Suggestion: would remove the hospital from the new location, and using the side door of the coffee shop at the station, would place a terrace with some tables.
I agree. Also the ambulance loading area is right next to the train tracks so I feel like if it were to stay then there should be a fence or barrier of some sort
Honestly the hospital as a build is just a bit out of place. Really hope Lego make an official modular at some point as we have a fire station and police station
I agree with the hospital placement, the other thing is the ambulance drop-off would have a way in and out, normally one way, currently has limited capacity if you were thinking of making it close to realistic this would need changing
I would move the hospital to a different location, maybe create more parking or an extension to the cafe on the side of the station. Also, in the 2 base plate gap in the middle you could build an outside basketball court, with an entry way from the street in the half base plate gap in the buildings.
I don't like that the plain wall is facing the open area that we see the most, I am sure it would be a lot of work, but almost thinking that flipping where the storefronts are so that the cafe faces us, and has the alt mod of it where you put in a bigger patio/music stage in would work really well. In terms of where in the city its great!
I think you should switch both side parts of the station. So the waffle shop on the left side, so you have a more beautiful view and maybe make the terrace a little bit bigger. And the new paper stand is just a wall so that can be on the hospital side.
The Brickcross Train station next to the high density downtown buildings is good land use and transportation planning. That arrangement is known as transit oriented development. Good planning Jordan!
Fantastic progress! So here’s an idea for the area and space behind buildings that are mostly hidden, that’s a great place to put a basketball court or something.
Hi Bricksie and Jose. Thanks for this delightful update on the City. The placement of the Brick Cross Train Station is perfect! And all of the other modifications now make so much sense. I'm so glad you didn't have to rip up the beach, as it is so lovely and there are so many stories you have created. Enjoy your evening. Hot chocolate sounds like a good idea.
I love everything you do. I'm confident you will find the perfect place for the train station. Right now, it looks too out of scale with other buildings. I think if you want to keep it in the city you will need to increase the height by as much as six bricks. I also think that the big city block you made hides too much of all the great work that you've done behind it. I don't have any easy suggestions for you. I can't wait to see what you come up with.
For the two empty base plates in the middle, I would put in a parking garage. You'd have to take out a half base plate along the front road as an entrance, but it would give you somewhere to put all your excess vehicles. Plus, there theoretically should be more parking downtown. Other than a small area facing the street, it wouldn't need much detail.
I really like the placement of the train station. My only comment is to do with the “s” shaped curve it creates in the read to get to the zoo. Could slide the hospital down one base plate and just extend the road and only have 1 curve? You’d need to move the Jazz club to the right and have the road right along your access hole. This also gives you room in between the train station and hospital to add a buffer building or some of the other recommendations in some of the other posts.
Love the new placement of the modulars with corner garage and police station front and center, such beautiful buildings need prime placement like that!
Coming from Europe, I don't really understand the whole Marvel thing either... its like putting a mediaeval section in the city from my point of view. . Marvel doesn't mean much to us in Europe... we have history for that sort of thing...
The tall buildings look great there Bricksie as it hides one of the open holes from the front view. A courtyard park inside the gap of the tall buildings sounds good. ❤
That front Street looks excellent! Really love the big buildings all together makes it look grand. Great changes! Suggestion for that little corner sliver between the tracks and new station, would make a great little subway entrance.
Yeah, that's walkable from the station to the zoo and beach. And having it there DOES make it more accessible for the rest of that part of downtown. It nicely rounds out the one touristy area and has another station nearish the other touristy area. That makes sense. I might add a sidewalk to connect it to the boardwalk, but they can walk around the hospital to accomplish the same thing. Looks great! And I like the idea of a secret garden!
in that empty space across from the hospital, it would be cool to build an empty lot with a diy baseball field surrounded by tallish buildings like on the show hey arnold!
Sports court or a old cafe would be cool. Any storytelling scene might work as well. Any out of place scenario, aka a movie set in that court. Plenty to kindle your imagination and bring home a small side project. 😅
I find your videos so relaxing and educational. You’re very systematic and thorough with your audio commentary. Thanks for having an awesome channel for us to enjoy.
You could make the park on the interior some kind of sporting event. That is one element your city is missing right now and would add an interesting story.
I loved this video! The iterations of trail and error, checking and adjusting, and continuous improvement was all demonstrated for aspiring lego city buillders ❤❤❤
