fountain to add some blue in the front as well - also you can add a road with some parking spots in the front, for now no road connects to the building in front of the railways, how can the shopers for example bring their products to the market ? - on the upper platform, to make it not just a big city with buildings, you could create a park - don't forget to add barriers to the stairs from the lower to the upper platform
Maybe have the building as an old school ticket master sort of stand and in the field either a farmland (pens, crops, etc) with some trails between them or a sports/multipurpose field with a playground and skate park in it :) happy building!
Perhaps add some more plants to the smuggling cove so it's not so visible from the town above? Maybe even some fake camouflage, like a net or plank ceiling (visible from below) covered with plants on top. Cool little details for the children which will have a lower POV than the adults!
Maybe once you get further built you could add some LED's in the street lights, buildings, and vehicles? Then some fiber optic on that rear panel for nighttime stars. Could pretty awesome with a train ride at night! :) 👍 A small hunters lodge with elk, bear or wolves and an led fire 🔥. Does Lego have wild animals? Maybe a small theme park, carnival or circus. Some lit up carnival rides/stalls would look cool. A campground with different campers like the winnebago, or the airstream. Led campfires and tents. Could be enjoying 🛶, mini golf, horseback riding, or riding around the campground on their golf cart. lol
At the 7:45 mark I spy another city or a castle layout either way I'm excited about it. Your city layout is top notch, in my opinion it's actually the best on CZcams it rivals most Legoland builds and is better that alot of legoland layouts. This is impressive my friend.
For the elevator moving up and down could you create a piston effect underneath, where the elevator is pushed up from underneath and lowered back down. Then you won't have to try and cram a motor in the roof to try and pull it up. 👍
IDEA!!! For the "underground" areas you should hook up tiny spy cameras and have a screen on the wall showing the feeds like security cameras. Keep up the awesome work brother, loving the updates.
This is just amazing. The new building could be a steak out building for a spy organisation, trying to find the source of the money laundering operation, just to tie in the entire story. The building could have big computers and agents trying to find criminals.
A suggestion for the Tram line. Have a stop where you have built it right now. then let it turn under the elevated part of the city and have an underground stop there with elevators all the way to the top. Then let the tram dive below the table and have another underground stop somewhere where the cityhall is.
I feel like if you moved the smugglers cove to the right a bit you could connect those rocks to the rocks by the tunnel without getting in the way of the tram tracks
You could do a windmill for the area between the two, motorized would be something that draws the eye there. Perhaps an observatory could work as well. With the other end of things, perhaps on an edge go with a zoo design. There's enough animal figures in scale that it would look neat and having just part of it visible would work with the rest leading off from it...or, perhaps, go with a safari park. Also, in the city, you ought to grab one of the Lego hotdog carts and put it somewhere. It's a rather cheap set and just a fun thing to have.
Awesome, love the enginuaty and satsfying building of new sections. It would be super cool if you made a full subway system, or at least a full station.
I love how you've made all this look in the new space. These videos are a joy to watch. I hope your museum is well loved, very profitable, and will provide you with a great place for your creativity to roam free.
This channel makes me so happy. Seeing your city grow and evolve with every new episode really is the best. Thank you for all that you do and for how you inspire us to be creative like you.😊❤️
Idea: would there be room for a zoo and/or sports venues in or near the city? I think it would be cool features to have, maybe on the rural side so that people from the village can easily go there too.
Looking forward to seeing more colouration in the vegetation! I absolutely adore all the greenery you have in your city, it looks a little like a rain forest, but some reds and maybe yellows in there would also look gorgeous.
Maybe you could put a big lake between the village and the edge of the city. You could fill that with minifigs fishing, swimming and doing watersports. The whole city looks awesome btw!
I stumbled upon this series a few months ago and I'm so happy I did because this is awesome to watch this project keep expanding. What a crazy, strange lane of CZcams but it's fuckin awelsome.
