      In my hometown we have underground "light rail" and tram and all three can go over / under or on the street
      The subway "mostly" runs underground
      The light rail travels mostly above the ground between 2 cities but also underground
      and the tram sometimes goes underground, but only if it is a 2-way wagon with doors on both sides ....
      by the way, "official declaration" from our public transport provider!!!!! ;)

    On the first sight really attractive looking street but then I could not blend out gaps between plates. All looks to me rather a bit clunky that was not the case in the previous plate system. The other think is that one needs to winden the street with additional bricks to make it usable for the current vehicle lineup. In my opinion it is just sad. On the good side my vintage like 6693 or 6645 sets are actually still good for this width ;)

    So, the roadplates are already higher than the sidewalks for modulars and now that you made the road plates even higher (baseplate + 2x4 tiles below, what did you do to compensate for that with your modular buildings. They look higher. Overall 1000% stoked to use this method in my city, just not sure how you raised your buildings up.
    Thanks for making such a brilliant video and keep it up!

    The problem I’m having is how do you instal a Switch Track without ballasting the track? This system works great until you want to add a switch while keeping it even with road. You’d have to put 2x plates under the road plate then the curbs become 1 plate high rather then two and everything gets screwed up.
    If anybody can explain to me how to add Train Track Switch into a mil plate while keeping road even with track and 1x plate under road plate I’d much appreciate it, thanks.

    This kinf of new options for different types of road with new road system is great, like your great street with track. But I am still not convince of buying and using new road systems.... I just cannot stand the ugly ZigZag shape of the biggest part... I don't know... I still think, make a road with classic tiles would looks better. I know about the value/money... But still, cannot help myself, new road system looks like Junior Lego... Maybe, AFOL community can make it works, as you show us, but this is big MINUS for Lego from me...

      3. Pick-A-Brick wall at most lego stores (very limited number of new parts)

      5. Buy parts at bricklink.com (unlimited old and new parts and maybe long delivery)
      6. Check buy and sell LEGO groups at facebook?
      7. Search ebay.
      An alternative option is to be a member of a local LEGO user group (LUG) (adults only) they might have some good idears.

    What base plate is that? Is there a parts list for this road setup?

      32x32 - no parts list, since it's a pretty simple group of parts

    It’s fascinating to watch you build this road, but it seems to me to be a lot of time, money and brick for a road. I’m gonna have to pass on this due to my budget. Nice job though.

    I wonder, why the extra 2x2 studs beneath the railroad tracks? The 4x8 plates that are placed between the rails could just rest on the rails IIRC...

      Eh just extra support - I hate when plates flex because they aren’t supported below
