Hi Robin Hood Bricks! I m glad you enjoyed building the Old train Engine Shed and I must thank you for your honest feedback! I appreciate it a lot! Regarding your questions about for example the newspaper windows or the welders helmet... those are non existing pieces or IP related! During the design process we are giving a certain palette consisting of bricks and colors that are currently in production by LEGO. We are not allowed to use any retired pieces hence the stickers or other bricks and pieces. I hope my answer clarifies your logical questioning :) P.S. Love your Zeppelin Train Restoration Society aka Zutter Sock
Really glad you enjoyed it. It's a great home for ZTRSoc. I think I'll be extending the roof a little but I do love the detail. So happy you watched my review!
@@RobinHoodBricks Oh I cant wait to see how you will MOC it!!! It really gives me pleasure the way everyone incorporates the shed into their layouts/dioramas/cities :)
As a fun scene and useful change to the build, you could take out two of the shinier 6x6 plates of the roof and have a bit of scaffolding on the side (the side without the tracks of course haha) with some minifigs with tools and planks, as if they're fixing the roof. That way you get rid of two of the shiny 6x6's and also give you a nice way to stop the train with the IR receiver ;)
New Robin Hood Bricks train video!!! So exciting!!! I can’t wait to see how this goes in your city as well as the Bricklink Series 2 BrickCross Train Station!
@@RobinHoodBricks so exciting! It is my most anticipated Bricklink set out of the current series and the upcoming series’s. I was lucky enough to get a preorder of it the day it was open to preorders! Trains have always been a favorite so I love your channel because of all your trains in your city.
the button piece is old, set 17101 has 40 0f them. I just parted it out to my BL store. you could scan the clock and print a copy to some sticker paper to make your own rear face.
This looks amazing. I need this shed. I like the old look of it and that it is a bit run down, and of course the details are next level. I am planning to build a city when I have moved to my new flat next month. Thanks Robin for showing this on this video.
I totally agree. It may be easy to piece together without buying the set as well. No stickers but also no need to build the second track, pump wagon etc if cost is an issue!
GDay Robin, I bought the printed glass pieces and put the sticker on the back facing into the frame. That way you see the full feature from both sides.
I just marathon built mine over the weekend, definitely a nice set. There are a few minor things I would change, besides making the track more compatible. I chose not to use the window stickers, I wish they were a second clock face, I bet the sticker sheet size was limited because my other sets have the same size sheet. I don't think though that the printed windows were an option for the BLDP build palette, I wonder if the welding helmets weren't in there either. I'd like to swap out those white rails on the windows if they make some different colors other than white. That orange bit is also comes in black and has been around since late 2016, mostly technic but also came in a lot of Ninjago sets.
Love the new Old Train shed. looks perfect and for a train and lego fan you have always got me watching your videos for these exciting build. It will be exciting to see how the large trains roll past the build as they circle the track and the Zeppelin train restoration society members are working inside and out. Thank you for sharing
Visited a beautiful little abandoned train shed in my county som years ago and this reminds me so much of that one. The county museum has suggested that that train shed should be preserved and I hope it has.
If you could build 1/2 a train on one side, and another, you could do a Lego "hidden side" scene and have restoration team on one side, and Monster hunters on the other.
You could create a different level of table beneath the train shed and drop the observation pit down some so the tracks line up and it would be more accurate any way. You would think k that in the real life train shed the observation pit would have been dug into the ground. I would make it big enough to fit a minifig
This depends on the table underneath this section. It's not worth supporting everything else if only for this but if it's already lower for a bunch of things then it'll be easy!
A good/realistic solution for the height difference would be spreading the gradient over a longer distance. If it was spread over 4 or 6 track segments it would be barely noticeable and the step into the shed would be more gentle. It would take up more space though so there's always a trade-off.
14:17 if you ask him about it, he’ll tell you every single detail about it and wouldn’t spare any bit of the story. He always likes to talk about his train work stories and will spend HOURS TALKING ABOUT IT I have a suggestion for the two track transition of using the 1x2 jumpers to close the gap (I’ve tried it with both straight and curves for the modern track and the old track for testing haven’t had it in a layout yet or even ran a train through them)
@@RobinHoodBricks I bet he has a bizarre one about what he did with the leg after it was removed (I saw some post about what someone did with their foot after they had to surgically remove it, I saw it on a RUclips Reddit video)
What an amazing build! It looks stunning, love all the details and architecture style thats in it. Really looking forward to seeing it intergrated into the new layout!
