The magnets are definitely a revolutionary concept! I love how smooth it works out and makes for such a great night scene in the city.
Thanks, I just wish I could keep them in stock lol. People buy me out fast on them. I kept 20 for myself this time to use in my city though lol
@@BevinsBricks Haha, that just shows you created a great product. High demand on something is always a double edged sword it seems
@MyRandomMind especially with me about to offer some more new products soon.
@@BevinsBricks Ooh, exciting!
Fantastic! The new train yard location is great, and your road system and lighting is truly a work of art!
Thanks my friend, I have more new products coming soon as well to give people a variety of options to choose from.
Bevins Bricks is truly on another level. Can't wait for the next update
Thanks so much, trying to actually get more work done on the city lately. Hoping come spring I can post more regular updates. :)
Look forward to looking your city grow💪
Thanks, it's a slow but steady process
well, I know what I'm doing once I get around to adding lights to my city. That is such a genius idea! Many many kudos to you.
Thank you so much they can be a bit figety but using the friction pins helps a great deal.
Love seeing the city updates Daryl!
Thanks, hope to make them more often once fall gets here
@@BevinsBricks can’t wait.
I really like the magnet connectors. I'm way to ADHD with my city and love moving things around. That is the biggest reason I avoided lights.
Thanks, yeah the way most companies sell light kits was a big reason I didnt like them at first myself. But I cant get enough of lights now.
I’ve been really happy with the lighting products I’ve bought from you and the magnets are great. Just when I think I’m getting to a point to take a break lighting my city, you share an awesome option like lighting cars that are movable and totally my plan to take a break. Lol excellent job
Lol, well the bright side is the modular connectors are much cheaper to use. :) and thanks for the feedback so glad to hear you like them.
Just looks so good in the city an the magnets🤩
You are truly one of my favorite Lego youtuber😉
Thank you I appreciate that, I'm gonna work in a intersection and get more buildings placed for the next update.
What a great system you came up with. The city is looking amazing!
Thanks, hope to add several building to the display in the next update.
Great city update Daryl have a great week 👍
Thanks Nate you as well :)
Man, this is really really cool!
It must be sooooo satisfying to push those cars down and just have it work :)
Thanks, yes it's so nice to be able to just push buildings and roads together and not need to worry about wires and connections, and makes swapping sections out a snap.
Absolutely loving the lighting system. I will be sharing this.
Thanks so much I appreciate it.
man! your content is just the best, keep it up!
Thank you so much I appreciate it 😊
Your taking led lighting to a whole different level! Great Job!
Thanks, I'm always trying to think of new ways to make lighting easier.
Definitely an improvement moving the train shed. Lookin’ good. . 👍🏻
Thanks, yes much better, more open and natural
This new lighting and wiring system is an absolute game changer. Really looking forward to seeing the fruits of your labor as the city grows and evolves!
It really makes doing lights a snap, Thanks, having a lot of fun with all the new mods. Should be adding more buildings and the intersection in the next city update.
wow just wow - magnets for connectors ... truly amazing and indeed very very legendary. GZ!
Thanks so much, they will be back in stock in 2 weeks on my website.
Your attention to detail is unmatched anywhere else.
Thanks, I appreciate it. Another great builder you might enjoy is brickcraft, he is a very detailed builder as well.
Awesome city update 😁👍. Love what you did with the car lighting.
Thanks man, my plan is to move cars around and such in every city update in the future :)
Wow this is just beautiful! It's just the way it should be! Nice job!
Thank you so much 😀
Your lighting system is too good. Your city along with the German guy really are setting new levels with what you are doing.
Thank you so much and yes Brickcrafts/bobbrickman does have some amazing builds as well.
This is amazing, really cool invention, im gonna apply this also to my city, tyvm for sharing. Do you have a video how you wired the cars so clean?
Thanks, I sell everything I use as well. For a video I have one showing my police car and here is the link.
ruclips.net/video/o8LWCxIPCUc/видео.html
Very inspiring! Fantastic techniques!!
