What are the coloured studs and bricks for on the tracks all over the place for? Crash locations? Danger spots? Locating where certain trains have had some derailments and had to be fixed, so the studs are there to identify where to be careful when running the trains over that specific spot? I'm confused for why they are there... could you explain to me why they are on the tracks in the first place for? Was the crocodile locomotive available to run on the track or was it not there or too slow which caused some problems with derailments? And the main question I want answered.... *WHY WAS THERE SO MANY BLOODY GOD DAMN DERAILMENTS WITH ALL THE TRAINS AT THE ONE SPOT?!* I've got so many questions... questions I NEED to have the answers for...
Let me try to answer all your questions properly: - The colored studs (1x1 tiles) serve two purposes: Marking to which person this rail belongs to (several families share their rails for this project) and marking special curves for easier building (e.g., yellow=R56 cures, green=R72, red=R88 curves, ... -> these colors are used in the "building instruction") - The colored tiles between two rails (mostly 2x2 tiles) avoid unintended breaking of the rail connection. Here, the colors have no actual meaning, I would prefer to have them all in dark bluish gray as the rails, but to save money, I use some lying around bricks in various colors. When having such a large train track setup, connecting the rails is crucial, otherwise rails would break randomly and even more trains would derail - I have not tested the crocodile locomotive - The derailments/crashes with many trains at one spot are planned, as they look really cool ;). They are done right before we disassemble the entire setup, so we don't have to rebuild the tracks (but the trains of course). Btw, in two weeks, we will release a crash-only video for this train track setup
@danielstockem5886 the pillars of the suspension bridge are mainly build using 5x11 panels (lego piece 64782), and the roadway uses the 16x16 Technic Bricks (65803). These are the main parts, besides many liftarms and liftarm frames. Hope this helps ;)
I have never seen a track this big.. wow!
Wow. So huge! The biggest Lego tangled train tracks.
Amazing!
just WOW!!!!!!!
Awesome 😮
🤩

@@Tegowalik oh ok.. that makes more sense
Hello, what are these elements on the bridge pillars? 🤔
sorry, but i'm not sure what exactly you mean since there are sooo many different bridge pillars. Which pillars do you mean?
@@TegowalikI mean the pillars of the very large bridge.
