1:06 this hasn't been the case for a long time, with the release of the bambu X1C you can basically order a printer, have it arrive and start printing the same day. Yeah you need to learn some things like how to keep filament dry or what not to do to blow up your printer, but there is no constant hobbying to keep the printer running anymore with the newer models.

these are so cool!!! those technic holes are such a good idea

I know the feeling whenever somebody wants to see me run trains on my LEGO City there is always a crash caused by a switch set the wrong way,

Choo choons lookin different today.

what if someday it’s possible to 3d print metal molds for custom parts

the relay board to interface between the old and new is amazing, it made me laugh with the craziness of it all. feels like you are trying to interface human and alien tech lol

running the old software in a VM is genius, now it will live forever. some hobbyist could probably remake it better though

i randomly found the blue BURP piece in a bulk lot yesterday, this is the only set it came in

We call them bombcarts at my port

I never knew that Lego tracks were designed to cut power if the switches were both aligned for the same track. So, putting one switch to one track and another switch to another track would simultaneously power both power tracks. Huh. Neat! So, what if you have a yard that ends in sidings? Let’s say you have four tracks that just end, no switches or anything at the opposite side. Can you move trains out one-by-one if you align the switches to the correct tracks? (I hope that that makes sense). This also reminds me of N Scale track made by a Japanese company called Kato. Kato made their trains so that they can run directly off of the rails (no extra features needed) and as such designed their tracks so that power would be cut off if the switch was not aligned to that specific section of track. This made storing entire trains in yards very easy…though complicated if you decided to automate all of the switches.

Cheap for a reason, I guess. I like the design of the coal hoppers, but the wheel sets being a hit or miss whether they work or not is not great, not even for a cheap set.

Hi there, What about putting 2 or 3 of them inline as "backup" in case the first or second doesn't completely rerail it?

Congrats Brian! Thanks for all the great content and community you have build. I did chuckle especially in the beginning where the trains run along bins and boxes and all kind of stuff in the room. Such a relatable thing when your collection grows past a certain point. Keeping things organized can be a challenge

One looks like a yellow light one is green.

i had a similar problem with some wheels i got from aliexpress where the width of the assembled axle was too narrow. I 'fixed' them by pushing the wheels outward toward the frame then checking on the track that they were spaced at the right width. My best guess is the hollow where the metal axle should go was made about 1~2mm too deep so when fully pressed in the width would end up too narrow for the train track.

US wagons don't have side buffers?

Same motor, same problem, but no resettable fuse at all. Motor is at least 31 years old. Have tested to ensure all contacts are actually making contact. Any suggestions?

I also happened upon the Emerald Night at a point where I never expected to own it, but unlike you, I had already built a yellow and orange palette-swapped replica (but as a 4-8-4 Northern instead of a 4-6-2 Pacific) before I had got my hands on it. I'm planning on building BritishBricks's mod in dark blue because it's such a classy color, with the prototype in question being (IIRC) 4473/60104 "Solario", since that one actually wore that shade of blue in BR service

The whole Bricks & Minifigs store hype is so foreign to me, since up here in Greater Boston we've got 6 Lego Stores (Natick, Peabody, Burlington, Braintree, Providence, Nashua (best one bc not only is it the closest one to me, but 0% NH sales tax), plus the Discovery Center in Somerville's Assembly Square), but the only B&M is down in Warwick, RI right near TF Green Airport. I gotta schlep down there sometime this year

Fabulous as always. Very pleasant. No background music this time?

Hey, I just wanted to thank you for introducing me to Pybricks. I have built a system where old smartphones are put into special train waggons. The smartphones connect via Web Bluetooth to the trains but also forward the camera stream and exchange control data, so my trains can be remotely controlled from anywhere via WebRTC. You can imagine this being a big hit with kids. Pybricks allowed me to have smoother control, some special functions and overall a more reliable Bluetooth connection. P.S.: I think one of the biggest wins of Pybricks is actually the lack of the LEGO 1 kHz PWM whine because Pybricks uses 10 kHz to power motors.

Flip you battery powered bricks I am already broke

In my experience with 3rd party wheels, you can fiddle around with the exact placement of the wheel on the axle. That doesn't solve the resistance, but it takes care of the derailing issues

Any tips when buying used wires specifically the 9v track wire if the cable is original or has been replaced before? Found your videos the past couple weeks and have been non stop watching and learning, what a huge help! Thank you so much for sharing and making these amazing videos!!!

The green car looks like a old German caboose

Could the actual build of the green wagon be causing the wheel base to stretch out causing the derailments?

I was able to go to a physical blue brixx store in germany. Was great

Best practice for BlueBrixx trains is to discard the wheels and axles. And replace them with Lego wheels and 40 x 2 mm axles you can get from the big A for example. The Lego wheels are much quieter and have proper toe baring tips. The BB axles are a bit shorter than the required 40 mm. I haven't tried BB sets with the new wheels though.

Cool door design with tiles and teeth to go into the rails.

14:37 you're not going crazy - if you look closely at the wheelset that you're touching at 14:17 then you'll see that it's too short 😢

The green one is a passenger train baggage car - all of these look pretty good :))

Did the sticker stick good

The translation is "flat roof wagon 40 feet" next line is "Covered freight car America construction" second box is "Luggage trolley in dark green" the final boxs is "US bulk wagon"

To be fair, Bluebrixx have their own Tracks, and on them their wheels are working great😉

Sadly only Lego can have numbered bags in order of building stages

Dose blue bricks use official lego

12:10 FunWhole Set Spotted!

Finally a good looking box car with working brick built sliding doors

Great looking wagons! Especially the difficult to build hopper lol. The new wheels are kind of a shame…

Love the bloopers! 😂

That is Neptune beach😂 great store❤

'I use Pybricks", No explanation at all about that. gfys

Whoa, 10K, congrats! What a start into 2025! 🥳

The perfect box car has eluded me, I do lime the room on the bluebrixx model.

L dcc vid next right

Could stack a load of 1x1 or 2x2 cylinder parts the make a load of pipes.

Im not a pessimist in an optometrist..... I see what you did there.

No Gondola army update? Kidding

Congrats! Loved this video and especially enjoyed the bloopers at the end!