I wonder if you could make a feature of that rickety door. Make it kind of broken down the middle as if they tried to close the door on the Zeppelin's nose and the nose broke the door
Idea: If your struggling to find a place to put the controllers, you can maybe have a building with like supports on top that can hold them. Maybe it can be like a corporation that produces Lego train controllers or something? Anyways just an Idea.
Thanks for sharing this build, Robin! It's not something I purchased but I was curious to see how it looked and was constructed. Look forward to seeing it integrated properly into the updated City!
That is such an incredible set, and a great looking plan you have for it (I'm kinda kicking myself that I didn't know about the BDP earlier--I'd have ordered it too!). Zutter Sock is a funny and perfectly punny name for the society, and I'd imagine they have a great home here at ye olde shed. Another possible solution for the track meetup, though I'm not sure if Trix Brix makes one, is the also third-party joiner plates I've seen to go directly between 4.5v style single rails and the modern click-together track. There's a few designs and more than a few people selling them out there. Might also be able to find gradient slope pieces.
Hi Robin Trix-Brix has a smal convertrack that allow you to convert from normal track with sleepers to old track without.... 🙂 Oh, you knew allready....
Yay more train videos!!! 🚂🚝 Looks good but not as good real Lego. I think you will need to moc it lots to make it good in your city. Set looks very big and high. Was a tiny bit surprised about no instructions paper!😯 I do like the train preservation club - how do you join? 🤣 I do think your open train shed and pump wagon is much better!!! 👍 I think it will also all look better and work when it’s in the city properly! JJ F
It looks really good - I agree with JJ. Might part of your modifications be to change the roof - creating see-through sections where the roof textures don’t match? There are some great features in the set but by the end that roof is a large mass of one solid colour and it needs some serious RHB-ing to bring it alive.
Maybe you can lengthen the shed a bit by making the windows two panes wide instead of 3. That would enable you to replace the shiny roof parts with matte ones.
If you are planning to run the active line right beside the engine shed are you going to flip the track with the pump wagon to the other side as a static display as it would be shame to loose it?
I will see what space I have but I may have to lose it from an actual track. It'll be nice to have trains running right by the walls but also another siding might work there!
You can put the track together just there will be a gap as according to my calculations if you put a plate under the separate rail it’s level and there’s a 0.5 stud gap but you can imagine its the clicity clack and works with motors and all train wheels except tram wheels so you can still use the track unless the orient express train tracks are different and if you can use somewhere else around train tracks to represent old tracks that have been replaced according to some railways or even at your construction train area great video getting excited well done and maybe you can connect the second track with the railway
Hi Robin. Instead of installing a ramp, why not adjust your tables to accommodate a gap where the inspection area is so you can build down as far as you like, much like some of your subway entrances in your current Bricknottingham?
I will have to consult the masterplan. Not ideal if everything else in that area is on the same level but great if it's already supported by bricks. Even then there's a lot of work for a small detail. We'll see!
Robin did you know that on some British trains which a crane would sometimes have a carriage to transport the work men So they can set up the crane The carriage would only have 4 or 6 wheels It would tend to be yellow with vertical black striped
@@RobinHoodBricks, how many trains do you have left? because you could make an underground siding, let 1 of the 4, or a side track somewhere, go down. You can make as many tracks as you need underground. Just think about the percentage of increase. For Ho gauge, 3% is used
I missed this set! Now aftermarket prices are too high...maybe I'll part it out via bricklink...btw awesome video and thanks for your opinions! Those helps too
maybe you could build a high speed bridge like what they did with the shinkansen? and if you want add a station that leads down to the conventional like like the akita and yamagata shinkansen
I just bought my own place and have a dedicated ''guest'' room a.k.a. the lego room. I recieved this set in the mail last week and can't wait to build it and give it it's own place in my own city :D Since you got some trixbrix tracks, have you looked into the trixbrix automation bundles? The automated switches and automated crossings really look nice and would love to hear your opinion on them.
