Would be great if you buy two of the new Lego City harbor sets and combine the ships together to create a big container ship! Besides, you would already have two cranes to put on top of the docks!
Yes he may do a deep sea deep under warter Sean under the city I have started one under my sea .and it's dope cas. It make it look more realistic. Only problem is if. He got. Table Leg s under the table in the way .blocking the arear .
Yes .I not a fan of the new road base plate s. But thay are great for industrial. Drive way s an arear s .I got some I have yoused. For some spot s in my city yoused them for parth s an drive in arear rest my roads are the other old road plate s 😊
Hi Bricksie. The Harbour and Train yard are off to a great start! Some more cranes and stacks of containers will add even more realism. I love the idea of the cove. It will be perfect between the beach and the Harbour. I can only begin to imagine how magical it will all look when you use special lighting and effects in your photography. But one day at a time. We are all enjoying the creation of this lovely City.
I would put the lighthouse further back where you have put the gray pieces and leave more sea between the lighthouse and the edge of the table, Love your work by the way.✌
Maybe a crazy idea.. but I am from the Netherlands. We have to deal a lot with water. We have these natural dams called "dijken". Maybe you can raise the train track on the whole front do the same heigth as the train yard. I bet that would look cool. Also you can look for bike lane ideas. We have quite a few of them here😉
The Lego City Harvard is looking very awesome I'm glad you decided to raise up the play platform 3 brix I love how the Lego city is coming back to life from months when you was moving job well done brother can't wait till the next episode💯🤘💛👊🔥⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Stars
Honestly the road plates look great for that use! If you’re going to use plates and tile them off anyway, it makes total sense to just use road plates 👍🏼 also, digging the haircut man! Keep it up and I’m rooting for the oilers just for you
Before you continue with that rockwork by the beach, I hope you will consider expanding the beach by making it longer/ having more sand section in between the fishing store and the beach boardwalk, by moving the fishing store over, locating it where the rockwork has started. More space for volleyball, sand castle building, etc. is preferable, I think.
Amazing work again! The boat yard and train yard look great. If you've got them, try swapping the rail yard switch tracks from right hand switches to left hand. You'd get a nice line of switches running straight instead of the curved track you've got at the moment.
It's looking amazing! That mountain range is gonna need to be BIG. It will definitely pull the whole diorama together. It would be insane if you could put the ski slope/resort ON the mountain range, for height. Bravo, love following along!
You should def have the lighthouse at the end of the rocky cove! Would look realistic and blend well. I am looking forward to seeing all the details. It's sometimes hard to get a true picture without all these things!
You should get the new Lego delivery truck set and have it driving away from the harbor and towards the Lego store so it looks like a new shipment of sets has come in. I’m enjoying the progress!
The train yard and harbor look great, basically an industrial area. Maybe you could add a factory (maybe a Lego brick factory), and shipping containers
You should make one of those jut out piers into a coastguard hq, with the office at the end, the different boats around it, the jeep out back etc, that would help populate some of the boat yard without significant development or investment Maybe tied into the action scenes with a helicopter rescue off shore from a stranded vessel?
You should put like a warehouse in that empty space in front of the train garage with some cars and trucks driving in and out with cargo, that would make the area more industrial and accurate
Underrated; the amount of knowledge you're giving to the brick building community! Walking us through your idea process is so valuable; good and rough ideas, as well as the on the fly changes you make. Thx a ton!
It's great to see you move from project to project in this new city. The initial piers look like a good start, but I bet the more you look at them the more you'll want to space them out so you can get two boats between each set. More space for details too. I can see this area taking quite a few iterations and design changes as there's a lot of good space and ideas to work with. One point about the rails though. In a pier/dock area the rails wouldn't normally be ballasted at all. They'd be inset directly into the concrete/tarmac so that trucks can drive across them. Also, I had that crane/dock set as a kid and it was so epic when it was released. Not it looks tiny on that table.
