I could never imagine that after I saw your shopping centre video back in 2014 that i'd still be watching this city evolve in 2022 while in collage. But I am here for it, so much change in my life, but your channel has been one of the few constants.
This is an absolutely incredible, and in some ways, shocking, change. I never would have expected this. But I definitely get the perspective and why. I am very happy that making these changes gives you an new jolt of life for working on the city, and I'm stoked to see what the changes evolve into going forward!
Hey Jang, Used to watch your reviews when your Jangbricks channel was starting out from 2011- 15 when I was about 9- 13 years old. Great to see you are still just as passionate about Lego, and it’s amazing how much you’ve done with your City since then, I’ve got a lot of catching up to do : )
Half of me feels like this is a very high commitment April fool's joke given the time of year this was uploaded. But on the other hand it looks interesting not having all of those buildings in place and I'd be intrigued to see how this would go.
Exciting and sad at the same time. I remember every time I took my train layout, removed it and started over or did a massive upgrade. Heartbreaking and exciting.
In-universe, would you say that the middle aisle is a lake? If so, you can fashion the places near the aisle to be lake-side areas, maybe even kind of like the Bay Area!
That first minute was really impactful. Been watching since 2013 at least and it’s so cool seeing the progress and all you’ve been doing here & your other content Super inspiring and the reason I’m becoming an AFOL myself! The wholesomeness here is my jam
lets take a moment to thank jang for all the joy he's brought us over the years. From reviews, hauls, mocs, city updates, and so much more, he has built an incredible community of people around his various channels and more recently, twitch streams. So just know we will always continue supporting you and your passion of lego
I LOVE trains. Just got into adult lego building. I had no idea someone made sets like this. Thanks for costing me money and my life Jang! This…is amazing.
This is a pretty big change, and frankly I’m a fan! Have you considered the possibility of doing a roadless city? All transportation done by train or monorail for the longer distances and just having walking paths through the city. This would open up a ton of space!
So cool to still be watching this same city years later continue to grow and evolve! I think I started watching you around the time you started your zoo. Looking forward to the future of jangcity!
Railroad conductor here, having a lead to your yard makes switching MUCH easier, good call. I will say don't be afraid to mix freight and passenger trackage. The line I run hosts both passenger (Commuter and long distance) and freight, I'll run mile long freight trains right through downtown past the stations no different than the passenger trains. One other thing from a model railroad side, avoiding the long straights RIGHT next to the edge of the scene may help create the illusion of depth if you feel you need that in the future
I love the openness of the new layout. Thanks you for continuing to make standalone videos for those of us who love your creations, but lack the free time to watch you build in real-time.
Glad you’re happy with it. That’s how I have my layout. I really enjoy the trains running along the edge at high speeds, I built in some cliff landscaping to make it more fun.
I can't believe one of the first video of yours that I've watched was the one about the shopping mall. It's shocking how much things changed, in a very good way of course.
I think with any real city, your city evolves as you see a need. I am so excited that you have a more comfortable way to be accessing your city and that we are able to see all the inner workings. Thanks Jang
Hey Jang, love the new layout! Would love to see some " RUclips Shorts" of up close sections of the city. Side note; I was wondering if you are planning on reviewing the Great Fishing Boat from Bricklink's Lego Designer Program? If you need a copy to review, I would be more than happy to loan my copy to you. Would love to see that review. Can't wait to see your next city MOC!
Urban renewal and transportation projects in real cities and LEGO cities are very similar in the amount of chaos they create. It’s nice to see you excited about the city again.
The best part is, we can always go back and watch Jang's videos of NJC's previous iterations if we want, since he has video-documented them so well over the years. Jang, I request a train-mounted camera video whenever you might feel like making us one😊🚂🛤️🚃🚅
Very exciting! Can't wait for your described tour (a la bananenbuurman). And I agree my back hurt just a little bit whenever I saw you climb underneath one of those tables to pop up from one of the holes in the centre. Keep it up!