Robin, is your central station going to be storage for all of your trains or are you going to have a sort of staging method for swapping out trains? If you were to receive a complete lego train in a brick haul would you be able to run it?
It's storage for four trains with the ability to run a fifth around the combined inner loop. I can still swap out the four but having even more sidings takes up a lot of space for such long beasts. I think seasonal trains can still make an appearance like the Zeppelin!
The pick axe piece, might be a representation of a pry bar. Because working on trains the machinery and parts go for long periods of time between service and are very heavy and made out of steel and cast iron.
Make it two side tracks, Robin, they have after all, also the Flying .....(?) to maintain as well, plus what ever other train they managed to lay their hands on. Might I suggest giving them the other train shet as well? That way they have room for wagon upkeep as well. But where to put it?
@@RobinHoodBricks I was thinking more a later build shet, there, made for wagons and so on. Like say a two or three car version of your rail zeppilin. Basically a expansion of that workplace setup, to include wagon upkeep.
I can’t remember where I saw it but I recall someone once mentioning that for a gradual/natural elevation change on tracks, you can go one plate in height for every 2 lengths of straight track.
@@RobinHoodBricks🤷🏻♂️ again it was for a gradual incline as in not that noticeable, again grain of salt, as this is from the random depths of my brain.
Yay exciting. The new Train sheed. Set. ..oh my is this your new room. Arear .😊 .. it a lovley set..it will sure suits your city. Oakie dokie. 💥👌🤗🚂🚂 Chu Chu 🚃🚃🚃🚃. Great. Vid Robin. 😊👍👍
hmmm.... some secondhands lego stores have also kinda tracks. maybe they have also in your local store in your neighborhood?? but your idea it is not bad, maybe have that store you order it. also track with different heights?
I have the Hogwarts Express 75955 which includes he train and platform 9 3/4 but it has no tracks at all. Although I suppose no tracks is better than tracks that don't match and won''t connect. I would probably give up on the inspection pit myself and use normal track, but I am not suggesting you should, especially as you have found a way to make it work.
I would absolutely buy this set if it weren’t for its exclusivity and massive price tag. I have loads of pre-grouping steam locos and an attempt at a pseudo Victorian/Edwardian branch line layout, but no engine shed.
I decided to buy a Channel membership at the Forest Legend level because I want to support you,you Are one of my favorite lego youtubers,btw i'm building city too,is called "New Brickheim"(from brick And Valheim(game))
Robin hood bricks why build a 0-10-0 tender engine named big Bertha btw use big ben bricks for the wheels and side rods btw number is 2290 also if you ever add any steep lines it would be very helpful as a banker considering that what it did on the lickey incline.
Could you not (forgive me) but cut out the middle bits of the track so you have room for the viewing gallery underneath. This would allow you to connect to your track easily.
Next video you gotta get your free train, running around the city, but you gotta have the blue cargo train in front and then put the red cargo chain behind them, and then put the yellow cargo train behind that and then all of the train cars behind
Have you started taking helium in the past couple months? I kid, but your voice has gone from whimsically high-pitched to downright cartoonish since last time I tuned in! I am not mad, just curious what caused the change in inflection? It's even funnier to go to your very first vids and contrast the dull monotone voice to the present "HELLOO YOUUUTCHOOOOB!!!!" Awesome videos, Robin!
One recent, more recent, lego pitfall, really apparent in this set is the moulding joints in the roof, the peg holder is becoming more and more and more prominent in some mouldings and km guessing lego is producing so many quantities they just lowered standards.. so many getting through with rims and stalks and marks left after the factory visible in end sets is disappointing
All moulding marks should be on the underside surfaces. Some pieces are getting better but others are not. Even worse if you have to put a sticker on top!
Oh my. She is. Lovely. This train sheed build. I'm so jally. I see training running. I so need. To hurry up an get my tracks strengthened so I can then get my train s running I got the new passenger train. Fair few weeks back. But not give it a run. An I have added a 3 Rd caridge I have custom built .for a food caridge .😊.
