    How often does lego change the track design? I never had a train as a kid but I started stocking up on tracks. I just hope they don't become obsolete like hotwheel tracks.

      They haven’t changed the new style in almost 20 years. I doubt they will change the new style unless they go bigger. The old styles changed because they had power in the rails but the sizing has all been the same for many years
      If they change it I would be shocked
      And there will always be used ones for resale online

    I'm 62 I thought I would start a Lego train world. I was wondering I see plastic rails and metal. Which is better and can you run any Lego train on both of them and where do you find train Lego parts and track to do scratch builds. Thank you

    • @leggomyjameso6082
      @leggomyjameso6082  6 місяців тому +1

      Hello, sorry for the late reply. You can use any train on the metal or plastic rail. They are all about the same size for wheel spacing. The metal is nice because you can run the 9V on it. The RC trains can be run on any of the track types at least the metal and the current plastic track. There is a 14V train track but it was only sold in the UK. I have some of that and those trains can only be run on that track. To buy track, I usually find bulk lots on eBay but I have a Bricklink store to sell the parts I don’t need. If you are looking for some to start I would recommend an online auction because you can get a lot of track at a lower price. Then if you want specific parts I like Bricklink and sometimes Lego has them in their pick a brick section. Have fun! Lego train worlds are awesome

    I just bought my first Lego engine today, a Maersk Engine, do all the engines run on the same track? Does Lego make extra long straight pieces. If purchase two of each of these packs would that be a good start?

    • @leggomyjameso6082

      I believe you need 4 of these for a complete loop. I have another video on my channel that shows different loops you can make with these track kits and I say how many you need and I have details in the description. Most engines fit this track. Anything from 2006 to now will fit this with the exception of the large hogwarts express. I hope this helps. Congrats on your first Lego Engine! That one is a fun set that I also have a video on

      @@leggomyjameso6082 I bought track from Lego and they limited me to three of the packs of track. I just don’t get them sometimes. I bought two packs of switches (you can never have too many of them). They come with four curves each so I should have my loop. Can I use the current motor system in the Maersk or do I have to use Power Up. Only Chinese copies of these on EBay from what I can see. I can purchase a modern train and give the rest of the pieces to my children. Appreciate your response, love your videos, and I am going to look for your Maersk Train video.

    I have two Lego trains. They are both cargo, and I got some cool ideas for like a train yard.
    1. Gravel. All. I would need is 1x1 studs that are gray and just put them under the track. Since I’m making a little job site building tracks I could have a skidsteer laying gravel or sum and the reason I came up with the stud idea is cause the curves.
    If y’all have any suggestions for my Lego train yard I’ll be happy to review them

And I’ll also be putting the Lego 2022 train station but I’ll put it in like different walls and roofs and stuff. When I get all my stuff I’ll need I’ll do it each by day and day and after that I’ll turn it into a little stop motion or sum. The reason I came up with gravel is cause the round tracks that don’t correctly fit with the baseplate.

      Yes they will work with the new RC plastic track. You can connect them but if you use the old power functions you need all metal rail for the circuit to connect and be complete. If you are using battery packs and remote controls you can mix and match and it will not matter