Man I love the evolution of your city, I’m also glad you have this channel now. I feel like viewers of this channel are in for the long haul and that means you don’t have to explain your decisions as much because at the end of the day it’s your space to do with what you want and we as the viewers are all like the minifigures on the trains just along for the ride.
I love seeing how excited Jang is about having a full loop train line to show us all. I don't know a lot about trains in general but his pure joy brightens my day. The city is my favorite part of the channel and I can't wait to see how it grows and changes in the future!
I could definitely see this annoying some people, but I have always respected you and your desire to do things how you want them and not worry about what people would think of it. If you think it is going to work out and be better than I will trust that you will make it work out.
Its great so see your city again, feels like forever! I really like the Garage building between the shell station & blau haus, & the lil green truck with barrels! Gr8 to see more trains too, its like a whole new city
This is looking really good and I love you enthusiasm for the changes, I think that is one of the good things about a lego city you can make some changes and it brings a whole lot of joy.
I fell behind on this channel, I was screaming at the monitor when you started walking backwards. Crazy change! Glad to see the railway getting connected.
The new version of the city looks good, and what you say in the video about seeing things up close and being able to move around the city more freely makes a lot of sense. Thanks for showing us what you have been doing so far, and look forward to your next city video (well, I look forward to all your new videos regardless if it is city updates or other Lego related things like reviews...)
Well, you were right, Jang, mind blown! I didn't realize that you weren't totally happy about your layout, but this looks like it's going to be a lot of work, I'm sure you've pictured all of this in your head, it will be glorious!
this looks great! I hope you have a stool on wheels you can use to sit anywhere and move around (my back hurts thinking about you leaning over for so long to look at/work on the city).
Ngl I'll miss how immersive the wide shots were with an almost solid city footprint, especially after adding the "sky" curtains. However this is much more practical and probably what I would have done if I were building a city this big. I like having easy access to everything so I can play and lift off buildings to appreciate interior details and drive cars through the streets, etc. I'm happy Jang's happy.
For a second I thought you went through the effort of removing the central table just for an April fools joke but your reasoning behind it is really solid and the views are amazing so yeah, I'm sold on the idea
Sure, as if I'm not envious enough of your city 😀 I think this is a great change. Yes, you loose a bit on one side of the lay out with houses and streets now gone, but if trains can ride around in a greater arc and switch between tracks, that's always great. I understand it's different in the USA where passenger transport and cargo transport are separated, but in Europe it's very common to have cargotrains riding the same tracks as passenger trains and through the city. In the city I grew up in the railroad divided the city in two halfs: I lived in one half, had to be in the other daily, and you quickly learned at which times the passenger train came and when the cargo train. Both travelled slowly since it was near a station, but the cargo train meant you'd be late to wherever you needed to go.
A little confused on the different lines, will there be two? A freight and a passenger train 🚆? The new layout definitely looks like it’s easier to see and access everything and I’m excited for a new tour once things come together more
hey there, I am really glad you are making changes that help you enjoy the city more. I would like to ask if you'll make more content here like a review of your police station, or just stream highlights because I am unable to see them live (time zones) and I feel like I am missing out. thanks
I could never imagine that after I saw your shopping centre video back in 2014 that i'd still be watching this city evolve in 2022 while in collage. But I am here for it, so much change in my life, but your channel has been one of the few constants.
Ditto to that!
Me too man! I've been watching this city develop since I was in middle school, and I'm about to graduate from university!
Whas that in 2014??? How times flighs... 😄
College
I started watching from the exact same video.
This is an absolutely incredible, and in some ways, shocking, change. I never would have expected this. But I definitely get the perspective and why. I am very happy that making these changes gives you an new jolt of life for working on the city, and I'm stoked to see what the changes evolve into going forward!