Yes, absolutely, bricklink is owned entirely by lego, it is produced using genuine Lego pieces, sold on a lego website, and most importantly given a lego set inventory lego number, this is as “real lego” as a minifigure themselves
I did exactly the same to join the 12volt to 9volt track yet my Emerald Night is derailing not every time but so often that its annoying. Wish Lego designers would stop using this 12volt track, there are barely any 12volt track users in comparison to 9volt...so WHY use it??? Cant wait for the Logging train to arrive, that one does not even use track pieces, just tiles and clips and is impossible to join to track...so WHY use it??? Just use 9volt track.
This is why im not a huge fan of most bricklink or designer program train sets. They dont actually build and test them . they design them and call it a day . No real world builds or running trains on real tracks. Sure you can get creative but with locomotives this is an ever bigger problem. Modern lego is a bunch of tools using them to essential have a super expensive model kit. they build it and sit it on a shelf. SO sad. Seeing all the ballast raising it to a weird level and the price....yeah ill pass.
And this is why we not a huge fan of un-informed youtube commentators, If you saw the development of this particular set online and the promotion campaign to get this set through the votes to begin with you will have seen the opposite, this was a brick built set first, not digitally designed, built into a genuine city, by an experienced and historic designer… not a fly by night fanboy with a computer. The designer ACTUALLY built it, tested it, used it… in a real world track layout with actual trains AND still works, refines and updates them.. not call it a day… just everyones needs, every single customer and user had different unique needs.. and THAT is the entire point of EVERY single lego set ever made since day… to inspire creativity and build In you. And has remained that since day 1.. none of them are built to sit on a shelf… and people presuming that….. is “so sad” Seeing all that ballast isnt “this designers” scheme to make a super expensive lego model sat on a shelf.. its a globally accepted and used scheme called lug gauge. It is the largest lego used model train system outside the official lego production track. Im glad “you’ll pass”: no understanding of the concept, no appreciation of design, totally bagged incorrect belief of the real work, real world scenario, implementation of lego concept or values. Great… just means another available set for genuine fan
Well I like it as I'm a fan of more diversity in set types. It was really interesting building something by a person rather than the from official route!
@@samwalker8893 legendary Lego designers don't make rookie mistakes as pointed out in the video. I'd say the real world results and trying to connect this to a real-world track kind of speaks for itself also you can say that this was built in a real City and maybe they did not do enough testing
@@donbot5000 no one mentioned the word “legendary” You also missed two overarching threads of the lego infrastructure : to inspire creativity and encourage self development… lego isnt to allow you to build a city of out of the box product, it is not built to be taken from the box and joined to track.. thats why it hasnt got track.. the exact same as the last bricklink program station didnt either. They did substantial testing. Nine months development went into it between acceptance and production. It was also the fastest selling bricklink product ever created.. that says enough. The designer has a city, handbuilt with over 900 buildings… it works fine there, it works fine in Robins scenario, it works fine for hundreds of other youtubers at least where it has been built, adapted (as intended) to launch creativity
That room has been ready for weeks and Still you hav'nt moved any tables into it. I'm done watching this channel until this ridiculous carpet play is over.
Hi Robin Hood Bricks! I m glad you enjoyed building the Old train Engine Shed and I must thank you for your honest feedback! I appreciate it a lot!

Ingenious, although I've got two more 8x16 tiles to fix it in a non transparent way. Maybe I'll revert to your plan in time!
New Robin Hood Bricks train video!!! So exciting!!! I can’t wait to see how this goes in your city as well as the Bricklink Series 2 BrickCross Train Station!
Yeah I think I'll try and get that on the eBay aftermarket!

It's almost like that shed was made for your zeppelin train! I love it!
Perfect for ZTRSoc!
You need to have a great train heist scene in the city now with Robin going after the bank vault car with his merry men and ladies. 😁
Maybe they separate that car like the Great Train Robbery!
the button piece is old, set 17101 has 40 0f them. I just parted it out to my BL store. you could scan the clock and print a copy to some sticker paper to make your own rear face.
Ahhh they're the track grip studs. I did know about them then. Never had one though. I guess Technic pieces are my weak area of knowledge!

What you should do for the old train shed is swap the shed and the siding next to it so you can keep it looking rundown, great job
Yeah that's the best bit of it!
@Robin Hood the orange piece is an emergency stop button. You should put a bunch of those on your GBC factory.
I think I would have, haha!
To solve the shiny roof, replace with 16 long tiles just have a slight over hang at each end. I think it will work out at 2 studs each end.