That open space next to the train would be peak real estate for a super luxury condo building as it overlooks the beach and is right next to the train for commuting. Would be awesome to see you build a luxury apartment building there.
I also got the brickcross station. I put another 32x32 baseplate next to the cafe section, extended that and I am in the process of making a subway entrance/walking garden. I think for your station, making it more of a transportation point. So on the left side of the building you could add a bus stop. I don’t think the hospital works in that spot so moving would be my next step
I really like the location of the Trainstation. It make sense to have public transportation service in that end of town as well. One thing I wonder about, that i couldn't really see in the video. Instead of two corner roadplates, would it be possible to just extend the road to the accesshole and just have one corne. Thought that might look nicer. Then there would also be 2 baseplates next to the station, where you could build a pedestrian crossing, so minifigs can access the beach. Just some ideas. Can't wait to see what you work on next :o)
As Manny are saying. Train station looks good in that spot .as you thorts whanted it their. Only thing is the hospital. Id .outta wack .been next to a train station. Ive never seen a. Hospital. Next to a train station .add in real life an I know you seed. You not trying to make the city 100% realistic. Great city up date vid 😊 👍👍
Less roads but an added train station. i can dig it, you gave the minifigs a true alternate mode of transportation from one side of the city to the other via rail, instead of road hogging~
Yes! I'll add to your comment that YES Bricksie, a station in the countryside would be great, not every minifig has the luxury and use of a car to go camping or watching birds and trees.
I love this new layout! That is the perfect place for the train station. I love the boutique hotel by the park and canal. I would love to stay at that hotel and walk around the oark and to the jazz club.
If you're ever running low on space, I'd consider switching some city roads to 1-way streets that take up half the space. Real life cities have plenty of these.
Beautiful set. I wouldn't have the hospital right next to it. Instead, I would just expand the platform to the sides as this one seems pretty short for the length of the train.
You could have an outdoor seating area for the pizza restaurant next to the jazz club, where the half base plate is. So between the club and the restaurant
I must say that i prefer the placement of the lower level railway station in the layout. Notwithstanding the fact that i choose to live in a rural location and do not in essence like urban areas in any case. The station helps the layout flow now, as previously the tall abrupt modulars didnt.
You could try a back ally way in the two base plate space. It seems small to do the types of parks you create. But could have some dumpsters and hvac units or something back there
You should switch the green and purple building on each side of the police station because the green one is higher and it will cover more of the side of the corner garage!!
Don't think you had many other places to put the train station. If you placed it by the beach we would only see the back of it so I think this was a good choise. I think I would try to find a half plate building to go beside Assembly square to hide the back/side of the neighboring building though,, and maybe put some trees or something in the green area you plan to have by the station to hide the wall facing the green area as that doesn't look much better than the backs of the modulars.
Just a suggestion, but you tend to mention space usage and depth/ elevation. Please, please.... reconsider the layout with the taller buildings in the front block. Shorter buildings and then go taller. It'll give you the perception of elevation and everything won't tower over the train station and the boardwalk. The city will progressively get taller naturally. Just a suggestion really, but overall I love what you're doing. 👍
I like the idea of the train station being at that end of the city, and close to the beach area. I'm not a fan of it being on a double curve area, though. It makes it seem unrealistic for boarding.
The narrow building integrated into the train station suggests that there must be another building right next to it. Right now the station seems a little out of place to me as I think it needs to be surrounded by other developments. Another solution would be to mirror the station and have the cafe on the other side, as others have suggested
An idea for ya maybe to try, instead of having the 3 baseplate space between the modular buildings would it make more sense to push the first row of buildings back some along the water front? It seems like an oceanfront view would attract a lot more pedestrian traffic and outdoor dining. I don't think such a lovely ocean front view would be wasted on a Corner Garage. I'm just trying to think from a developer's real estate point of view. When looking at your city I like to imagine what the minifigures lives are like and how they would enjoy the city.
I have a suggestion.. any bit of space you have in the downtown you could make an underground or subway station entrance /exit and one would look good next to the new station as we have linked over ground and underground stations here in London (UK)
Maybe you can put the hospital on the other side of the station, so that the station cafeteria is on the corner, if you turn the hospital a quarter it can be connected to the road immediately. Then you don't see that bare wall of the station anymore.. By the way i like the big buildings at the other side its like grand central station NY between al the big skycrapers❤