No more crawling under the tables! Can't wait to see what you'll make of this change.
Exciting and sad at the same time. I remember every time I took my train layout, removed it and started over or did a massive upgrade. Heartbreaking and exciting.
I love hearing the excitement and enthusiasm in your voice when you talk about the changes and your city in general. It is inspiring.
I love the evolution of your city Jang. In a weird way it reminds me of the hours I've spend playing/planning simcity 2000. Very nice!
In-universe, would you say that the middle aisle is a lake? If so, you can fashion the places near the aisle to be lake-side areas, maybe even kind of like the Bay Area!
Great to see a mini-fig's eye view of the petrol station, and looking forward to seeing a whole lot more. Thanks Jang!
Agreed
That first minute was really impactful. Been watching since 2013 at least and it’s so cool seeing the progress and all you’ve been doing here & your other content
Super inspiring and the reason I’m becoming an AFOL myself! The wholesomeness here is my jam
Watching you change the city is more interesting to me than having a tour of a 100% complete city.
More Jang city we want more of the city and Mocs on your RUclips channel!
lets take a moment to thank jang for all the joy he's brought us over the years. From reviews, hauls, mocs, city updates, and so much more, he has built an incredible community of people around his various channels and more recently, twitch streams.

I’m so happy you chose to show us your beautiful mostly if not all custom LEGO world/city! I’m so inspired, great work!
So cool to still be watching this same city years later continue to grow and evolve! I think I started watching you around the time you started your zoo. Looking forward to the future of jangcity!

This was not something I expected I was assuming take some builds out and put some others in but this. WOW!!!!
Been a fan since old jang city
Great! I love the expanded possibilities for more ground level views. And you can easily imagine the empty space as some sort of channel or waterway.
I love the openness of the new layout. Thanks you for continuing to make standalone videos for those of us who love your creations, but lack the free time to watch you build in real-time.
Glad you’re happy with it. That’s how I have my layout. I really enjoy the trains running along the edge at high speeds, I built in some cliff landscaping to make it more fun.
Fantastic to see you back here and doing things!!! Enjoy changing it as it suits you!!! Looking forward to see more!!!
Legit awesome! The kind of thing we all dreamed about making when we were young Lego enthusiasts
I can't believe one of the first video of yours that I've watched was the one about the shopping mall. It's shocking how much things changed, in a very good way of course.
It's kinda crazy to think Jangs been working on this city for 10 years, absolutely beautiful creation and it's so awesome how much he shows it off
I think with any real city, your city evolves as you see a need. I am so excited that you have a more comfortable way to be accessing your city and that we are able to see all the inner workings. Thanks Jang

Great job Jang! Been here since 2016 and its been an amazing ride.
The city is getting greater and greater, truly amazing!
Your city brings so much joy to people. Thank you so much for all of the fun we've had for years, and for me, a decade (wow 😳)
It's been a wile since I've seen you (like 5yrs ) but I'm happy you still doing what you love 💙
Very exciting! Can't wait for your described tour (a la bananenbuurman).
And I agree my back hurt just a little bit whenever I saw you climb underneath one of those tables to pop up from one of the holes in the centre. Keep it up!
Nice change and I’m glad to hear you’re enjoying your city more with the change.
Man I love the evolution of your city, I’m also glad you have this channel now.

Great changes! Looking forward to enjoy the new cameratrain ride.

