Think this could be a very helpful series for many people. Twice a month would be a nice pace I think. Look forward to more of these.

You are a good father for doing everything you do for your kids.

I have a smallish table for my city, but I have plans to expand and almost double the size, will follow this for tips! Thanks for the shout out!

Thanks. I’m moving soon so this was helpful in thinking through my new setup.

I loved the opening. I really wish we could get some rain as it was 105 today and felt like 111. Those are great tips and ideas for anyone starting out or with limited space.

Bevins Bricks sadly there is no rain in our forecast. From reading the comments during your live feeds I think this will help a lot of people. Funny though if I lined up my tracks end to end it probably wouldn’t fit on either table. :)

Hi. Been waiting for this. I too have to think about playability for my city. Still sorting through bricks but I've had an idea of a block 32 by 32 4 shops for base floor with apartment floors on top with two sides open so the boys can play with their mini figs inside. Thanks for the link on the cheep baseplates by the way. It helped alot

Thanks, I'll bear that in mind for the future. For the mean time I'm using a couple of chest of draws. Eventually it will be longer, but for now I'm keeping it small.

Thank you for this video. Greetings from the Netherlands!

Nice video and somehow I've never noticed the floor sections of colors. Love that

I’ll make sure to write these down.

Awesome thanks for the info you always give the best advice

Great timing with this, I’ve spent the last week reconfiguring my LEGO room set up...I’ve changed it 3 times and I realise I just don’t have the room here for a big city... it’s too cramped and my head is still a bit concussed from a few weeks ago and I just feel like crap when I go in there.. going back to a smaller set up until I’m in a new house with more room..i need a barn like yours..my house is overrun with boxes of LEGO, Star Wars, Transformers, and Guitars and Amps lol

I know this is 5 months old but if I had that much room besides a small LEGO City I would have a huge o gauge layout. At this time LEGO is cheaper then o gauge right now.

Hey Daryl!!! Thank you for this tutorial, that's gonna help me out!! Thank you!! Now I cant start a city..😁😁😁😁

Thanks, I decided to build my Lego town, that I've been putting off for many years. I recently had spinal surgery and needed something to do than just sitting around watching TV or sleeping and turning into a couch potato. I didn't do it before, because I basically had no room in my house to build it, because I share the house with my partner who is a hoarder and was told I could not have a second room for my hobbies. We both love Lego, he builds Technic sets, but I love the City and Creator sets. I'm currently recovering at my dad and sister's house and they have an entire basement that isn't being used, so I started setting up my Lego town there. I used an old bedroom door as a platform stacked on top of boxes and I got at least 3 rows of baseplates down and started the downtown section. I thought that I should get a few of those folding tables from Walmart to build it on, but wasn't sure what size. Now I know and I think I will get 4 of these 6 ft tables and build my town on it. The airport is going to need it's own table, because I have 9 planes in total of varying sizes. I have it set up on the floor and I can tell you, it's going to be a very busy airport when it's done.

Nice video! I think I might try to make a city soon! 👍🏻

thanks this helped alot

Something that works for me and my city in terms of trains and modulars is the modular that has the most space in the back will be used by train track for example the detectives office has a lot of unused space enough for a line of straight track for trains to run so I slide that under the track but since the Perisan Resturant does not have enough room for that I put it in a different area where it does fit.

That white table you featured, in the beginning, is what my Lego City is set on except it lies on 3 of those, and works just great.

Brilliant brilliant brilliant brilliant video awesome extra lego city. Amazing

Thank you this will help improve my small city and hopefully when i grow up i will be even better with lego!!

Good point on getting behind the table. I was planning on putting it up right against the wall. But for a kid 75cm deep is not doable.

I don't have many sets but I'm looking to build a city, I probably won't have a table to build on soon since I don't have too many sets. So for right now I'm building on the floor, and I'm getting a big building 🏢 soon. Anyways I needed help on how I could make it look like a road I don't have road pieces but I do have base plats. Any ideas?

Any issue if you double the plywood table, is it better to make a 60 x 70 or two 30 x 70s?

@BevinsBricksWorld

2 жыл бұрын

Why not just use a thicker plywood. But no there shouldnt be any issue just more weight.

i have my own table that i use for my city its a dresser and its so small in width to loop around my trains. but long enough for alot of buildings

@BevinsBricksWorld

I've done that myself before when I was a kid also and an easy solution if you still want to train is the train cannot physically run but you can run the tracks around the front of it at least for appearance anyway

How do you put on the table

Thanks for this. We live in an RV and travel full time. We managed to build a city and a neighborhood on picnic tables. But we have to take it apart to travel. Still fun though. Looking forward to following this series!

Yes this video was helpful. I am moving my city onto a new table. It is a different shape and I am still planning it. Great!

I'm not sure but it's 3 by 7 32x32 stud baseplates.

I think my capacity is to build the starting of a town, pre railway, but probably with LEGO designed buildings instead of custom making the typical pub/saloon, church and sheriff station. I think it easier to watch you live my LEGO building dreams out.

One thing you forgot to mention about LEGO baseplates: the actual size of the baseplate is 10" × 10", but the actual area covered when built upon is 10 1/16" × 10 1/16", so a table measuring exactly 30" × 70" would come up short on both sides. The width would be 3/16" of an inch too short while the length would be 7/16" too short--almost 1/2"! I discovered that the hard way when building my city from custom tables that I built. I have to add a strip of wood to both sides to make them properly support my baseplates, especially when one length of my city stretches the length of 38 baseplates. Without the modification to my tables I would end up with 2 3/8" of unsupported baseplate. I realize this video was about building a small layout, but just thought that those contemplating building a small city of their own would like to know for future planning.

Heeeeey!

Sadly my room is lot's smaller then your idea.
