Railroad Crossing - LEGO City Update

I love your vegetation, but I'd recommend adding more color. Maybe a flower field would be nice.

He is one of the most talented builders I have ever seen! I’ll be sticking around for more updates on this city for sure.

It would be nice to add a little seasonal field for the holidays. Like a graveyard or pumpkin patch for (Fall) Halloween. X-Mas trees. Easter field. Flower field for spring. And for summer you could have a community Swimming pool. But you will have to cut a tiny hole in the table so the pool can sit ground level. Then when you need to swap sections for another holiday, and make sure it is built stong enough just to sit over the hole for the pool.

Love the design of this new city layout, but now on this scale, I think that the mountain might start to feel small, and out of place. This could be fixed by upscaling the trees and potentially tweaking parts of the mountain. It would also allow for the construction of a lookout tower or castle on the mountain, which would look cool, especially with the proximity to the rural area

You are genuinely one of the only channels I actually watch as soon as the notification pops up! It's so great watching this beauty come to life & very much looking forward to seeing future develpment!

I would love to see you try to slope the road up to the tracks. That might help make it look more natural than the big slope pieces you have on it now.

Just some ideas for inspiration: - a forest with a camp or some cabins, maybe a birch forest to make some other kind of trees - a city park with different kind of tree (japanese cherry tree, birch tree, etc.) - a lowered section in front of the village with more natural seaside, like a beach in a cove, some reef or a old creaky wooden dock - an evolving module with different festivals all around the year: erntedankfest, summer music festival, weihnachtsmarkt, etc.

In the UK they're called a level crossing. Great work as ever. Thanks for sharing.

I think adding some more farm fields would be nice. You only have one on it’s own. Perhaps some ploughed fields with a tractor etc… you can also add an orchard and farm shop

I really hope to soon see things like windturbines ( so the city has energy ) and skateparks in the city😮

Really enjoy these updates. This layout is looking really good. I did have a suggestion in the last video, but I was late and assumed it got lost in the plethora of comments. I would really love to see some abandoned railroad infrastructure like you do in real life. For example an old spur with vegetation growing up through the sleepers. Maybe even have the mainline updated with the points removed to permanently seal off the spur. And maybe the foundation and other remanence of the old goods platform adjacent to it.

the pillow to protect your knees is genius

Perfect room for some flatter farmland between the town and the city!

Add some Netherlands windmills and flower fields between the village and city - it would look so sick

100% add a second plateform in the middle ! You can had come fields with cereals or a "market gardening" with a glasshouse and fruit trees !

Best lego project ever!!

I would love to see this masterpiece live someday... Too bad I don't live in Germany

Really beautiful work. I’m in my 50’s and still love Lego and I still play with it with my grandsons.

Ive seen other people mention more color in the vegetation, in nature youd find flowers every so often or small rocks and whatnot. A sparse touch of those things would add so much to those fields of green. Either way its an incredible feat what youve accomplished, great job!

building this city is this brickcrafts passion. watching brickcrafts videos is my passion.

I think the main road needs a quaint little bicycle path or walking path if you want to connect your pedestrianized half timbered section with the main city. Seems like they'd need a car now.

Your city is amazing! I love the historic part and seeing it be expanded is increadible. If you would allow me a suggestion, the old city is currently very flat. Old town folk did not have the terraforming tools we have today and theis homes tend to accompany the slopes of the terrain. I think it would enhance your design to put at least the church on a hill, so it sits on a privileged position as it was costume on old days. Just an suggestion thought, can't wait for your next update.

My God ... this just makes me wanna dream i am a lego minifig and travel with that train ... literally dreamy.

It's not repetitive. Watching you place all the bricks for the support structure is so satisfying.

It would be cool to see a mansion added to the village!

Every-time I watch one of your city updates in just truly blown away. The amount of detail you put into everything is astonishing. It just looks so realistic. I’m really amazed. Your space is going to look so incredible once it’s all setup- I’ll definitely be adding it to a vacation destination someday!