Nice one. Been thinking about placing my brick cross indeed that platform needs some extension. Inside that 9x9 square you could do a police impound? Even space for cars.
hey bricksie love your videos man its definitely inspired me to start my own lego city & its coming along great! i love your beachside area with the mini modular buildings!! it reminds me of the beach from grand theft auto 5, not sure if you've ever played but would totally be funny to see a GTA easter egg added to your beach xD
Think you lose some of the sightlines now with the tallers buildings at the front, you also cross from a train station onto a garage exit, it may better with larger pavements and pedestrians friendly. I love that station set more than the previous.
The hospital needs to go. Some form of shopping building or office space would make more sense in that location. Hospital should go near a park or something
I would maybe consider putting some shorter buildings in the front of the new space. With the tall ones it's hard to see the upcoming garden space in the middle.
What if in between the 3x3 space that you just made, instead of doing a park, you did a parking lot. You could add color with cars or maybe add tons of story telling with a basketball hoop or maybe some concrete hockey game!
Bricksie, the new Lego greenhouse modular, you could place it behind the boutique hotel, with this setup, so bonus. Look up old town by simon 84 on re brick able, it also has a alley, would mean moving your twin buildings with their walkway. But it would give you two alley. Another option would be moving your front street, one baseplate backwards, that would allow you to put in on a long stretch of track, to letting you add in a long platform. As for your country station, what about getting a current low key hogwarts express for it's station? The one you already have, had that platform with walkbridge to the other platform. Then you can play it as your hogwarts is where one of your standing holes, currently is. But you forgot another option, for your new brickcross station, namely, before the zoo, just needs a smaller turning loop, or one more layed backwards. Would let you use a longer platform and who says the cars need to turn, at all? There is that beach parking spot, right? Just needs a bus stop. Start using those standing holes, better. With that I mean, play it as if something is actually there, that we can't see. Like say the Zoo being bigger then we actually think, by say expending some of the walls, along the edge of the standing holes, so you can see the inside, from the hole. Maybe add in a basement of said structure, for example.
Idk about you, but I think the 2 buildings next to the police station should swap sides. Either that or you should cover the walls on the police station and garage with graffiti to cover up the exposed flat sides. Same on the back side, since you're planning or putting a park back there, the backside of the police station is a great place for one of those building size graffiti or advertisements On that note, I think realistically this would be a bad place to put a park as with all those tall buildings so close it the park would get no sun. It would be better to add a basketball court or skate park.
If you turn the modulars like you had the idea with the pedestrian area where the previous road was, you could make the walkway only 16 studs wide and incorporate 16 stud deep modulars to hide the backs of the other row. Also, the 3 turn “s-bend” in front of the hospital and Jazz Club would make a bit more sense as just one turn, but it’d require a bit of modification to the raised section. (See replies for diagram)
The hospital should definitely not be next to the train station. It's way too high. Put some small building, like a restaurant or bar next to the station so the station has some "room to breathe".
Personally, I feel the hospital is a little bit out of place. To be honest, I probably wouldn’t put any buildings next to the train station at all. I’m in Europe and here those types of buildings are usually standing on their own with some space to breathe, so maybe I’m biased
Suggestion:
would remove the hospital from the new location, and using the side door of the coffee shop at the station, would place a terrace with some tables.
I built a radius at both ends of my extended platform. As I had exactly the same catching issue.
There is currently an awesome MOC that extends and encloses the patio for the cafe
really like the Brickcross train station, but not fond of the hospital being right beside it. The hospital is a quiet zone and a train station isn't.
I agree. Also the ambulance loading area is right next to the train tracks so I feel like if it were to stay then there should be a fence or barrier of some sort
The exposed side of the train station isn’t that great on the eye… what are you going to out next to it?
There should be a small series of car-parking spots next to the train stn
Honestly the hospital as a build is just a bit out of place. Really hope Lego make an official modular at some point as we have a fire station and police station
I agree with the hospital placement, the other thing is the ambulance drop-off would have a way in and out, normally one way, currently has limited capacity if you were thinking of making it close to realistic this would need changing
it’s hard to believe how long it’s been since you’ve had the city in your basement. time sure is flying
I would move the hospital to a different location, maybe create more parking or an extension to the cafe on the side of the station.
Also, in the 2 base plate gap in the middle you could build an outside basketball court, with an entry way from the street in the half base plate gap in the buildings.

