What are all this rumours about Bricknothingham 2.0 ? are you moving? finally convinced your housemates to give up the master bedroom? or the living room? Did you dig out your basement? Edit now I've finished the video: Looks really nice Robin with those two trams moving, the blue one waiting and the green one heading off into the void. Really adds to the Packed&Stacked nature of your city.
What is the time frame for 2.0's start date how much longer for the mayor to finish the unveiling the Robin hood Statue. To start breaking ground on 2.0?
If you can get another switch or two you should make a double track monorail station, where the orange and red trains can both stop at their own platform before switching directions. I love the fact you have multiple trains running on the track now gives it so much more life!!
I think Power Functions is better than Powered Up because you can say have a multi-unit train where every car has a motor and you just stack the connectors so it runs off of 1 battery box, whilst with Powered Up you have only have 2 motors per battery box but they use separate channels on the controller, the problem is it's hard to get hold of Power Functions since all modern sets use Powered Up. @@RobinHoodBricks
Thank you sooooo much for showing us how you do this Robin ,especially the middle bit ,I could never get it right from your earlier video and my tram sits in a drawer 🙈 I am going to get it going again now you are a genius always thanks for sharing 😊😊👍🏼👍🏼
As always great build, electric advice, you can attach it to the roof of the (inside) saloon and the cab can be where the cable goes down. 😉 but no matter what it looks great.
Fantastic!!! I totally agree, it would be weird if you build a totally different tram for the same track! I love how busy it looks with "4" trams driving on the track! I hope Lego makes all the parts you need in a new colour so you can make a other complete one when you are ready for BrickNottingham 2.0
Yay tram 🚃 day!!! One of my favourite things. Don’t think you’ve shown the old tram in such detail before🚊. I really like the new colour red. Sounds like Brick Nottingham 2.0 will have more trams, yay bigger and better! 😮Also trains bigger too? Longer cargo!!!! Great build and awesome 2 trams on same track!👍 JJ F
I think you should move the turn point too behind the building in the corner, this would give the red train a little more run time and the orange a little less. Also this would make the stop point not out in the open. Have fun in Spain 😎
@@RobinHoodBricks wrong! Bricknottenham doesn’t do wrong! In truth I understand but it would still be cool, plus as these monorails are in essence running in the background there not going to be focused on but if you see them stop and reverse in plain sight they will then become the focal point. If it’s done in hiding you would be surprised how many people would think back and believe that the trick was you made it change colour lol
Don't forget, we need a Super Secret Police (Wooo! Wooo! Wooo!) monorail train with a helicopter pad on top and some spikes and bars and maybe even a death ray on top so they can prevent any crime on the monorail system. 🚓🚔🚨🚄🚆🚋
For the station set up, look at some of the NYC above ground subway stations. Best ones are Parkchester on the 6 line, Gunhill road in the 2 line and Queensboro plaza on the 7,N line. Can give you and idea for an above ground station for the two motorized trams. Also be cool to build like a facade of a tunnel for the green tram. For the blue tram can make it like it’s parked in an above ground depot.
You ciuld also have a monorail track that is going nowhere/unused (like the blue monorail), which has broken down. Have a few mechanics working on it and a long queue of people walking down the stairs to the bus replacement service.
Love you’re still adding to the rail systems network in Brick Nottingham. Interesting mechanics in the older sets. That’s how I discovered your channel looking for Lego train inspiration and what a wonderful time I’ve had ever since. My plan is to convert/remodel my express train set to a tram. It almost resembles the blue and yellow colour scheme of the Gold Coast tram network. Enjoy Spain.
I still think you need to make a retired tram of an older design to either be hauled away as scrap on a new train car or have it turned into a feature of the kids play area.
The new monorail looks great and using the same railway is genius…saves a lot of space! It might be fu have 1 minifig on top of each rail trying to reach the other…thry could be holding swords or sticks and at some random time might hit each other slightly… like monorail jousting 😄
loving this monorail, great work. I've been thinking about that car being pushed around sideways by the train, how cool would it be if a train was pushing a Delorean like in Back to the Future III, where Bilbo Skywalker has his car launched by a train in his quest for the Holy Grail?
Maybe for 2.0, you could have them meet at a very long monorail station which have two different colour coded ends. So the Orange monorail has orange stations, and blue monorails have blue stations etc.
What a great idea Robin! This is something that I'm pretty sure I want to do now to get 2 trains on my singular line! Thanks for sharing your tram build process as well.
Enjoying the view of yet another monorail. More transit, means more movement. Just a suggestion, you could potentially change around the battery carriage with the passenger carriage, it may improve the leaning/brushing against the tiki sign.
Would love to see that monorail line extended to go down near the fairgrounds or perhaps to the other side of the airport where the airport station could be relocated. Maybe then you could run all three of these beautiful trains at once.
Wow! I thought that after t Building the blue and green you would be apeaced. Turns out you needed a 4th one. In red and with a motor! Well done!! Looks amazing!
something that bugs me about train layouts is when the trains only have one station to go to. so what if the trams had a change over station to add more lines to the city when bricknotingham 2.0 is created?
Yeah something like that. It's made difficult by then needing at least two platforms all in the air, blocking other stuff, plus a way to get from one to the other etc. I'll see what I can reasonably squeeze in!
Didn’t think I needed another tram, but boy is it fun to see another one on the network. The red is definitely my favourite colour, much prefer it to the orange. This is very awesome, can’t wait to see the monorail is BrickNottingham 2.0! Amazing!
A question about the doodads you put on the roof for wires. I didn't know monorails had wires going on top like a train? I've never scene them like that. The ones I have scene had all the wires running under it on the track. No worries anyway. Just had never scene that detail before
It’d be interesting to figure out a alternative to motorized a monorail mod like a brick built one that uses a technic gear piece using a modern motor than having to buy a original monorail motor or 3rd party
Hello Robin..monorail .yes so so popular buy Manny old school an new school legoer s ..I hope to have a monorail for my city one day when got way biger space. Plus tram s built into my roads like Melbourne City has. 😊 Yes I have that. Caridge you have yoused the orindge one ..such a awesome city set. That's from glad I got it years back. I nerly whent to buy. The other set the blue one s in. But if got the part s. I can build more of them .as thay kinda look like the tram s in Melbourne but thay white .now days ..yes that motor you. Got. I would love one .? Do you now the. Code number. For them. Or did it come in a set ..😊
Yea that should be all good just haveing. No tram../monarail stop. Cas in my city tram s have point s whear thay go to that not got no tram stop and. Just retourn back from way thay came from...
I´m sorry, Robin, but this isn´t realistic at all. Everything works properly, no malfunctioning of the switches, nothing on the tracks that shouldn´t be there, no driver on strike, not even problems with the doors. At least put some obnoxious minifigs in there... 😁

