The Zeppelin train should be parked in the shed so the cargo train can go on the outer loop. Great video as ever robin!

Robin, I highly recommend the TrixBrix double-length straight tracks. They are 32 studs long, and replace two of the standard Lego straight sections. This results in less joints, and an overall smoother ride. They are injection molded, and the quality is excellent. Thanks for doing the review of the items you were sent. I was very curious to see how the zero-gap switches would work. Carry on with your new room renovations. I can't wait to see actual city progress restarted!

Or if you wanted to go vertical (possibly a little crazy) it could be used as a merge point where a elevated track slopes down and joins with the outer loop. The elevated track could originate from an upper level of the train shed or even pass through it and join/split from another area of the outer loop.

Robin, those big ocean explorer ships, can you get a few of those hulls without stickers and some old cargoship stickers? Because you could use those hull parts to create some bigger cargoships and thus show cargo transfers from ocean going ships to coastal going ships. As for this layout, are those four tracks, your city station setup? Will you keep it like this or rotate it 90 degrees, so you have more room for this? And can you create a raised line? Because then you could run your your Zeppelin on it, for one. As for a funny, what if you made a modified Zeppelin? One that is two or three wagons long and has that shared boggie setup between them, for a better pushing power transfer? Could be the train to the airport, for one, travel in style. The yellow train, put that double car in the middle, as a mirror to the white one, it will then look better with it's lone big car, in the middle. As for your cabinets, can you mount a support plank in between them, for your crawl gap? That way you use even more parts of them, for a P&S. lol

Would give you a fun sense of scale, if you lay one of the other bigger boats are laying in the harbor. Big harbor, small harbor.

Robin, as a fellow Lego train fan, I love this design! I have a few recommendations though! I recommend trixbrix's R40 (same as original lego) for crossovers. these switches come with a little track called an R40 adapter so you can connect two like switches to form a neat little crossover. With 2 left and 2 right switches, plus some half tracks, you can form a 6 track long section with crossovers for both tracks. Trixbrix also has a 3 track long double crossover, which does the same thing. These pieces are quite pricey, with 4 of the R40 switches being around $100 USD with shipping, and the 3 track double crossover is about $60-70 USD with shipping. I would recommend the double crossover at one or both ends of the station, removing either 3 or 6 tracks. I would also recommend one of either on both sides of your loop halfway between the station. Thanks for the great content!

I'm an ex model rail roader that's gotten into lego trains. I haven't bought any trixbrix stuff, but I have cut lego switches to get rid of that silly kink in them. Your 'packed and stacked' philosophy is what model railroaders call 'compression of scale' 😝 I only have a relatively small U shaped layout for my trains...but it has a port yard and a freight yard at either end (purpose for the trains to exist), a valley, an old town, a new town, a trestle bridge and even a subway station. My passenger train runs on auto using the power functions app and a colour receiver (coloured tiles on the tracks) and stops automatically at stations and ramps up and down in speeds for the inclines. The 'game' is to manually drive the freight train between the two yards delivering goods without interfering with the passenger train. It's lots of fun. What a model railroader would call a shunting puzzle.

Or change the distance between the tracks in some places. And I think it would be great to have the zeppelin train parked in some kind of Inventors shed, since it was a prototype in real life and I think that could be a really fun build. One last thing I always suggest to city builders because I really like it: A section where the trains run tram-style on a street. I hope you might like some of these ideas too :)

I didn't want non 90 degree turns because of the cargo train. It's too long and heavy and that'll derail it. The distance between the tracks will change in the final placement, for even more density, and the street car idea is also a possibility I'm considering but not for these trains!

I'm worried about the clearance the yellow train has to get past the white one in the station. Definitely worth watching out for I also think the yellow train needs one more car to make them all the same length. Or maybe another double decker car to replace an existing one

I suppose without redesigning to make more underground visible when running it would be a waste to do a big loop like above ground. It will get pretty wild once bridges and crossing get worked in. The smaller narrow gauge had a tipper rail thing for dumping mine carts that looked cool. Having the harbor by the mine would work well so you can get multi use out of the loading cranes for shipping. Laying out the rails gives a bit of idea on critical table placement too. Maybe getting those in and then choosing a corner to work from would work? Not sure how much table space you would need to leave around the edges or cinched in toward the standing holes to maximize usage. That's got to be some trial and error to figure out.

I get what you’re saying about squeezing as much into the city as possible.

The Orient Express, Disney and Crocodile trains are 8.5 to 9 studs wide and any future “adult/18+” trains LEGO release will almost certainly be to the wider standard. You could of course run them on the outer loop with appropriate adjustments made for clearance.

It's quite similar to 60051. Anyway there will be a platform in the centre. It'll only work if shared with a tiny train!

Question: About what year does your old city take place in?

Very kind!

Do you think you will automate it at some point so that all your trains can run at once?

I do think that's cool, very cool, but it might slow me down a lot and I quite like to control them manually. Imagine all the wires and wouldn't I need a computer in there?!

@@RobinHoodBricks probably. There’s a German group (brother’s brick or something like that) who’ve automated their Lego city; lights, tram, trains and signals. Anyway looking forward to see your cargo train going round as a single train.

Can you make some other steam loco like sirea 3

That looks fairly similar to mine on Google but I do have another steam locomotive planned for later in the year. I need many parts first!

Well spotted. It'll be reappearing soon for arguably my longest mentioned but never yet done idea. Besides it won't fit here with everything else!

Done if the tracks will be closer together, away from the junctions to save space. I think we'll still have a lot more of everything though, don't worry!