Awesome work so far! Just food for thought, that the tram station should be more elaborate seeing as it will be at the front of the city, closest to everyones line of site. A clock tower or an extended platform could be great. Also if possible trying to design a old church or medieval church to put in the city would be a cool addition!
Maybe the green building at the tramline could be a tourism information point? Could maybe make good use of all the printed tiles you now with maps and such.
You could add yellow flowers to the grass/flower stem parts in between the two tracks to represent those flowers associated with weeds (don't know the name of them) as they are usually found along train tracks. Or at least where I live anyway. Love the videos
The small building at the tram station could be tram driver lounge hub, maybe with some lockers for cloth changing and some monitors for tram scheduling and more stuff.
I feel like the underpass would be a cool thing to see from under the table. Maybe have a busker down there or maybe a robber stealing a bag. It would be cool if when you open the city up, it could be a little scene for kids to see 🤟
The staircase and elevator under the tracks is awesome and not something you see very often, in fact ive never seen this in any other lego city before. Just remember to save the pieces of both the table and the baseplates that you cut out. That way if you have to remodel or something you can at least glue the table piece back in.
Just wanted to say thanks for making these videos and sharing your creations! Every episode I am blown away with the level of detail you are able to achieve - you are a master builder!
I was smiling the entire video, seeing the progress is amazing and the city is looking awesome! Love the elevator shaft and all the details around the new area
you should connect them under the table, along with a nice window view inside of the people walking through, maybe a busker, so little kids can spot it.
The tunnels are such an awesome add! Definitely want to add those to my city when I have the space to go from a shelf to a table city! Specifically for subways!
Any concerns about cutting a baseplate are more than forgiven by your commitment for building the barely visible underground walkway. Beautiful, and I'm sure the minifigs appreciate it being functional.
This is once again, my favorite Lego city on CZcams. Great work. Might I suggest some light grey plates/tiles/slopes prince for ballast to help contrast the ground beneath the tracks? Also hope we see see that fountain again, I adore that design. Can’t wait to see what’s next, keep up the great work!
The tramline building reminds me of the green shelters dotted around London for taxi drivers. I think you could take inspiration from them? Turn it into a little café...
The station could be another part of the money laundering business, for example, there could be some people taking the tram with money filled suitcases, and trasfering them trought the station, to the secret cove and off city via ships.
The little building up front could be a small coffeeshop where the figures can pick up a cappuccino on their way to the metro line and/or train station!
I think you should have kept ballast between the railroads, with only a few vegetation. Also, because of you've cut for the first elevator, yes you should do it for the other one too :) ! A corridor going to the other one would be a so great easter egg, and you can also use it latter as a second entrance/exit your old idea of a underground railroad !
I think one thing that could be nice is that you open lego doors and have the characters "caught in the moment/slice of life" when they are about to pass trough into a building.
I feel like that building could be an older Railway Interlocking Tower that maybe got turned into a small train museum or shop when all the railway switching was retrofitted to use electronic switching instead of mechanical.
In the middle section you should do an open field that you can swap out pre made modules. Like a small Christmas display, a spooky dilapidated house for Halloween, you get the idea.
Good idea
that's such a cool idea, hope he sees this
I thought of a travelling fair and then saw your comment. I think it fits in with yours as a temporary seasonal feature.
or cows grazing
travelling carnival!
An idea for the tramline would be to add an 'obvious' main road in your city (with multiple lanes for example) and than let the tram integrate in that road. I think that would look awesome!
yes!
That's what I was going to say, a street running tram line or just at grade would be cool.
and at stations add flat top yellow tiles to the sides near the rail to keep lego people away from the tramline
I think tram should connect downtown to uptown
@@pauloalmeida8926 im pretty sure that's the idea

