You could put up a little scene of a barrier and barbed wire where the tracks meet the wall. "Beware: You are leaving Brick Nottingham and entering the wastelands. Brick Derby next stop!"
Haha. Turn back now while you still can!
@@prokesuk I love this idea!
Just be aware that wider trains might hit eachother if you put them on the no gap switch tracks, but they also make 4 brick gap ones, and then you can put some electrical boxes in between😊
Fun scene idea: use one of your spare 60051 noses to make the front of a train poking out of a tunnel facade with the driver holding a brakelever with a scared impression😅
(Sorry for my bad english)
First of all your English is perfect.
The tunnel is a fun idea. I have spare noses.
I think all my passenger trains should be ok with the zero gap given they are six wide but we'll soon find out!
@@BrickHaulOClock I did design it on LDD myself, it was a fun little detail😊
Bravo Robin, welcome to the world of custom Lego accessory goodness. I wanted a train yard for my trains a few years ago and stumbled upon 4D Brix, which is an English company who make the same types of pieces you just purchased. They also have a fine product line with all the different sizes of curves and switches.
Something you might be interested in, is the fact that they also have a good selection of Lego style monorail track, which I suspect are cheaper than sourcing old Lego monorail track. If you are interested, check them out.
Yeah I've seen them although I think they've stopped doing the monorail track. I may have enough as I've been sent four straights, and had a slope and a couple of corners left as it was. We'll see!
Nice to see that you have “fallen” for trixbrix, they are a fantastic addition to any serious train layout. Usually straight and curved tracks are injection molded and switches and crossings are printed. They have fantastic ballast plates to make it even more realistic and that’s why the underside of the tracks are consistent with antistuds. Just beware of the zero gap - the trains will bump sideways
I kinda like my ballast system. It's certainly cheaper, haha!
The tracks that have narrow gauge and the wider (or standard) gauge, do exist in real life. It's called dual gauge track where two gauges use the same common rail and run inside eachother. You would see this in indistrial areas (like a mine) where a narrow gauge line that services the industry and can fit through all the tight gaps would transload with a standard gauge line that would deliver all across the country.
They aren't as common anymore but there used to be a ton of them before modern cars and trucks took over.
I'll look forward to getting some!
No pressure but the Brick Derby layout has amazing tunnels and rolling green hills l!!
Steaming rubbish tips and tyre fires, I heard!
You could add some industries (places the railroad serves) like a quarry for a gondola car or a forest for a log car. I think it would add even more life to the city.
I do feel some of the new space should be industrial as opposed to just commercial!
Pretty impressive! I think that’s a totally fair exception to the rules. Lego should be making stuff like that in the first place.
Also very happy to hear my package made it! Can’t wait to see next week’s video 😁
Agreed. Especially since LEGO keeps pulling back from supporting the model railroading hobby, having abandoned making crossings, double crossovers, compact points and apparently the essential rubber/silicone o-rings for their own driver train wheels which they do still sell 🤷🏽♂️ 🤦🏽. The Orient Express for example can be motorised but LEGO has chosen to make the experience as painful for enthusiasts as possible by not including the o-rings in the set.
I don't understand LEGO sometimes. I guess they make most money from kids but the adult market for train extras has got to be massive globally!
I got some of the 2, 4, and 8 stud long straight tracks from TrixBrix. It's good quality and allows me to modify my layout exactly as I want. The seller was also helpful in finding a good non-standard shipping option for me. Excellent all around. Definitely recommended.
Much better than flex track like I had to use in the old setup!
🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃 choo! choo! Looking forward to even longer trains chugging round some interesting track layouts 👍🏻
Can't wait!
Wow!!!! You got Trixbrix, the 3D printed ones are the original and the nice shiny ones are much newer. 👍 I got lots (not free😆) in lockdown and really like them.
Yes it’s not Lego but the way I see it is Lego as did the set 4819 and 7996 but they failed as they were really weak and broke! So Trixbrix are doing what Lego wouldn’t quite do so we can have them done properly. 🤔
Can’t wait to see layout 0.1!🚆🛤️🛤️

Yeah LEGO should've been making all this for decades really. And better hubs and automation too!
I'm not a huge fan of trains but this has me very excited for trains in the new Lego room!
Even more packed and stacked!