Loving the updates...2 suggestions I have move the bait shop back a bit and add more beach in front. Also you could expand the zoo forward up to the train tracks instead of another road.
Brilliant idea to use the road plate . Looks just like a yard to me. Better to use what you have if you can than buy more and have a bunch of stuff sitting round . Tfs
Rail fan here, make sure you add a siding somewhere in the rail yard so if an engine need to be on the other side of the train cars the engine can use the sinding to go around and get on the other side of the cars Also you are using right switches for your yard use left switches and have the straight part of the switch connect to the next switch it will make a stright line with parking lines coming off it It will save space look cleaner and look more realistic
Oh man this looks amazing, keep it up! I was hoping one day you would build a massive train and boat yard. Bricksie have you ever considered building your local mall with the pirate ship in the man-made lake? Might be cool. Love your videos!
you should seperate the harbor by citizen/residentowned boats on one side, cargo on the next, and coastguard station. For your "joots" make 1 longer skinnyer ones so that your small boats can park
Last time I was at the coast, I saw waves breaking over the breakwater at a small harbour. Maybe when building that line of rocks, some transparent bricks could be built in one side to get the look of a wave hitting the outside of the rocks and contrast with the sheltered side.
Amazing job in the boatyard + train yard. I love everything. I was thinking about the city area facing the sea. What if you take inspo from those pretty seaside cities like Santa Barbara or Santa Monica in the US, or even Cannes in France. They have cute boardwalks, but also the businesses are more related to a seaside. So you can have the grand hotel facing the seaside like in Cannes, restaurants buildings if you have and so forth. Then adding a lot of palms and maybe the roads are even permanently closed from traffic and become a pedestrian Sunday market on the street. Just to add smt different. There are so many roads in the city now
Nice start. I don't know how you imagine all this! For the water near the old fish market you need the old port like with only old boat or even like a pirate boat is on show to visit
I think you should put the fisherman shacks walkway over the water back in place since it is facing the water again. Have older minifigures fisherman fishing off the back like its supposed to. Especially since you are putting up the rock wall towards the lighthouse. It needs to make a comeback bro!!!!
For your harbor I would just use the same as on the fishing store, some tires hanging in a chain off the side. I really liked the look of those tires, old school .
Looking great. Think it would be great to link the light house into the edge of the cove a bit more, currently it feels disconnected with no space to go around. Would love to see you produce some sort of Oilers MOC given your love of them.
Would love an update on your lego part drawers! I find it awesome that you gone through a lot of your parts. The damage must be a lot and hey You also might find more parts in there 😅
If your able to maybe you should add a Ferrylanding /boat ramp to unload cars or boat to tie in your floating island Mansion that you'll add in down the road.
Yaaaay finally the train yard man so man possibilities and the dock is spot on every dock i see the boats are squished together, ive only seen millionaire ships and boats having decent amount of space between eachother
Not that you need more reasons to get the new Lego truck, but if you set the road into the harbor up so that semi trucks could load freight, you could have a cargo ship unloading Lego that your trucks could deliver. Also, a roundhouse in the train yard would look super cool.
Can I suggest tileing the train tracks which are sunken instead of ballasting? Like the road train tracks in the old city. The harbour is a great size!
Bricksie, the Lego Polar Explorer sets and the new Lego Jungle Explorer sets, would really flesh out your expedition section of your harbour. For one, that sub fits better with your current big explorer ship, yet that jungle heli, fits with that polar explorer. So expend that section of your harbour, a bit and buy those sets. And yes, two ships, side by side in between two docks, is quite logical to do. And your bordwalk, at a small harbour to it, for the smaller boats, think small(er) yacht harbour, here. I think near your fairywheel, would be a good location for this. Can you figure out how to give your smaller explorer ship, a Well-dock & Moon-pool setup? Add the right submarines to them all and... Yes, setup a explorers set of docks. You are going to need to go to the Legostore, anyway, so get those explorer sets. They even give you the parts for some other great fun, like for say your Zoo or maybe your mountain or undersea settings. Get some cabinets that fit under your table, with glass doors, that would let you create a underwater world along that whole stretch of your layout, Bricksie. The only problem I see with your layout, is that you don't have a easy way to get power to the underside of your layout, not even for some under the table lights, so you don't need to grap a flashlight or so. So start thinking on that tiny problem, better you do it now, while it's still relative easy to fix, then later on, when it gets quite hard.