That's one option but they're hard to get and take a lot of space. End to end on a long platform also might work. As long as we have lots of movement!
Great video, great build, great thumbnail. I think the latter really makes this video shine and get more views than average!
I think so too. I deliberately saved this for a long soak while I'm away!

Monoraillll! I'm a big fan of the consistency between the trams, definitely lends an air of verisimilitude.
Certainly does. Also a link to real life Nottingham that I appreciate!
You could have a mix for the theme they're replacing old one with new ones and they're half way through the process.
Thank you sooooo much for showing us how you do this Robin ,especially the middle bit ,I could never get it right from your earlier video and my tram sits in a drawer 🙈 I am going to get it going again now you are a genius always thanks for sharing 😊😊👍🏼👍🏼
I remembered you had issues so I was thinking of you when I included it. I hope that's enough detail now!
@@RobinHoodBricks ah thanks for that yes the video was really clear .I have got the parts out to start again tomorrow 😊
In truth you have inspired me to redo my whole city. ! Have a great holiday.

I'm hoping to fit all my trains in at once. Not all running at once, but present. Maybe!
2.0 do we see an elevated train line? 3 levels of trains 🚂 whoot whoot. Love the tram in red!
I wasn't planning for that in that the monorail is kinda my raised train already!
I think you should move the turn point too behind the building in the corner, this would give the red train a little more run time and the orange a little less. Also this would make the stop point not out in the open. Have fun in Spain 😎
Much harder to reach / rescue if something goes wrong!

add two trams in the way of each other static and even have the drivers yelling at each other to get out of the way
Love the monorail and the color consistancy. Its like riding the green line or Red line. Looks amazing and have a great time away with Mrs Hood.
Moin,
it's just brilliant to look at your city. And you can never have enough of the monorail!!! Very nice video.
Greetings Inu
Yes, you are right!