Best Lego city on KZhead

Seeing the big open "field" of the new modules made me want to see a dirt bike path/hiking trail. Love these updates! Hope to be able to visit the museum some day.

I would love to see a Windmill addition to the little red roofed village. It looks like it is missing one

This is the most serious Lego city in terms of architecture.

Literal dream job

nice, I think you should make a small signal box next to the level crossing

Even though it was made nine years ago, I still can’t get” everything is awesome! everything is cool when you’re part of the team“ out of my Head

Ahhhh awesome! Can't wait for the gopro train tour in the new place :)

I understand why this wouldn’t be a priority, but I feel like something to hide the support beams and empty space under the mountain would be nice. Maybe even add a little mini cave system down there. As for the empty space, something a little spooky could be neat, like a graveyard, or a mysterious old shack.

I would like to see some fallen trees like logs if you make another forest, with rivers going through it that would be super nice to see.

this is beautiful wow, I wish i had the money to do something like this myself but watching things like this is always great

The road and tracks at a 45° angle look awesome

The train tracks leading from the mountain to the town actually really helps with the forced perspective and makes it look farther than it actually is

in that little middle space off that extra leg, if your layout includes any freight trains, you could create a small depot, business, or any industry that can spot a car or 2 that occasionally switches out just for that extra touch, and something simple. Could be as simple as a loading dock and freight shed for locals businesses to ship and receive goods.

"sometimes placing a car on top of something that doesn't really look good in order to hide it" - Good advice.. not only for gaps in roads xD

It would be so cool if you could make a football stadium! They add a lot of life and there are many models to choose or be inspired from❤️⚽️

I do love these updates

maybe a broke down car with tow truck? Also be cool to see a school/park! Endless options, but I think a park would be sweet. Lego had a park set in the past was sweet!

The U.S. term for those railroad crossing signs is "wig-wag". It goes back to when a railroad worker would wave a flag or lantern. They were replaced by mechanical signals that waved back and forth (like a dog's tail wagging). These became "X" signs that didn't move, but had lights that blinked on alternating sides. These days most level crossings have automated gates, so those signs don't get a lot of attention and the term "wig-wag" is probably a bit old-fashioned.

beautiful old windmill, or even harder, a sleek modern one!

I absolutely love this and the progress, I look forward to more!

quick tip on the vegetation/foliage - small groups or clusters of bushes, flowers, etc, will look far better than randomly-placed ones.

A water tower could be a nice bit of man made structure that could be off in nature to add variety, especially to an area that doesn't have much height.

You are living every Lego builders dream. Building a giant city, with an entire building dedicated to it. Keep up the good work

I recommend with that massive loop of train track you add like a bridge so you can have a longer thing of track and also make it look cool, hopefully I’m making sense

Can't wait to see what else you are going to do with all this free space! I personally think you should build the platform inbetween the train tracks, and maybe add a small bridge or a tunnel (as for metro stations) connecting the platforms. Also, don't you need bars to prevent cars crashing against the train? Railroad crossing signs are fine, but bars are also required (never seen railroad crossing without them) Keep it up!

This is Crazy... Crazy Awesome! Hope all is well with you and your family, have a great weekend!

Am I missing a work meeting to view this video? Maybe. Is it worth it? YES!!!

lego should make more of the medieval style houses you created, as always great video.

For the little train station if you want it to look more authentic you would only have one platform in the middle or one on either side, personally I think one in either side with a little footbridge would look good

I genuinely wish I had the money and space for things like this. This is a dream of a build for a Lego enthusiast like me

Best part is when he says ‘modules’

Love seeing progress on the new space! Absolutely can't wait to see when it's fully fleshed out.

Love the new city road layouy

Little brown crosses on the mountain tops? This whole layout is mindbogglingly awesome.

I would love to see a trestle bridge over a river in the forest or something. You could include different vegetation and animals and even add some rapids or small waterfalls!

I can’t believe how he does it!

For what it's worth, I have a rail crossing near-ish to me where the road actually ramps up and over the rails like that, so it's not entirely unheard of.