Thanks 😊
Great stuff Daryl. Hope to see updates sooner :)
Once fall gets back here and the yard work dies down a bit I'll be able to post more :)
The move does make the train station look great and raising the tracks for crossings is sweet. All the tracks where I’m from are all small, medium or large hump. Those lights add so much detail along with the tracks details. The magnetic wireless connecter was a genius creation. Looks fantastic man. Glad to see a new video.
Thanks John, hope things are going well with the new bricklink store also buddy. With the lighting products I'm blown away with the popularity of them.
@@BevinsBricks I will eventually get lights from you and it’s going great 120 orders already.
@johnevans4615 no rush my friend, now that I've started selling lighting is only going to grow😊 glad to hear sales are doing great for you as well.
Beautiful , nice work !
Thanks 😊
Wow great update! That crossing looks really good and the magnetic connectors work great at making your city modular! 😁 👍 👏
Thanks, I'm really happy with how it turned out. I'll probably post a slower video on how to make them on the other Channel soon. :)
@@BevinsBricks ok sounds cool 😎
@@BevinsBricksyou are so cool
Those modular light connectors are awesome! Wow!
Thanks :)
Hi Daryl! I am amazed at all of the new ideas you invent! You are truly a LEGO legend. Ibwill be buying lights and things for the museum from you. 🦈🦈🦈
Hi Bruce, I hope you're doing well. Before you do buy, make sure to check community tabs on Bevins Bricks World for member discount codes also. 😀
@@BevinsBricks Thanks!🦈🦈🦈
You're brilliant! This is amazing modularity.
Thanks, I have more new items coming soon as well :)
Brilliant 👏 Daryl
Thanks
A lot of work but it is worth it. That lichting system of you works perfect. And a great suggestion of the watchers to move that train shed. It looks absolute better this way
Thanks buddy, yeah after seeing so many suggest it I thought I really need to move that over and so glad I did.
That modular light system is incredible, makes me want to light up my city
Being a 30 year electrician lighting is a bit of a passion for me. It makes a city come alive, but it does also add up fast.
Looking great!
Thanks
That is some amazing lighting innovation Bevin!
Thank you 😊
The magnets are genius!
Thanks 😊
The magnet system is pretty cool. I am already using those wireless power connectors for a while to connect the baseplates to each other. It makes the powering so easy and with a magnet it works even better I think. :)
The modular connectors are a great way to do it more affordable, but I love my magnetic connectors. Trying to figure out a way to make them more affordable, so always playing with new ideas.
Bravo on the Magnetic Wiring!! 🎉
Thanks it really makes wiring a breeze
This is such a brilliant idea Daryl! I'm definitely going to invest in this system when I get my lego city up and going. Your train shed and station are amazing also. It definitely was a good idea to move the shed back. Keep up the amazing work. 👍
Thank you so much, with the lights and magnetic connectors. I'm looking for a way to get them mass produced, as they sell out so fast and take me a lot of time to solder up. But I'm beyond surprised at the popularity of them. I never thought people would like them so much.
It's looking great
Hey Yeti thanks 😊
@BevinsBricks your welcome brother
Awesome video
Thanks!
Wow, just wow! That magnet connection system is a game changer!
Thanks, I hope to have them back.in stock on my website next week. 😀
Amazing!!
These wireless lights are Incredible!! Genius Idea!
Thanks so much.
Yay I found a builder that uses the new roadplates!
Yes, I also do brick built roads as well, but the new plates are easier to use for lighting :)
What an update, your electrical system is very impressive. Keep going, your products look amazing compared to the other brand.
Thanks so much, being a 30 year electrician I have tons of ideas I am working on to make lighting more unique and easier to use for everyone.
The Lego city has come a long way, I started watching you when you were building the airport
Oh wow you have followed me for a long time then. Thanks so much for the support.
the LEDS are brilliant.!!!!
Thanks 😊
More Bevins brilliance 👍👍
😆 thanks :)
Everything seems to fit so well, good job
Thanks 😊
Looks cool.
good technic for led
Thanks 😊
This magnetic electrical connection system is awesome! I think this would also end up on regular non-Lego model railroad layouts in the future.
Oh I'm sure all companies will come out with versions of it at some point. Just a matter of time. But that's a good thing, make people think and get creative :)
Looks great
Thanks 😊
Too cool!!
