You can increase the elevation change by having each 16 stud plate at an angle (so instead of adding one plate, increase the elevation by one plate - 1,3,6 instead of 1,2,3 plates) however, because of the angle it will not click on properly so you have to secure it another way.
New trains are expected in 2022 so besides the BB-solution LEGO might also show what they think about it hopefully. Apart from that reminds me of the eighties elevations @Bevins Bricks. Nice job indeed.
I started out very unsure about the new roads, but now I am changing all my roads in my city to the new system. After using them I find they are far superior to the old ones...In my opinion that is.
Have you used any of the new 16 x 16 'mosaic' plates (65803) for roads? I love 'em! They have any of the advantages of the road plates but you can avoid those big ugly 2 x 4 seams.
@@BevinsBricksWorld The total construct with tile is 5 plates thick. Structurally this is great but a bit rough if you aren't using some sort of mils system to raise your city buildings.
@@BevinsBricksWorld - do you have a method where the step goes on top of the pavement (which is on an incline to match the road). Would be interested to see how you would achieve this.
@@BevinsBricksWorld I just found the terms and you’re right, PayPal is the accepted method. I messaged him too but I’m sure he’s sticking with the rules. Someone’s been buying the snot out of a few bricks man! What are green 1x6 plates for? All I can think is land elevations and buildings, but it seems something more like railroad track.
You also could Build a Airport with thease new Road plates. I dont know How to use my old road plates. Does someone has a idea? Because im building know with the new plates.
Don't know where you are, but here in Europe, there are many people who do neither wish to change to the new system nor buy baseplates from other brands, so you may get good prices for your baseplates in the back-market in a few months.
@@brickmurf5049 im from Europe (germany) thank you for the tip. And yes i See know That These old Road plates cost know between 23-30€. I can sell them on ebay.
Makes no sense. At that rate you would need 20 feet to elevate enough to run another track or road underneith!. In addition, 16x16 plates with tiles on top of them do the exact same thing as the stupid new road plates.
Interesting method. I wouldve thought rocking plates wouldve had more use for elevation changes
Love it, great information on how to setup both the roads and tracks. 👏
I like it for go over water in a big city
Yes
The more I see everyone’s techniques in using the road plates the more I’m sold on them. Thanks for all the ideas
Thank You Darrel(or Daryll or Daryl but not Larry not sure which is proper) very informative video.
Ha! You didn’t mention that they are brothers, Bob!
Another great technique and thanks for sharing.
Thank you for the tip this is very useful
Thanks for watching
Very ingenious work Daryl!
Hello there
I'm making update with some of your videos. Hard time for me the last year, but i start to get legos again
Glad to hear your able to get Lego again :)
Excellent little tutorial! Those new roadplates slowly grows on me too.
Awesome tips! Very practical! 👍 😄
You should make a skyscraper out of the new road plates, using them as the floors/ceilings, I’m sure it would make it pretty sturdy.
Our a parking garage
This video helped me a lot!
Glad it helped Gustav.
Wow. Thank you for the great tip. I have wondered how people elevated their roads and tracks. Excellent and informative video. Keep up the great work.
That elevation change is way too subtle. You would need a table 10 to 15 feet long just to get any significant height increase.
You can increase the elevation change by having each 16 stud plate at an angle (so instead of adding one plate, increase the elevation by one plate - 1,3,6 instead of 1,2,3 plates) however, because of the angle it will not click on properly so you have to secure it another way.
That's insane, i've been wondering if there was a formula for this, and now I know, thanks so much
Simple
Train crossings with the new plates coming up next?

WOW !!! So really awesome 👌 !!! Loving the How To videos !! 😀
Glad you like them.
Golden information! Thanks!
Thanks for watching :)
Cool video! Might need to do this somewhere in my city someday.
Hey Daryl!!! I love this tutorial, thank you for those information!!🤩😁
Now it's Bevinized
excellent!
Could you add a scene that shows what this method looks like with the 2-by-4 tiles inserted - especially in places where they link two road elements?
I'm watching this and listening to GWAR

No I havent played with any of those yet.

My entire city is mils
Did you ever make the videos showing elevation changes with the mils and sidewalks, couldn't find it?
Sorry no I havent
Any idea how to use this ramp end pieces that comes with road plates?
I now have a ton of them just laing in the bag.🤔
Does or work on curves? Part of any elevation change on my layout would have to happen on a bend?
The most important thing will be how to build a building or make it fit the elevated road.
Try basements.
@@dascandy - was more meaning how to make the front step to the building match the slope.
As in on top of not into.
@@BevinsBricksWorld - do you have a method where the step goes on top of the pavement (which is on an incline to match the road).

Can't you use a hinged brock?
How Many studs do i need to get 12 bricks high? Should Not be to Many, i love the new system, Just works great.
Something like 12 × 3 × 16 = 576 studs?
Does that stress the pieces?
I’m looking for the video that shows the sidewalks with this slop method.?
I dont think I ever did a how to video on it, I feel like I may have done it during a live stream.
@@BevinsBricksWorld , lol , I have watched 3 live streams , have not found it yet, I will keep watching 🤪
I tried to look for it myself now and cant find it.
@@BevinsBricksWorld no worries buddy, i will just keep watching your old live streams , 🤪
😀
Nice tutorial! The new roadplates are definitely very useful, but I am still not a big fan of how they look
Hey man, is Bricklinks payment option only PayPal for ordering parts from brickcash?
Its all up to the seller but yes paypal is the preffered method to most

Wait, that's illegal!
But it does work... 🤔

You can do a max of 2 plates per 8 studs. But beyond that you will apart doing stress on the parts.