Build a circus/carnival! when you eventually add lights it will look incredible.

For the train station platform, instead of putting one in the middle of the tracks, you should put one on the side that is closest to you, and make a bridge over the top of the tracks! But amazing so far!

Making great use of the new space!!

7:22 - “Baby you light up my world like nobody else!“

I like the idea of a second platform between the two tracks

If you aren’t opposed to some minor electrical work, you could wire a reversing loop into your track. For model train operations they can be nice as it gives you a way to have the locomotive turn around. But it is only really useful if you want to run train operations on your layout. If you are just going to have trains running circuits around the track it is almost definitely worth avoiding the headache. Even in model train layouts where the entire point is train operations: DC reverse loops are annoying and require you bringing the train to a stop at least two times to reverse the polarity of the track. In my opinion if you did the reverse connection it would be cool but probably go unused most of the time. I think it might be better to use the landscape a different way.

Add an old abandoned rusted car somewhere in near the road. Will add a bit of mystery. Also make some hills. Might add a bit of texture to the view

You could put a small farm with a tractor and maybe a barn in the middle between the two tracks. Maybe growing some wheat in the summer. Then switch it out for pumpkins in the fall and then make it a Christmas tree farm in the winter. Just my thoughts.

The vegetation is my favorite part of your city, particularly the mountain area. Reminds me of the Stardew Valley map!

It would be Awesome! If you could add a warehouse for the trains

Love it - defiantly think doing second platform at the station would be great - especially wit a little pedestrian bridge going over to connect them

I love the relaxation your videos give to me! Keep on that good work.

You definitely need some farm animals in that gap between the mountain and town! Then possibly a river to go under the road where you need to fill in, with a bridge going over of course. I love your updates, it all looks so seamless and real!

There's a rail crossing near my house that looks like that, being raised up. My friend did a jump over it in his Celica when we were teenagers. I would say it's not unrealistic!

A river near the village would look super cool. Keep up the good work 👍

you should add a man with a lawnmower mowing the vegetation in his garden

Those train tracks behind the city can be an industrial track that goes to some sort of factory

For the airport, it would be really cool to have an elevated road and train track loop

The greatest lego city on KZhead!!!

You could build multiple train platforms and connect with one of those staircasey things you sometimes see. Looks great as always!

Very Nice Lego Railroad crossing.

A very strange thing, but Disneyland does it and I think you might find it interesting for your city as well. Try setting up "candle warmers" (it's a hot plate basically) with a smart plug that uses motion or different times as schedule and using candles that have smells of certain environmants. There are candles that smell like forest, candles that smell like moisture, like ocean, etc... I think you can hide thees around and make each area of the city smell slightly differently might be a great way to immerse people into the environment.

Railway crossings. Thats it! 😃

The two railways next to each other would make a nice double station with a bridge above, like the one from the Harry Potter platform 9 and 3/4s set

its youtube channels like this that make me realize that an earthquake is a lego collector/builders worst nightmare

i drive past a railroad track like this almost every single day. we've got a pretty decent bump as opposed to "normal"

Instead of changing the height of the train tracks, you could easily divide the road and add 1x1 plates under the road creating a ramp until it is at the correct height.

I always feel entertained when I watch your videos. You're a very creative person. Keep up the great work!

I think you should add pond and well to the old town for water needs❤️❤️

You're such a creative, and intelligent person.

Even though I watch your city updates on your German channel, I still like to rewatch them on this channel. Why? Because why not. I love your content! Liebe Grüße aus Wien.

What an incredible Lego experience. I think that river would benefit greatly from having a gold paner or prospector. Perhaps with a small camp nearby. ❤❤❤🇨🇦

Always excited to see each weeks progress.

i love the ideas. i also have i suggestion. Maby on the right side of the hole city so after the big train tunnel, you can make a mountain with a ski resort. That would be very cool. Love your videos keep it up💪

You could add a hill between the two train track and over the hill you could put a flower field

This is awesome! I am so impatient to see what the future holds.