Thanks
Wow, that final shot was chefs kiss
Thanks, I plan to add traffic lights more street and buildings in the next update.
Incredible commitment to get the wiring so clean and it works wonderfully. Also the train tracks are starting to look amazing ballasted. No idea why I chose black sleepers for mine. Might have to change that in the future. Great work as always Daryl
Thank you so much I appreciate it. Most people choose black for the sleepers on the track as it's usually easier to come by and less expensive so I don't blame you there. I have also seen people use light blueish grey and that looks amazing also.
Your wiring setup with the magnets is pure genius. Looking great so far.
Thanks so much, I came up with those because I was tired of having to reroute wires everytime I wanted to change something. They sell so fast I can't even keep them in stock.
There needs to be an Academy or Guild somewhere that can present you with an Award for coming up with this magnetic connection system! It's absolutely Genius! Building them into the MILS bases appears to make everything so simple. You need to file the patent application Now! 😀
Thanks, I did look into getting a patent but after talking with an attorney and them explaining the costs and how easy it is to get around the patent it's not worth trying it. As the way they explained it all a company would need to do is change the plug type or wire or installation point and i wouldn't have a case and if I was to cover all bases it would cost me roughly 1k per patent.
These new modular circuit connectors are a game changer! Right now I'm running battery pack craft lights, and that's troublesome and limited. This is most impressive.
Thanks, yeah I can't stand using batteries. It's why I use the vintage train tracks also. My lights are all ran on a usb power supply, and with the connectors and the lighting system I sell it makes lighting buildings a piece of cake :).
@@BevinsBricks that's the next step, switching to USB.
Slick!!!
😀
Wow stellar. Insta subbed.
Thanks 😊
How does this kid have only 9k subs! This is serious pro building, on like coconut bricks level. Gl with channel Bevins!
Thank you so much I appreciate it, not a kid though getting old lol, 50years :) Still mentally feel like a kid 😆 I've been an electrician for 30 which is what gives me my passion for lighting.
Awesome
Thanks
WOW, just freakin' WOW. Looking great, sir. Are you going to be building more custom buildings or putting the modulars back into the city?
Thanks 😊, I like to do a combination of both as I have every modular building ever released and love them. But still enjoy doing mocs as well. Usually my mocs tend to get a bit large though lol.
@BevinsBricks yes sir. I've been following you from my first day back into LEGO 4 years ago. But you do make some great MOCS, and I love the smaller ones just as much.
Thanks so much for the support :)
maybe, now you have more space in front of the train station and 4 tracks, make two more platforms between the tracks and a pedestrian bridge over the tracks from the train station platform to the other platforms? cast iron inspired?
It's a great idea 💡 I will need to think about it 😀
Your 1x2 brick magnetic wire connectors are a great idea. I foresee other brick lighting companies creating similar connectors once the word is out.
But I believe your wired magnetic train couplers are going even more popular once you make a video about them. I would create a healthy stock of those before making that video.
Thanks and yes I do expect other to male and offer them as well. Which hopefully with be a good thing. Maybe others can come up with a more affordable solution. On the train connectors I currently have about 50 made and trying to get another 50 and plan to include the use of them in my next city update :)
You and Brickcrafts are the best lego city builder. Please include a membership function so i can donate some money every month.
Thats a huge compliment thank you, as I enjoy brickcrafts channel myself. I will be adding a membership to my channel soon, the main benefit will be 15% off all orders on my website and free instructions. :)
2:16 what’s a wig wag?
Lights that flash back and forth are typically called wig wag circuits. Like you see at a railroad crossing and also on runway intersections.
Anyone else think this guy sounds like Jerry from Parks and Recreation?
Love the videos mate
Thanks :) never heared the Jerry comment before usually it's technoblade people say.
Great
Thanks
That's all pretty great. Do you have any plans to do any vertical magnet connectors? Like, where you can take a floor off a modular building and not have to disconnect the lighting?
I currently offer the modular building connector that does that, and it's also what I use for the cars. I am toying around with a vertical magnet but it will cost more and it will be 1 brick tall, which would make it less convenient for buildings.
I like how you used road baseplate as the base for the railroad crossing 😂
Waste not want not. I actually use road plates under most of my roads as the center pieces really do not need attached the curbs are the important parts to have studs.