I may go a step further and lengthen the build too. However the nose sticking out is fun!
GDay Robin, I bought the printed glass pieces and put the sticker on the back facing into the frame. That way you see the full feature from both sides.
That's a great idea. I'm sure I can peel mine off. I already put the printed ones on my wanted list but they may take a while!

Very happy with it!
It's a bit messy, but the old timey rails do connect good enough if you put them on a half stud offset.
A half stuff connection isn't great for the city but I take your point. I think the messy makes it more real. Not so much my build style either!
I think Dr. Inferno might send a representative to procure this larger building for his constructs.
He is a bit crammed into his base, haha. Maybe it needs underground levels!
That looks like a great set, and makes the perfect home for your Zeppelin train! 😍
Fits like a glove. Well conceptually if not literally, haha!
Excellent video! The train shack looks amazing! I really like the atory line you've created for it as well😊.
Thank you very much. Yes it's perfect for my needs!
more trains

Keep up the amazing work
Thanks. Will do!
cool set robin, I like your last scene in where the zepplin is just outside the shed.
Yeah, maybe they're working on the propellor!

Hi Robin
Trix-Brix has a smal convertrack that allow you to convert from normal track with sleepers to old track without.... 🙂
Oh, you knew allready....
Yes it's perfect I think!
Yay more train videos!!! 🚂🚝
Looks good but not as good real Lego. I think you will need to moc it lots to make it good in your city. Set looks very big and high. Was a tiny bit surprised about no instructions paper!😯 I do like the train preservation club - how do you join? 🤣
I do think your open train shed and pump wagon is much better!!! 👍
I think it will also all look better and work when it’s in the city properly!

There are some great features in the set but by the end that roof is a large mass of one solid colour and it needs some serious RHB-ing to bring it alive.
I might wait until it's surrounded by other stuff, although I can do the roof straight away!
Wow what a wonderfull set, looking forward to seeing it improved and placed. But that will probably take a little while!
Final placement, yes. A while off!
Maybe you can lengthen the shed a bit by making the windows two panes wide instead of 3. That would enable you to replace the shiny roof parts with matte ones.
I can just lengthen the roof by for and create an overhang. It looks much improved!
@@RobinHoodBricks that probably is the better solution. Looking forward to seeing the improvement.
If you are planning to run the active line right beside the engine shed are you going to flip the track with the pump wagon to the other side as a static display as it would be shame to loose it?
I will see what space I have but I may have to lose it from an actual track. It'll be nice to have trains running right by the walls but also another siding might work there!
I think the Orange bung is from the boost Lego series 17101.
Can't wait for you to get the tables set up and begin the city...

You can put the track together just there will be a gap as according to my calculations if you put a plate under the separate rail it’s level and there’s a 0.5 stud gap but you can imagine its the clicity clack and works with motors and all train wheels except tram wheels so you can still use the track unless the orient express train tracks are different and if you can use somewhere else around train tracks to represent old tracks that have been replaced according to some railways or even at your construction train area great video getting excited well done and maybe you can connect the second track with the railway
Yes the second track will be on the main loop I think in time. Or another siding if I have space!
Lucky you, still waiting for mine to be delivered.
Wow, really? That's very odd. I hope you get it very soon!

So they can set up the crane
The carriage would only have 4 or 6 wheels
It would tend to be yellow with vertical black striped
Sounds good but I can't find a picture!
Your videos are unique 👏👏
Glad you like them!
Robin, if you extend the track to the shed a little, you could put a switch in it, to the outside track. To put an old wagon?
We'll have to see how much space I have for sidings. I want a big city too!
@@RobinHoodBricks, how many trains do you have left? because you could make an underground siding, let 1 of the 4, or a side track somewhere, go down. You can make as many tracks as you need underground. Just think about the percentage of increase. For Ho gauge, 3% is used
Hi Robin, Travis Bricks has uploaded a very elegant solution for the track transfer for the engine shed if youre interested
I've got a terminator track piece on its way so that should sort it. The second track will get fully replaced by my regular system!
Have you considered modifying the building longer you could also create a sagging on the side of the building
The more I think about it I actually like the nose of the Zeppelin sticking out. I will extend the roof too!