I like the R56 Corners that allows you run proper parallel tracks
Yes, a subtle but very cool change!
Nice of Trixxbrixx to hook u up and i know their product for a while now from other AFOL's on the youtubes but im very curious what a mind like yours does with this product and me too as a person that lives vicariously true your lego hobby. much love from me and
Missus Payne
Many thanks to you both. Yes it opens up a lot of things but I'm not going to do sweeping curves and complex rail yards because of the space it takes and how hard it is to integrate. The more space efficient stuff is amazing though!
I'm enjoying the new rivalry with Brick Derby. 😆
They're wannabe rivals. No contest!
Exciting times ahead, really looking forward to seeing this master piece coming together
You and me both!
Thank you, Robin! I have been contemplating purchasing non-Lego track because I want to have a train track spiraling up a mountain for my winter village. Now I can see if they have anything that might help me with that!
That's a great idea!
Remember, you'll only be able to run 8 wide rains on those zero gap rails... Possibly only 6 wide (like the old 4.5v and 12v trains of the 70s and 80s).
All my trains fit under eight studs by design but that's not for everyone!
It must be the most monochromatic Brick'Hall O'clock ever ! 😅
I'm less convinced by the zero gap junction. You need at least 2 studs, one on each side, to allow clearance, isn't it ? Even a small door handle on a 8-studs train will clash on the next track. 🤔
I have always heard good feedback on Trixbrick's products.
My old tunnels were eight studs wide so all my passenger trains are under that width. Six studs plus door handles etc!
WOW WOW WOW, I love the way you have the tracks connecting and look forward to the pack and stacked reviel of the track in the new city, however I feel it will be 10 to 20 episodes. I will watch all of them just to see the amazing builds.. thank you for checking out Trix brix for all of us.
I'm gonna do a full test on the floor as it'll be ages until enough tables are in to try it raised up and I can't wait!
Wow! Talk about an improvement to an existing system! This new track will make an incredible layout!
I agree. Very exciting!
this track looks amazing.
It's gonna look great!
Im really looking forward to the next video! You must be desperate to get the old track up from the old city to lay the full layout in the new room! Can't wait to see this video soon 🤞
I have bought enough extra for a good demo I think!
I have a narrow gauge mine train. Its a Great Laxey Mines Railway "Ant" and a couple of tubs. I do worry that the zero gap won't give enough loading gauge between trains on adjacent tracks (so if your trains are 8 studs wide, then there will be zero gap between not only the tracks, but the trains too, and any additional width from handles etc will get knocked off)
Well they fit through eight wide tunnels so it should be ok!
Almost all Trixbrix curved & straight standard gauge track is now injection moulded. Their narrow gauge track & all switches (points) are still 3D printed though another third party track maker BrickTracks does make injection moulded wide radius switches (points).
I started my journey down the third party track when I wanted to make use of the official narrow gauge LEGO track, only to find they only made curves. This also led me to Circuit Cubes who make a tiny motors & rechargeable hub combo to motorise my narrow gauge train.
I’ve only had a few minor problems with 3D printed parts. One was an artefact from printing causing derailments, which was easy to shave off to create a flush surface. And one component of a switch set which had weak clutch power, fixed by connecting the two pieces with a 1x2 tile.
It is such a glorious thing to watch a train gracefully speed around a wide radius curve!
The Zero Gap switch looks like its a direct copy of the geometry of the old 4.5v/12v switches.
I bet it is. Much more efficient than the current system ones!
Good to see you have gone for some TrixBrix track.... it's good stuff and opens up so many possibilities.
You may find though , that you would be better off with 2 stud gap switches..... your trains may end up clashing on the zero stud.
I don't think so as it'll be passenger trains only. We'll soon see!
The colors are pretty good! Maybe I'll pull the trigger too and buy some... Thanks Robin for your honest opinions 🎉
I'm very happy with them and want more now!
So excited to see these in the new city! I’m glad you took the plunge into trix brix they are going to be awesome for improving the layout. Woop woop!
I hope so too!
Robin should be wearing a train engineers hat for this video.
Who says I wasn't? Haha!
I am super excited to see all of this in action! Alot of third party stuff adds functionality and cost effectiveness that Lego dose not offer. If it's gonna be covered anyway it's a smart move. 🎉
We agree!