A seasonal interchangeable field
this is such a great idea!!
I was going to say a farm, but a seasonal area would work so well with it!
I agree! Such a great mind! I’d love to see all the green orange and white!
This is the best Lego city ever!
Agree
Better than Jangbricks’ city
Agree
no arguing
@@caesar7734 I am not going to say my opinion, but all LEGO Cities are amazing!

lego pieces stick together pretty well, a bit of vibrations from people walking around won't knock that loose.
@@tomslastname5560 eh, I'd still use technic pieces to build a supporting frame though, just in case.
I was thinking the same thing. It looks like there's enough room for technic bricks to be put between the baseplates and the platform ground. Then just run some beams down to technic bricks under the structure.
@@tomslastname5560 Unsupported, it will eventually work its way loose. Gravity is constantly pulling on it.
Gravity is still pulling it down @@tomslastname5560
The design for the glass roof is super cool!

You are so creative. Making the stairs by cutting the 'table' and your city is just mind-blowing. Keep going!

My man went from “I won’t build under because it can’t be seen” to something that is truly craftsmanship.
The little Green house could be a signal house for the tram line
A suggestion would be to add a call button to both of the elevator to make it more realistic
Don't know why, but this reminds me of a district of Warsaw where I live. It is split in the middle by a railway, and to get across, you need to use one of two underpasses, one of which connects to the railway station, which is a sort of centrepiece of the district

It's the little things that count!
I love how you just jump right into the video no boring bits just BAM. Love seeing the progress of the lego city it's come so far
It would be sick to see the tram go uphill between the rocks onto the upper platform!
That building really feels like a coffee shop! It has a variety of Public space around it, and would fit well with the general vibe of the area between an old and new town.
For the new house near the tramline you could make it a break room for the tram drivers where they start and end their shifts and eat their lunch. :-)
The new building can become a kiosk or information point where visitors can find flyers for interesting things to do in the city.
Btw, I love these videos. I just like eating my snacks/dinner while watching you
I’ve never been so satisfied watching a guy build a lego city. It’s like a man is building a city in real life but everyone is miniature.

Add a worker mowing the tall overgrown vegetation. So you have both a clean look and an overgrown look at the same time. And a talking point of a city worker in action.
At 0:09 you can see the person in the wheelchair moving while he is cutting the wood. I don’t know why but it is funny to me.
This build should bring the attention of the Guiness world records.

You could install the motor for the elevator under the table and use Technics pieces in a scissor lift fashion to move the elevator up and down

@ 7:31 in the gap between the village & the city , you should add a huge windmill or light house or barn with farm animals out front !
Idea: would there be room for a zoo and/or sports venues in or near the city? I think it would be cool features to have, maybe on the rural side so that people from the village can easily go there too.
Amazing progress as always. I think that little staircase could really use a light in it when you come to lighting the layout. Make it more noticable.
Looking forward to seeing more colouration in the vegetation!

You should make the building infront of the tram a gift shop since its near pretty much all modes of transport into the city
a classic windmill should fit between the village and the city, it could repeat the hay pattern that you introduced

A riddle for smart people: When the Lego city is ready someone should count how many times did he say TRAINTRACKS😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I was smiling the entire video, seeing the progress is amazing and the city is looking awesome! Love the elevator shaft and all the details around the new area
you should connect them under the table, along with a nice window view inside of the people walking through, maybe a busker, so little kids can spot it.
The tunnels are such an awesome add! Definitely want to add those to my city when I have the space to go from a shelf to a table city! Specifically for subways!
Any concerns about cutting a baseplate are more than forgiven by your commitment for building the barely visible underground walkway.
Beautiful, and I'm sure the minifigs appreciate it being functional.
Not sure if it would work in practice but having some led lights shining out from the staircase could create some interesting shadows.
This is once again, my favorite Lego city on CZcams. Great work. Might I suggest some light grey plates/tiles/slopes prince for ballast to help contrast the ground beneath the tracks? Also hope we see see that fountain again, I adore that design. Can’t wait to see what’s next, keep up the great work!
The tramline building reminds me of the green shelters dotted around London for taxi drivers. I think you could take inspiration from them? Turn it into a little café...
The station could be another part of the money laundering business, for example, there could be some people taking the tram with money filled suitcases, and trasfering them trought the station, to the secret cove and off city via ships.
The little building up front could be a small coffeeshop where the figures can pick up a cappuccino on their way to the metro line and/or train station!
I think you should have kept ballast between the railroads, with only a few vegetation.
Also, because of you've cut for the first elevator, yes you should do it for the other one too :) ! A corridor going to the other one would be a so great easter egg, and you can also use it latter as a second entrance/exit your old idea of a underground railroad !
I think one thing that could be nice is that you open lego doors and have the characters "caught in the moment/slice of life" when they are about to pass trough into a building.
I feel like that building could be an older Railway Interlocking Tower that maybe got turned into a small train museum or shop when all the railway switching was retrofitted to use electronic switching instead of mechanical.
You should add LEDs to the lego city! It would look amazing
Your work is amazing. I love the attention to detail. The city is alive! Thank you for the video.