I missed this set! Now aftermarket prices are too high...maybe I'll part it out via bricklink...btw awesome video and thanks for your opinions! Those helps too
I think it'd be pretty easy to part out and you could miss out the second track, pump wagon and even lean-to if you wanted to keep parts down!
@@RobinHoodBricks thanks for the heads-up Robin!
Just received mine, cannot wait to get building it!
Yay. Enjoy!
maybe you could build a high speed bridge like what they did with the shinkansen? and if you want add a station that leads down to the conventional like like the akita and yamagata shinkansen
I have monorail for a raised system. I'm not sure if we have any raised rail in the UK!
I just bought my own place and have a dedicated ''guest'' room a.k.a. the lego room. I recieved this set in the mail last week and can't wait to build it and give it it's own place in my own city :D
Since you got some trixbrix tracks, have you looked into the trixbrix automation bundles? The automated switches and automated crossings really look nice and would love to hear your opinion on them.
I'm hoping to get another order in. I'm not sure about the sensors but I like the automatic points and traffic lights!
Great review Robin. Built mine last week. Excellent set indeed
It had a very different feel to it, didn't it!
Splendid video sir
Many thanks!
Fantastic video, fantastic set. Should piece it together for a build I think.
Maybe stretch it to have three 8x16 tiles for the roof and work out your track solution first, if you do!
Robin, is your central station going to be storage for all of your trains or are you going to have a sort of staging method for swapping out trains? If you were to receive a complete lego train in a brick haul would you be able to run it?
It's storage for four trains with the ability to run a fifth around the combined inner loop. I can still swap out the four but having even more sidings takes up a lot of space for such long beasts.
I think seasonal trains can still make an appearance like the Zeppelin!
You should show more pictures of your first city😊
I don't have many!
The pick axe piece, might be a representation of a pry bar. Because working on trains the machinery and parts go for long periods of time between service and are very heavy and made out of steel and cast iron.
Make it two side tracks, Robin, they have after all, also the Flying .....(?) to maintain as well, plus what ever other train they managed to lay their hands on.
Might I suggest giving them the other train shet as well?
That way they have room for wagon upkeep as well.
But where to put it?
I'll put that on a different section of track. I like it too much and they may like weird together!
@@RobinHoodBricks I was thinking more a later build shet, there, made for wagons and so on.
Like say a two or three car version of your rail zeppilin.
Basically a expansion of that workplace setup, to include wagon upkeep.
Great review, I started building mine at the weekend 😀
Enjoy. It's a big one but a fun one considering it's largely just a box. I've amended the roof and it looks a lot better with two more 8x16 tiles!
I can’t remember where I saw it but I recall someone once mentioning that for a gradual/natural elevation change on tracks, you can go one plate in height for every 2 lengths of straight track.
It's gotta be more than that hasn't it? Maybe a brick and not a plate? I don't know!
@@RobinHoodBricks🤷🏻♂️ again it was for a gradual incline as in not that noticeable, again grain of salt, as this is from the random depths of my brain.
Yay exciting. The new Train sheed. Set. ..oh my is this your new room. Arear .😊 .. it a lovley set..it will sure suits your city. Oakie dokie. 💥👌🤗🚂🚂 Chu Chu 🚃🚃🚃🚃. Great. Vid Robin. 😊👍👍
Thanks, man!
It's crying out to be 4 studs longer so you can have another Matt finish 6x16 roof, and the Zeppelin train would fit.
I agree. The roof pieces are on the list now. Maybe 4 studs, maybe 2 with an overhang!
What my mind is telling me when I see the circular patterns on the roof is that they are inset cooling fans.
They will soon be gone, haha!
Very nice review. @Robin Hood Bricks. I was too late buying it but have my own MOD version now.
Yes, fairly standard parts in the main. Might even work out cheaper, haha!
@@RobinHoodBricks Well I'm pretty sure it was much more expensive but also arguably more fun!
hmmm.... some secondhands lego stores have also kinda tracks. maybe they have also in your local store in your neighborhood?? but your idea it is not bad, maybe have that store you order it. also track with different heights?
I've not decided on the height issue. It depends what table it's on. Also you can't even see the pit most of the time!