I would suggest to test if 6 wide trains can pass each other without rubbing on the 0 gap switch. Everything slightly wider than 6 will not be able to pass each other.
Easily. The track is eight wide remember, the same as all my tunnels. The trains are six plus bits and bobs!
Maybe you could set up a lever or something on the switch to get it to turn between directions after the last car so two circles of track could share a length of it when on opposite sides of the city. Its amazing how much having a few more turn and junction options will open up potential layouts more like dedicated train layouts. Maybe a sky bridge or building struts of some kind could mount to some of the space between track lanes. Do these type of tracks have much tolerance to do gradual slopes over straight aways or would the track connections cause detailments from weight stress? It certainly sounds like the donation was good on their end if you are already brewing up ideas for the next order. ;p It might be worthwhile to check railroad modeling sources for ideas or solutions that the new piece variety can make viable.
I'm not going full brick railroader on account of it needing to meet well with a full city. That said it shows a lot of cool stuff.
Building over the T-junction is an interesting potential new location for @Sweat!
should've had a train or underside for swooshing and vrooming around.
That'll be the next video on the other channel!
You’re making me spend more money on ~Lego~, eh Trixbrix. I was eyeing them but had similar questions about quality, but seeing it passes your quality checks makes me want to expand the tracks in my city.
Please wait for the action test coming very soon, but I'm optimistic!
Have you came up with a track plan yet? You should add industries that the railroad serves; it might give the city a bit of life, otherwise the trains just go around and around
Round and round is fun when there's three at once. I do intend to have more spurs to the port, mine, train shed etc but none will be long enough for a whole moving long train. They'll have wagons or smaller builds for them!
Can’t remember if I mentioned it last time but your rail roads cut off could connect to other real LEGO cities of other legotubers. You can collaborate with the to set up a similar rail road going to Bricknottingham 😊
That would be cool. I'll need some volunteers!
@@BrickHaulOClock 🙋♂️
holy crap these tracks are really awesome. But holy crap these tracks are really really really really really expensive. Crikey!!
We suffer for our art!
I looked at their site and I wish I had space! I’d love to experiment with the train signals and working gates!
Yeah they look sweet!
@@BrickHaulOClock
Do you think you’ll mess around with that?
So glade @RoninHood finely got on the trix Bricks train. Can't wait for the new city.
Me too. Lots to do!
Packed, Stacked & Tracked! 😅
Haha, good one!
Great haul! I can't wait when theese tracks will be used! And 31:24 - same thing happened to me on video:D
I kept knocking the camera nearer and nearer the edge, haha!
It looks great but a tad bit confusing, I hope you don’t have any train wrecks! 😮 😉
Not yet!
My mind is entirely blown.
Is there really enough room for all these tracks AND buildings?
Yes, oh yes. It's gonna be sweet!
You’re “Chuffed” with it? I see what you did there!!
Toot tooot!
I’m so happy we’re getting Trix bricks in the new city! I’ve been kinda wanting to get these as well, so seeing you have them now has sold the deal!
I hope they test as well as they look. Test coming soon!
Saw track in the thumbnail, had to watch
Lots of wittering but I'll be testing them for real very soon!
I'm really glad you've decided to go with trixbrix, I've been wanting a good review of it and you have a very good track record of explaining things well. Can't wait to see them in action!
Wow that junction looks spectacular indeed! And a great hustle hahaha... good for you!
I could've believed it, but they liked my videos so I guess it makes sense for them!
Movement at the station. 3 loops! Weeeeee!!!
Fun Australia train fact triggered by the track you want to use for the mine carts. You see actual train lines on the interstate train line in Queensland with the three tracks because New South Wales (believe same as UK gauge or standard) and Queensland (narrower because it was cheaper to build/less material)have different gauges. And then there’s Victoria that has broad gauge which is even wider but we don’t go there.
Yeah, that's really interesting!
Great brick hall this has me very excited to see the railways in the city. Could you have a old fashioned signal box and road gates.
Yes, I think I will!
It will be amazing
I do very much hope so!
It's a pity that Trixbrix is not sold in Russia. Rails from them would help me create my city. By the way, my city is called Stepnozavodsk and 120 Lego men live in it.
Hopefully there are some LEGO ladies as well, haha!