Again, the downtown should be in contact with the pier: you win the width of the sidewalk. The road and the train should be at the end of the block, the train working like a tram. Check croatian city Split. And your access holes should be surrounded by buildings. Chech parigian fake façades
If you move the entire seaport 1 baseplate closer to the front edge, that would give you 1 baseplate more room to place a road to the port and the countryside.
Maybe move the docks further into the water and add a road between the train yard and the harbor. That way trucks can be loaded from the trains or ships as well.
When I was watching the Oilers game last night, I thought of a great idea for a build in your city. Rogers place, you could totally build the Oilers arena, i don't know where you would put it but it's suchs a cool build that no matter where it went it would look amazing!!
Would be great if you buy two of the new Lego City harbor sets and combine the ships together to create a big container ship! Besides, you would already have two cranes to put on top of the docks!
Good idea
Good idea
Set 7994 would look the best in terms of cargo ship, plus comes with a crane 🤙🏼
Set 7994 would look the best in terms of cargo ship, plus comes with a crane 🤙🏼
Sounds like he needs 10241! That would look great here!
Would be fun to expand the layout below the table top. Do underwater scenes of sunken ships and minifigs diving for treasure
Yes he may do a deep sea deep under warter Sean under the city I have started one under my sea .and it's dope cas. It make it look more realistic. Only problem is if. He got. Table Leg s under the table in the way .blocking the arear .
wait till the city is done bro.....
I think your road plates work well with the industrial look of the harbor and train yard.
Yes .I not a fan of the new road base plate s. But thay are great for industrial. Drive way s an arear s .I got some I have yoused. For some spot s in my city yoused them for parth s an drive in arear rest my roads are the other old road plate s 😊

now tear up the harbor 3 more times! like the bridges u know ;)
Would be cool to see a small seaplane in the harbour. Looking great Bricksie!!
I would put the lighthouse further back where you have put the gray pieces and leave more sea between the lighthouse and the edge of the table, Love your work by the way.✌

You should expand the beach. It looks small now compared to the cove!.
Go oilers! Stars fan rooting for the reverse sweep.
Honestly the road plates look great for that use! If you’re going to use plates and tile them off anyway, it makes total sense to just use road plates 👍🏼 also, digging the haircut man! Keep it up and I’m rooting for the oilers just for you
I think those iron man energy blast pieces would really help with the water effects with splashing and stuff

You could use tires as bumpers on the sides of the docks for the boats and build stops for the end of the tracks in the train yard.
You should get the new Lego delivery truck set and have it driving away from the harbor and towards the Lego store so it looks like a new shipment of sets has come in. I’m enjoying the progress!
The train yard and harbor look great, basically an industrial area.
Maybe you could add a factory (maybe a Lego brick factory), and shipping containers
Congrats on the Oilers W!!!! Game 7. Most exciting game in sports. Loving the direction of the LEGO city. We’re with you!!!!
Based on your water action scene idea, you could have the Coast Guard chasing someone.
I think it would be cool if you eventually put a fence around the boat yard and train yard and add that realism!
You should make one of those jut out piers into a coastguard hq, with the office at the end, the different boats around it, the jeep out back etc, that would help populate some of the boat yard without significant development or investment
Maybe tied into the action scenes with a helicopter rescue off shore from a stranded vessel?
I love the way your town is coming along
You should put like a warehouse in that empty space in front of the train garage with some cars and trucks driving in and out with cargo, that would make the area more industrial and accurate
Every new video inspires me to continue my city (on a much smaller scale of course) and am going to do that right now. Thanks Bricksie
Metrosheving/racks on wheels. And then just stack drawers on these in your temp build area . Development looking good so far.