One of the improvements I want in 2.0 is all the trains out at once, maybe in sidings, but out nonetheless!
What if you had them meet behind the grocery store so it is invisible to the viewer where they "turn around?" Plus, you have stop back there already.
I just love the view of one appearing from behind there and crossing the bridge. That needs to remain unchanged!
I still think you need to make a retired tram of an older design to either be hauled away as scrap on a new train car or have it turned into a feature of the kids play area.

Loved it again. Every video you make is amazing. And always puts a smile on my face❤

Wonderful red tram Robin
Maybe you should install some coloured tram departure boards in your tram stations 🚉 👍👍
Maybe swap red and blue trains so orange and red aren’t so near. 🤷♂️
I considered that. Should be an easy swap, apart from that buried 2x6 modified plate grrrr!
Also why do the monorails still have pantographs , because they have no overhead line equipment powering them anymore
Some monorails are powered from the track but trams on elevated tracks are often powered from overhead cables, just like real life Nottingham!
Didn’t think I needed another tram, but boy is it fun to see another one on the network. The red is definitely my favourite colour, much prefer it to the orange. This is very awesome, can’t wait to see the monorail is BrickNottingham 2.0!
Amazing!
It really makes a difference doesn't it. Go for it!
Fantastic video chap
Merci!
I love the different coloured trams in the city
Wow thats so awesome!
It really is!
I love the monorail vids
Yeah, everyone loves a monorail!
You should make another motorised blue tram and connect it to the dummy for brick Nottingham MK2
monorail on a rail carriage but great system!!!
You’ll need a maintenance team to look after the monorail with a cherrypicker for access
Great video 👍🏼
It definitely looks fab in red Robin, watching from holliday in Switzerland myself I bid you and Mrs Hood a fantastic holliday!
I like Switzerland. Presumably you're skiing but either way enjoy. Look out for a charbonnade or fondue place!
@@RobinHoodBricks Actually going up mountains, hiking down and birdwatching! 😉
I love the new red tram, you forgot to place the flower garden in the city.
It's on my desk still. I need to find a ladybug for it amongst other things!
Great job
Thanks!
As someone who lives in a city riddled with trams, this pleases me.
yay another tram vid!
I want one in my city SO badly.
I feel your pain!
You should make steam monorail, (yes they were real)
Whaaaaat!
That is awesome Robin 😍! Lots of action added to your city! Red looks great! Btw, how's your Spanish 😂?
Tengo once años!
Actually all you need is "dos mas por favor"!
@@RobinHoodBricks 🤣🤣🤣 don't forget donde esta el baño?
you can strengthen the track by doubling up your track
A question about the doodads you put on the roof for wires. I didn't know monorails had wires going on top like a train? I've never scene them like that. The ones I have scene had all the wires running under it on the track. No worries anyway. Just had never scene that detail before
It's very common in European cities. Even real life Nottingham's ones do!
@@RobinHoodBricks also didn’t realise Europe still had monorails. Monorails aren’t talked about much now and are vanishing.
MONORAIL MONORAIL MONORAIL MONORAIL MONORAIL MONORAIL
Much better than North Haverbrook's!
@@RobinHoodBricks a genuine-bonafide monorail!
It would be nice if the trams wait a bit in the stations before reverse the march
Yeah, it's basic tech, but that makes it foolproof!
maybe add a small 1 stud robin hood card validater for robin hood transport card users
lego city 2.0, you plan to change it all ? MILS plate maybe
There will be lots of changes but certainly not Mils. Look at all the changes in height I get with baseplates. Far better!
I like the consistency
Me too. A fleet of trams!
Why dont you extend your mono rail were the blue tram is and have one running round the fun fair whilst the orange stays on its own route ?
Robin, would that modified three studs long plate with that that two studs jumper plate, be something in order to get the seats better lined up?
Do they need to be lined up? Never thought about it!
It’d be interesting to figure out a alternative to motorized a monorail mod like a brick built one that uses a technic gear piece using a modern motor than having to buy a original monorail motor or 3rd party
People have done it with rollercoaster track I think. It looks a bit less solid though!
@@RobinHoodBricks they look interesting but I’m thinking of just using a gear piece on the monorail trail like the monorail motor itself
The red ones go faster.
They do. Waaaagh!
Great video! Will be video an friday or not?
Nope. We'll be in the air!
What about a small station near fairground?
I think I'll save that idea until Brick Nottingham 2.0!