@@RobinHoodBricks true, also i am still wondering how you convert the PicNic car to change i nyour taste but LEGO room come first
I have the Hogwarts Express 75955 which includes he train and platform 9 3/4 but it has no tracks at all. Although I suppose no tracks is better than tracks that don't match and won''t connect.
I would probably give up on the inspection pit myself and use normal track, but I am not suggesting you should, especially as you have found a way to make it work.
I'll think on it. It's not like you can see it most of the time either way!
When are you putting your tables up? What’s the hold up?
I need to do a full tour of the old room and it's boiling in there!
@@RobinHoodBricks.ahhh, understood. Looking forward to the videos.
I would absolutely buy this set if it weren’t for its exclusivity and massive price tag. I have loads of pre-grouping steam locos and an attempt at a pseudo Victorian/Edwardian branch line layout, but no engine shed.
One downside is that it's enclosed. My take on 10027 is more fun in many respects. Perhaps try that!
I decided to buy a Channel membership at the Forest Legend level because I want to support you,you Are one of my favorite lego youtubers,btw i'm building city too,is called "New Brickheim"(from brick And Valheim(game))
Wonderful to have you onboard. A Forest Legend is as good as it gets. Bravo, and good luck with your city!
Thank you for having me regret not buying it 😂
Oops sorry, haha!
@@RobinHoodBricks I have enjoyed the video so no worries!
749 dollars wow 😮
It's that what they're asking? It's be cheaper to buy one in the UK and have it mailed across. They're much cheaper on eBay here!
Robin hood bricks why build a 0-10-0 tender engine named big Bertha btw use big ben bricks for the wheels and side rods btw number is 2290 also if you ever add any steep lines it would be very helpful as a banker considering that what it did on the lickey incline.
That's a lovely looking locomotive!
The pickaxe is for digging out sunken tracks
Oh they do that too, aaaah!
We need a ztsoc club member logo!
I actually nearly did one and then thought better of it!
The orange rubber pieces came on Optimus prime as well part # 24375
Gotta get me some of those!
HOORAY MORE LGO COTENT! :D
It'll speed up past summer!
So your trains will run through a track switch without properly switching it? Minifigs might die! The horror! The horror!!!🙈
I thought that was how they were supposed to be used!
Could you not (forgive me) but cut out the middle bits of the track so you have room for the viewing gallery underneath. This would allow you to connect to your track easily.
I thought of that too
Yes, I could cut out the middle ones but not the ends as that's the bit that connects. Also imagine the comments!
boss!
It sure is!
Where can I sign up to become a ZTRSOC member??
Just send £100 to the usual POBox address!
WHEN I GET HOME FROM MY AUNTIES HOUSE I WILL TRY TO MAKE A GBC TRAIN CAR AS I HAVE LEGOS
Good man. Send me a pic!
@@RobinHoodBricks I DON'T NO HOW 2 ALSO THE TRAIN CAR WILL BE COLORFUL
Next video you gotta get your free train, running around the city, but you gotta have the blue cargo train in front and then put the red cargo chain behind them, and then put the yellow cargo train behind that and then all of the train cars behind
Have you started taking helium in the past couple months? I kid, but your voice has gone from whimsically high-pitched to downright cartoonish since last time I tuned in! I am not mad, just curious what caused the change in inflection? It's even funnier to go to your very first vids and contrast the dull monotone voice to the present "HELLOO YOUUUTCHOOOOB!!!!"
Awesome videos, Robin!
My very early videos I wasn't confident. Enthusiasm makes me higher pitched I guess. I'm a silly soul at heart!
@@RobinHoodBricks I am the same way, Robin. We love you for it!
One recent, more recent, lego pitfall, really apparent in this set is the moulding joints in the roof, the peg holder is becoming more and more and more prominent in some mouldings and km guessing lego is producing so many quantities they just lowered standards.. so many getting through with rims and stalks and marks left after the factory visible in end sets is disappointing
All moulding marks should be on the underside surfaces. Some pieces are getting better but others are not. Even worse if you have to put a sticker on top!
Oh my. She is. Lovely. This train sheed build. I'm so jally. I see training running. I so need. To hurry up an get my tracks strengthened so I can then get my train s running I got the new passenger train. Fair few weeks back. But not give it a run. An I have added a 3 Rd caridge I have custom built .for a food caridge .😊.