Love the progression of the city!!
Underrated; the amount of knowledge you're giving to the brick building community! Walking us through your idea process is so valuable; good and rough ideas, as well as the on the fly changes you make. Thx a ton!
this area will look great with some industrial warehouses and plenty of shipping containers!
It's great to see you move from project to project in this new city. The initial piers look like a good start, but I bet the more you look at them the more you'll want to space them out so you can get two boats between each set. More space for details too.

In a pier/dock area the rails wouldn't normally be ballasted at all. They'd be inset directly into the concrete/tarmac so that trucks can drive across them.
Also, I had that crane/dock set as a kid and it was so epic when it was released. Not it looks tiny on that table.
Really like the road plates for boat yard seems more industrial
Loving the updates...2 suggestions I have move the bait shop back a bit and add more beach in front. Also you could expand the zoo forward up to the train tracks instead of another road.
i really like the rotating around the city building that you are doing, feels like the city is growing every video
Brilliant idea to use the road plate . Looks just like a yard to me. Better to use what you have if you can than buy more and have a bunch of stuff sitting round . Tfs
A little Theodore tugboat MOC for the harbour would be rad!
You should really add a train turntable. That would be really cool
Rail fan here, make sure you add a siding somewhere in the rail yard so if an engine need to be on the other side of the train cars the engine can use the sinding to go around and get on the other side of the cars
Also you are using right switches for your yard use left switches and have the straight part of the switch connect to the next switch it will make a stright line with parking lines coming off it
It will save space look cleaner and look more realistic
I echo this comment regarding the left vs right switches...
The friends boat should have a scene in the dock of people loading party stuff. Balloons a cake can add a lot of fun colors
Road plates in the harbor make sense as it's obvious trucks, forklifts drive around. Don't forget the train stopper at the end of the track.
Super stocked with the progress of the harbor and train yard! It's massive! Can't wait for the final details and for it to be finished!
Oh man this looks amazing, keep it up! I was hoping one day you would build a massive train and boat yard. Bricksie have you ever considered building your local mall with the pirate ship in the man-made lake? Might be cool. Love your videos!
The road plates will allow you to place building and sheds down at fun angles, too.
you should seperate the harbor by citizen/residentowned boats on one side, cargo on the next, and coastguard station.
For your "joots" make 1 longer skinnyer ones so that your small boats can park

Loving the updates! Keep it up! A train turntable could be cool in the train yard.
Wow the harbor is looking awesome! Very exciting
you could do some moldy green on the seawall and some dark gray greeble work on it as well but the boatyard is starting to look awesome
Looking awesome!! Add a playground with slides etc near the beach
The city is really great can’t wait see develop every day.
Amazing job in the boatyard + train yard. I love everything. I was thinking about the city area facing the sea. What if you take inspo from those pretty seaside cities like Santa Barbara or Santa Monica in the US, or even Cannes in France.

Nice start. I don't know how you imagine all this!
For the water near the old fish market you need the old port like with only old boat or even like a pirate boat is on show to visit
should put the freids boat in the cove doing some fishing and have the coast gaurd boat patroling the area so you could open the sea up a bit more
So many bricks are built in! It is clever to use pizza box as a permanent storage! 🙂
You could put a rope bridge from your rock work to the lighthouse, or create some sort of rocky path to the lighthouse. That would look pretty cool
And the new city is looking great so far 👌
I think you should put the fisherman shacks walkway over the water back in place since it is facing the water again. Have older minifigures fisherman fishing off the back like its supposed to. Especially since you are putting up the rock wall towards the lighthouse. It needs to make a comeback bro!!!!
Man the Oilers have to have you going nuts!
And I really thought they were getting swept. Oilers have all the momentum now, it's their cup to lose.