SO COOL!
Exciting to see such a big change. Looking forward to seeing more updates in the future
It's great seeing and hearing you excited about your city. We are all looking forward to seeing the progress again. Thanks for the great content.
I could definitely see this annoying some people, but I have always respected you and your desire to do things how you want them and not worry about what people would think of it. If you think it is going to work out and be better than I will trust that you will make it work out.
Great change! Also, these curtains look sweet, the colour gradient really makes it look like a natural sky!
Jang in literally every city change video: “I did it for the trains”.🙏
YES JANG good work friend. The Big "U" table setup is one of the best for playability
Jangbricks is one of the greatest channels. Always calm Lego commentary and creativity. The best to you, Sir!
Its great so see your city again, feels like forever! I really like the Garage building between the shell station & blau haus, & the lil green truck with barrels! Gr8 to see more trains too, its like a whole new city
As always, JANG always impresses me
This is looking really good and I love you enthusiasm for the changes, I think that is one of the good things about a lego city you can make some changes and it brings a whole lot of joy.
I believe that line of track would be called a shuntneck or possibly a headshunt for shunting off of the mainline
I fell behind on this channel, I was screaming at the monitor when you started walking backwards. Crazy change! Glad to see the railway getting connected.
Oh I love this! I mean, it was great before, but the views that are now possible 🤩 amazing!
The new version of the city looks good, and what you say in the video about seeing things up close and being able to move around the city more freely makes a lot of sense. Thanks for showing us what you have been doing so far, and look forward to your next city video (well, I look forward to all your new videos regardless if it is city updates or other Lego related things like reviews...)
Wow! Big changes but I like the thought process behind it!
I've been looking forward to this with all the recent updates to various city-related things. Can't wait to see more!
This is Awesome what a difference . So much room to move around and to see the trains easier. Love it.
I can hear the excitement in your voice Jang! Love the changes, this is going to be a huge improvement to the city!
I rode passenger rail for a decade. It shared the lines with freight, and the big freight trains came right by the passenger platforms daily.
When you were walking backwards I was waiting for you to crash into a table! Amazing work and a bold change!
10:15 that is called a headshunt
Absolutely amazing, can't wait to see further updates ☺ 👍
Fab change! Can’t wait to see more updates soon
I think its way better now, you get right in. Inspired me to think of how I can use my space even better. thanks Jang
Glad to see you get back to it
We got a passenger trainstation near here where it is fully normal for freighttrains to pass over the only rail passing by.
This is absolute madness and I love it. Very well thought out changes to New Jang City!
Absolutely incredible
Well, you were right, Jang, mind blown! I didn't realize that you weren't totally happy about your layout, but this looks like it's going to be a lot of work, I'm sure you've pictured all of this in your head, it will be glorious!
this looks great!
I hope you have a stool on wheels you can use to sit anywhere and move around (my back hurts thinking about you leaning over for so long to look at/work on the city).
This is a great idea, I can see more now.
You have demonstrated “Form Follows Function” applies to LEGO city planning. Good work.
Ngl I'll miss how immersive the wide shots were with an almost solid city footprint, especially after adding the "sky" curtains. However this is much more practical and probably what I would have done if I were building a city this big. I like having easy access to everything so I can play and lift off buildings to appreciate interior details and drive cars through the streets, etc. I'm happy Jang's happy.
I knew exactly what you did as soon as you walked.very nice modification to the city.my layout wraps around the walls.good concept.enjoy
A really welcome change!
For a second I thought you went through the effort of removing the central table just for an April fools joke but your reasoning behind it is really solid and the views are amazing so yeah, I'm sold on the idea
Definitely a big improvement, not only for viewership, but because it makes *you* happy
This looks fantastic! So glad you're happy with it too!
your new city layout is so so awesome great job keep up the good work
Absolutely amazing
Always enjoy watching the evolution of your city! Still waiting for that second skyscraper though ;-)
Sure, as if I'm not envious enough of your city 😀
I think this is a great change. Yes, you loose a bit on one side of the lay out with houses and streets now gone, but if trains can ride around in a greater arc and switch between tracks, that's always great.

Awesome!
This is amazing! I am so excited!
Exciting times in New Jang City!
Love the quality of the video Jang, the colours really pop!
Jang, you work so hard on your videos. If you wanted to take a break to spend more time on your city I think your viewers would be supportive.
Good stuff. Makes perfect sense. Function is very important.
wow that feel like it changed overnight
now old version in my mind
but this good start like the train idea too!
A little confused on the different lines, will there be two? A freight and a passenger train 🚆? The new layout definitely looks like it’s easier to see and access everything and I’m excited for a new tour once things come together more
want to do this to my city now, it's such a pain to have to lean over so much to work on something in the center
Yes Jang - U-shape rules !! Looks great man and I can´t wait for the first train ride / roundtrip 👍👍
Man, I am glad for you.
Looks great Jang
LEGO is supposed to be fun and I am happy that you are making it fun for you
hey there,
I am really glad you are making changes that help you enjoy the city more. I would like to ask if you'll make more content here like a review of your police station, or just stream highlights because I am unable to see them live (time zones) and I feel like I am missing out. thanks