There are a lot of girls too. For example, Lucy, who has several clones. T900 Tanya - combat android. Nina is a cyborg firefighter with a cool prosthetic arm. Android cargo needs - CR600. Sora is simply a cyborg Catgirl. And there are a lot of extras for which I haven’t yet come up with a plot name and character
I’m so excited! Sorry, I’m on holiday and have been unable to watch.
It'll still be here when you return!
@@BrickHaulOClock
Exactly!
Give them a badooing ❤
Indeed!
With new room and new setup, will the (official) Orient express be making a stop in Brick Nottingham?
I have the set that inspired it: the Flying Nottsman! (Besides it probably wouldn't fit the zero gap switches!)
Exciting train video's ahead! Great haul!!
A trial very soon I think!
more track!!!!!
Oh yeah. Funky track!
BRICK HAUL O CLOCK
Woop woop!
21:55 If I remember correctly from school Brick Derby's greatest exports are cigarettes, asbestos, methamphetamine, DDT and peg legs.
Well remembered!
Could go to brick Newark and on to brick Lincoln instead.
Much better!
Great “investment”. They’ll add so much functionality.
And the junctions will all look so good too!
Do you have any trains or train cars that overhang on the sides and the track that will hit the other cars on those zero gap tracks?
Only passenger trains on this section and they should be fine. I checked, but it'll be close!
Excited to see how you incorporate this into BN 2.0!!
I'll have a trial very soon!
I hope this doesn't get you into trouble with CZcams since they would see it as paid promotion according to their terms and conditions. It's free items from a company where the items are being reviewed. I really hope I'm wrong and it doesn't affect your channels.
I think they let you know if it's an issue!
Big Brother is watching you.
Always!
I used to be a lego purest but I 100% changed that mind set so long as they are making things lego refuses to or can't make or in this one's case they are just feeling a gap lego themselves can't meet at the current time but also it doesn't hurt lego to have a little competition I still say lego should target the train fans like model train companies do and sell the locomotives separately from the cars that way they can lower the cost per set or add more details to the sets cause your not trying to make a full train in X amount of brick count also splitting them up alows people to buy more of what they want
Ahh, slippery slope towards sponsored videos? Just kidding, appreciate the transparency. But you did actually make me think about this track for my city. P.S. Brick Nottingham would really look good with a MONSTER CROSSOVER!😅
I'd love sponsorship but I only get offers from fake LEGO brands and other weird stuff!
@@BrickHaulOClock The proper response to such insulting offers would be mailing them an arrow. The tiny one ofc.
"EVERYONE hates Brick-Derby!" 😄
Tell me about it!
Are you considering going up and down some hills with your train track? Or is that too complicated to realise?
I have the subway and monorail for height differentials. It takes a lot more space to change a train's height than you might think, for not much gain either, in my view!
@@BrickHaulOClock You might want to check out this guy's layout who raised the train track on the left hand side (czcams.com/video/COWBbnyH3Jo/video.html). - I think it doesn't take up extra space and having the train disappear and reappear behind the mountains adds a lot of interest. Of course that would mean that you also need to build some hills/mountains and we all know how many bricks that needs. 😀
Trixbrix is both 3-d printed and mould injected like lego
Indeed it is!
@@BrickHaulOClock I’m much like you a purist but I have these chaps a go and well I love it!
Fantastic video sir
So nice of you!
Are you going to light the city up too?
Haha, no. I'm not a fan of all the wires everywhere. I had a kit once and couldn't even finish putting it on the set as it was so ugly close up!
Every time that you talk about brick derby , I think about create a youtube channel name "sherrif of nottinham bricks" and built the brick derby city.....
As long as you do a bad job. Brick Derby needs to be a dump, haha!
Now you'll expect never to pay for anything because you're a famous influencer 😜
Every little helps!
you mentioned few videos ago, that you was not a huge fan of fake Lego ?? what changed your mind ? free stuff=)
I think it's different when Lego offers zero options, and the only option is 3rd-party. The term "fake Lego" should be reserved for brands that are copying Lego products; brands that are transparent and just make Lego-compatible stuff like TrixBrix shouldn't be called "fake".
Well there's fake LEGO and fake LEGO... Ideally there'd be an official option but there isn't, haha!
Robin buying FAKE Lego, what?! 😱
How standards have fallen!
@TrixBrix comment on this video plz
I'll send them links once I've done the trains on the track video soon!