Looking great so far, it's always exciting watching your progress!
Wow loving the harbor!! 😊 awesome!
Oilers doing great.... Let's hope it all ends great on Monday!!
Modular is good, you could definitely make the berths skinnier if you wanted. Can have more water, less berth and more vessels side-by-side.
Regardless, nice to see what keeps a country alive.. ship, train and truck industries, haha.
Jetty 3:17
You might could use one of the piers or the cove as a coast guard station. Looking good though. Big change today!
For your harbor I would just use the same as on the fishing store, some tires hanging in a chain off the side. I really liked the look of those tires, old school .
Looking great. Think it would be great to link the light house into the edge of the cove a bit more, currently it feels disconnected with no space to go around. Would love to see you produce some sort of Oilers MOC given your love of them.
Would love an update on your lego part drawers! I find it awesome that you gone through a lot of your parts. The damage must be a lot and hey You also might find more parts in there 😅
You should add two small fishing piers along the boardwalk
Looks great!
This is epic
If your able to maybe you should add a Ferrylanding /boat ramp to unload cars or boat to tie in your floating island Mansion that you'll add in down the road.
Yaaaay finally the train yard man so man possibilities and the dock is spot on every dock i see the boats are squished together, ive only seen millionaire ships and boats having decent amount of space between eachother
In the canal and the harber you should have a layer or a little bit of darker Grey to represent like the tide changing or the water level changing.
Could try adding some sand green, browns and tans, to create tide lines on the harbor docks
Not that you need more reasons to get the new Lego truck, but if you set the road into the harbor up so that semi trucks could load freight, you could have a cargo ship unloading Lego that your trucks could deliver. Also, a roundhouse in the train yard would look super cool.
Some road into the harbor would be nice 👍
I'm really liking the harbor and train yard. Nice progress with the city!
You should wait until the bricklink old train shed arrives before finishing your train yard. I’m assuming you bought that set
You can add an angle to the boat parking spaces it will be very cool!
Ideas for the ocean area, offshore drilling rig, cruise ship, whale watching story, sailing race.
AMAZING!
Can I suggest tileing the train tracks which are sunken instead of ballasting? Like the road train tracks in the old city. The harbour is a great size!
time lapes love the new train yard and city harbour 🍕

looking amazing really coming along keep up the great content
A cool mini figure scene could be coast guard or life guards saving a drowning figure(maybe it’s just a head on the water haha)
Again, the downtown should be in contact with the pier: you win the width of the sidewalk. The road and the train should be at the end of the block, the train working like a tram. Check croatian city Split.
And your access holes should be surrounded by buildings. Chech parigian fake façades
The beard is looking good! Keep growing it out!
awesome video jordan the harbor and train yard look amazing great job
Maybe try and add a slipway for the smaller boats and a dry dock with a half built ship or one of the old pirate ships as a museum?
You could maybe create a small pirate bay incorporated into the cove
A rescue scene in the deep portion of the water would be pretty cool. Maybe someone accidently went past the rock cove and needs saving now
A larger beach would look good with this setup. The ratio from boatyard to beach right now looks small
If you move the entire seaport 1 baseplate closer to the front edge, that would give you 1 baseplate more room to place a road to the port and the countryside.
My son says the small minifig clear elements in Avengers Tower could be used to lift the boats up out of the water in action scenes
Around the shipping docks u should put lego tires. A lot of docks r protected by old tires
Maybe move the docks further into the water and add a road between the train yard and the harbor. That way trucks can be loaded from the trains or ships as well.
When I was watching the Oilers game last night, I thought of a great idea for a build in your city. Rogers place, you could totally build the Oilers arena, i don't know where you would put it but it's suchs a cool build that no matter where it went it would look amazing!!
Work out how big that would be!
Good job 👌, Maybe yoy can use tan tiles on the boardwalk. Then there would be more color in the city. Because the harbor is also grey.
congrats on the oilers jordan!what a great day for you and the canada!