@@BevinsBricks makes sense. As an AFOL, it’s always better to use what you have rather than buying something.
Yes but is rarely works that way for me lol
that modular lighting is a gigantic improvement to the potential of lego cities.
Thanks, my goal was to make lighting and wiring easier for everyone to use and understand and also keep it neat and clean. I have several other products in the works as well. 😀
The magnets for the lighting is next level….I think your system could put all the other lighting guys out of business
Thanks, but what will happen is all those companies will end up making a version of them as well if they become to popular.
That magnetic connector is genius! Unfortunately they are sold out
Yeah they sell quicker than I can make them, I just ordered more magnets today so I should have more listed in 2 weeks tops hopefully
Love your wireing system, is it available in Austria to ?
Yes, but it will be about another week before I have the magnetic connectors back in stock.
Great Update again Darrly.
Questian i saw that you MILS plate magnetic copplers are out of stock at the moment.
When will you think you can supply them again ?
Also i thought that you had a flat rate shipping cost to Europe (Belgium), what was it again ?
Thanks again,
Greetings from belgium,
Peter
Hello Peter
Yes I do offer flat rate to the UK for 17usd no matter how much you buy. With the mils connectors I'm hoping I will be able to stock them again in 2 weeks. The problem I have is my supplier runs out of them fast sadly. Seems to be an issue with several items. I will also make a post in community tabs when they are back in stock. 😀
I really really hate those road pieces
I'm thinking about getting some of the lighting kits for some of my trains, is there a way to plug your lights into a PF battery box or will I have to accommodate another battery pack onboard?
Awesome, they are great for making the trains modular. As for the battery packs, I'm hoping to have a few more options available in the near future for pluging into the Lego power packs and using button cells, but currently yes the only option I have is using aaa battery box.
How concerned are you with current drop or throughput for the full display once everything is switched over to the new modular connectors?
Well I keep all circuits at under 1 amp of draw. Not worried about current drop as there isn't enough length in any circuit for it to be a concern. The magnets are rated for 5 amps and the wire is good for 3 at 5volts. At least I have tested it at that current. But I still only run 1 amp per circuit as my power supply is rated for 1.5 amps per port. Quick rule of thumb, 100 leds is 1 amp 😉
Hey Bevin looks great. When will the skyscrapers come back to the city?
In time they are all patiently waiting to get used:)
How did you get such a large and sturdy table? I am interested in getting one for myself but at a much smaller scale.
I built it myself as I am a tradesman. I'm a 30 year electrician, but also mechanic and carpenter. Although I let my mechanics license laps in the 90s after becoming an electrician. I also have a video on my other channel on how I made this table. ruclips.net/video/-ekEBtcY7Ro/видео.html
Are you planning to create instructions for your trainstation, and sell them some day ?
Absolutely, I just finished and released the train Shed instructions. My next buildings to do are the train station and Andy Griffith Police station.
pretty sure there is now a 2x2 brick with a hole - either pin or axle
Yes, there is with axle but, didn't have any on hand.
Pinching and binding can cause greater resistance no?
(I’m only an apprentice 😅)
Yes there is added resistance with this type of connection but we are talking about 1/10 of an ohm. So even with 10 of these your now only looking at a total loss of 1 ohm. Not something work calculating for. 😀
I wish i could get 9 volt trains and tracks but besides bricklink i dont know what would be the best way to go about fonding some. All the train motors on bricklink all seem to missing pegs or so (no idea what aprt of rhe train motor that is unless its the fronts and back?)
Well honestly the best way to get the track if your willing to spend 1 to 2k is find a bulk used lot for sale on Facebook marketplace. That was how I got such a large amount. Bricklink will cost you a fortune buying from multiple places just in shipping. It is a good place to get started though. If you don't mind off brand tracks you can also buy trixbrix track as they sell 9v also. :)
When is the Field Trip to Daryl's ♥
Lol, no but I do hope to actually go to a few shows next year and possibly display as well.
flat iron building when?
I actually have about 5 floors done on a flat iron building. I need to get back to work on it. But that will be 6 to 7 ft tall when completed.
@@BevinsBricks looking forward for updates
