- Just a quick video to show the multiple layers that this city will eventually have and I have been playing around with some ideas for placing some of the larger mocs into the city.

It’s really interesting following the progress of your city. Thanks for sharing it with us! I really like the warm lighting of the city too.
@@TheGiantIsopod Thank you so much 😊
With such intrecate trackwork, every thought of getting some off brands; Trixbricks for example? The main station entrance could do with some straighter pointwork, looks like you've struggled fitting the Lego points with all the chicanes.
The castle on the hill with stone work and trees would look awesome!
There are a couple of chicanes I guess and I could probably straighten out the far points but all of the points that you can see in the trackwork including the curved points are from trixbrix. The outer curves are also trixbrix. I've mentioned this in several videos. You just can't do this sort of trackwork with Lego parts. It's impossible. The Lego points are large, ugly and give huge gaps between the tracks. As far as I'm aware they only currently make a basic straight, basic curve, basic single point and that horrible flex track.
great work
I love seeing what you are doing. Your mocs are often so good. For this one, to me it feels like the train to building ratio is a bit too heavy on train tracks and not enough space for other things. Is there a way to edit out some of the tracks? I love the old mill and the bridges look so good. Thanks for sharing.
Yes I wish I had more space. There will be a lot more buildings incorporated into the city which should take a lot of the focus off just the trains. The idea is to integrate the tracks so they flow through the city
I really like the look of the castle - I'm going to look back through your videos to watch how you built it to get some inspiration!
@@carriageofnoreturn.1881 Thanks, there's no interior to it but I was pretty happy with it at the time and I'm still happy with the general look of it.
Yeah. I am still waiting for my parts. Never had such delays before (2 months already for the last order). Lighting looks amazing in your city.
Hey thanks. Yeh I'm beginning to think my Lego parcel is lost ☹️
I think the castle here looks really good. You could try to use forced perspective to make it seem further away but bigger by leaving the upper platform otherwise empty of buildings and just add lots of small trees (size of the small standard lego trees). I don’t know if it works out, but I think a castle like that always sees to sit alone on a mountain.
@@Essie-fm3vr yeh I'm playing around with a few ideas probably to elevate it more so it's not in close proximity to more modern looking buildings. It needs to be higher. Thanks so much for your ideas 😊
Since you’re going for a degree of realism, I think a rebuild of the police station as an older style. Like if it had originally been built as the castle Regent’s guard and barracks, over time repurposed as the county police barracks and courts. Displaying strength, elegance and character without overshadowing (physically or aesthetically) the castle.
That is a possibility. I'm thinking I'm going to have to possibly sacrifice one or more large mocs to get them to work with the space I have.