Yeah you need to get your track functioning as a top priority!
In regards to the window stickers...simple they WANT to to make the sets expensive as possible.
I think prints are more expensive than stickers!

Thanks for watching!
Most of the decisions by the designs and Lego are for cost reasons. Those window pieces might not be made anymore.
Very true. They were in the Ministry of Magic which is fairly recent but indeed not current!

Is it real Lego?𝓲𝓭𝓴 𝓫𝓾𝓽 𝓱𝓮𝔂 𝔂𝓸𝓾 𝓬𝓪𝓷 𝓪𝓷𝓼𝔀𝓮𝓻 𝓲𝓽 𝓻𝓲𝓰𝓱𝓽 𝓻𝓸𝓫𝓲𝓷? Lol
Yup it's real!
Yes, absolutely, bricklink is owned entirely by lego, it is produced using genuine Lego pieces, sold on a lego website, and most importantly given a lego set inventory lego number, this is as “real lego” as a minifigure themselves
I did exactly the same to join the 12volt to 9volt track yet my Emerald Night is derailing not every time but so often that its annoying. Wish Lego designers would stop using this 12volt track, there are barely any 12volt track users in comparison to 9volt...so WHY use it??? Cant wait for the Logging train to arrive, that one does not even use track pieces, just tiles and clips and is impossible to join to track...so WHY use it??? Just use 9volt track.
TrixBrix have terminator track pieces that join 12V with 9V track, i.e. one flat edge, one connection edge. I have mine now!
I was first
Kudos!
This is why im not a huge fan of most bricklink or designer program train sets. They dont actually build and test them . they design them and call it a day . No real world builds or running trains on real tracks. Sure you can get creative but with locomotives this is an ever bigger problem. Modern lego is a bunch of tools using them to essential have a super expensive model kit. they build it and sit it on a shelf. SO sad. Seeing all the ballast raising it to a weird level and the price....yeah ill pass.
I disagree, I think this encourages new innovative ways to integrate into existing builds. Guess I'm a Lego Tool.
And this is why we not a huge fan of un-informed youtube commentators,
If you saw the development of this particular set online and the promotion campaign to get this set through the votes to begin with you will have seen the opposite, this was a brick built set first, not digitally designed, built into a genuine city, by an experienced and historic designer… not a fly by night fanboy with a computer. The designer ACTUALLY built it, tested it, used it… in a real world track layout with actual trains AND still works, refines and updates them.. not call it a day… just everyones needs, every single customer and user had different unique needs.. and THAT is the entire point of EVERY single lego set ever made since day… to inspire creativity and build In you. And has remained that since day 1.. none of them are built to sit on a shelf… and people presuming that….. is “so sad”
Seeing all that ballast isnt “this designers” scheme to make a super expensive lego model sat on a shelf.. its a globally accepted and used scheme called lug gauge. It is the largest lego used model train system outside the official lego production track.
Im glad “you’ll pass”: no understanding of the concept, no appreciation of design, totally bagged incorrect belief of the real work, real world scenario, implementation of lego concept or values. Great… just means another available set for genuine fan
Well I like it as I'm a fan of more diversity in set types. It was really interesting building something by a person rather than the from official route!
@@samwalker8893 legendary Lego designers don't make rookie mistakes as pointed out in the video. I'd say the real world results and trying to connect this to a real-world track kind of speaks for itself also you can say that this was built in a real City and maybe they did not do enough testing
@@donbot5000 no one mentioned the word “legendary”
You also missed two overarching threads of the lego infrastructure : to inspire creativity and encourage self development… lego isnt to allow you to build a city of out of the box product, it is not built to be taken from the box and joined to track.. thats why it hasnt got track.. the exact same as the last bricklink program station didnt either. They did substantial testing. Nine months development went into it between acceptance and production. It was also the fastest selling bricklink product ever created.. that says enough. The designer has a city, handbuilt with over 900 buildings… it works fine there, it works fine in Robins scenario, it works fine for hundreds of other youtubers at least where it has been built, adapted (as intended) to launch creativity
That room has been ready for weeks and Still you hav'nt moved any tables into it. I'm done watching this channel until this ridiculous carpet play is over.
Proper planning prevents poor performance!