In terms of where in the city its great!
Totally agree
Can make a nice garden area with the cafe and viewing area of the rail entrance. Little mini figs always love watching the trains
Yes i just said the same thing flipping the shops would be ideal for the location
I think you should switch both side parts of the station. So the waffle shop on the left side, so you have a more beautiful view and maybe make the terrace a little bit bigger. And the new paper stand is just a wall so that can be on the hospital side.

I'm so glad you didn't have to rip up the beach, as it is so lovely and there are so many stories you have created.
Enjoy your evening. Hot chocolate sounds like a good idea.
You should make the 3 curve road plates to one angled road! (Right by the hospital)
Good call!
I love everything you do. I'm confident you will find the perfect place for the train station. Right now, it looks too out of scale with other buildings.

The tile floor looks amazing in the new train station. White, light gray and black really works! Love the changes to the city!

Love where you moved everything! Except the hospital, the design doesn't really belong anywhere, and I never liked it.
Maybe a redesign?

That middle part needs to be parking- especially for the police station. Looking good Bricksie!😊
The train restaurant looking fantastic like left side wall opening quite clever..city looking
I find your videos so relaxing and educational. You’re very systematic and thorough with your audio commentary. Thanks for having an awesome channel for us to enjoy.
You could make the park on the interior some kind of sporting event. That is one element your city is missing right now and would add an interesting story.
It is in a great spot. And it looks good there. I like how you always look for ways to make the city better and look good also.
Really great city updates and for the train station - ALL ABORAD !!!!
I loved this video! The iterations of trail and error, checking and adjusting, and continuous improvement was all demonstrated for aspiring lego city buillders ❤❤❤

I like the secret place created by the new positions. It would be really cool to have a outside basketball court in there.
Love the location, and all the changes you made. That’s Lego! Change is the name of the game 😊
Suggestion for the empty baseplates in the middle of the reshuffled block: maybe move some of the shorter skyscrapers there for a staggered skyline.
Less roads but an added train station. i can dig it, you gave the minifigs a true alternate mode of transportation from one side of the city to the other via rail, instead of road hogging~
Yes! I'll add to your comment that YES Bricksie, a station in the countryside would be great, not every minifig has the luxury and use of a car to go camping or watching birds and trees.
@@partiegratuite Maybe not a huge central station of marble, but maybe a smaller "whistle stop" by the country road that goes into the mountain.
I love this new layout! That is the perfect place for the train station. I love the boutique hotel by the park and canal. I would love to stay at that hotel and walk around the oark and to the jazz club.
Great place for it. Looks awesome.
The empty space would make a perfect city-garden. Or, remove one building so it’s accessible. And make it a car-park.
Style the hidden garden after Gramercy Park in New York, or another private city garden, like the one in the Notting Hill movie!
In the inset area between the buildings- Perhaps a basketball court/ skate park/ playground? or a crime alley...
If you're ever running low on space, I'd consider switching some city roads to 1-way streets that take up half the space. Real life cities have plenty of these.
Beautiful set. I wouldn't have the hospital right next to it. Instead, I would just expand the platform to the sides as this one seems pretty short for the length of the train.
One tiny change I recommend, is moving the donut shop next to the press building, I think Garage and Police would match pretty well
Suggestion:
put a basketball court behind the police station on those open baseplates along with maybe a little community garden.
You should Add a pedestrian bridge from the boardwalk to the open green area next to train station.
Perfect spot for Brick Cross station👏👏👏👏😃🤌
Love the changes!!! 👏🏽👏🏽
You could have an outdoor seating area for the pizza restaurant next to the jazz club, where the half base plate is. So between the club and the restaurant
It looks great. It doesn't really matter much though, you're just going to switch it up in no time anyway. :)
Instead of a hidden park on the two baseplates behind the modulars, maybe add a basket ball court or tennis court!
I must say that i prefer the placement of the lower level railway station in the layout. Notwithstanding the fact that i choose to live in a rural location and do not in essence like urban areas in any case. The station helps the layout flow now, as previously the tall abrupt modulars didnt.
The doughnut shop could be next to futuristic city build to create a shared rooftop terrace 😎
You could try a back ally way in the two base plate space. It seems small to do the types of parks you create. But could have some dumpsters and hvac units or something back there
You should switch the green and purple building on each side of the police station because the green one is higher and it will cover more of the side of the corner garage!!
Looks good. Glad you didnt change the beach
In that green area next to the new train station you can put a skywalk over the rail line to connect to the beach area from the station
Don't think you had many other places to put the train station. If you placed it by the beach we would only see the back of it so I think this was a good choise. I think I would try to find a half plate building to go beside Assembly square to hide the back/side of the neighboring building though,, and maybe put some trees or something in the green area you plan to have by the station to hide the wall facing the green area as that doesn't look much better than the backs of the modulars.
The station looks great there.❤
Hope all is well with you and the fam (you rarely upload this late.)

Nice one. Been thinking about placing my brick cross indeed that platform needs some extension. Inside that 9x9 square you could do a police impound? Even space for cars.
Bricksie! You're thumbnails are fire 🔥!... between this content and your Bricksir Talks content, you're firing on all cylinders.... keep it up man.
You should make a busstation right next to the new trainstation and move the hospital elsewhere
Oh id be soo tempted to make something like the shambles in York for that gap, it'd be a hard challenge for sure
You should build a parking lot in the green space near the train station, or a custom modular building.
hey bricksie love your videos man its definitely inspired me to start my own lego city & its coming along great! i love your beachside area with the mini modular buildings!! it reminds me of the beach from grand theft auto 5, not sure if you've ever played but would totally be funny to see a GTA easter egg added to your beach xD
You should try “mirroring” the backs of modular buildings when you need too
Love the placement
Suggestion: move the train station by where the bus is i think it would look good
i think everything looks perfect but the hospital doesnt fit in its new spot. but cant think of anywhere else too put it
Think you lose some of the sightlines now with the tallers buildings at the front, you also cross from a train station onto a garage exit, it may better with larger pavements and pedestrians friendly. I love that station set more than the previous.

Like say the Zoo being bigger then we actually think, by say expending some of the walls, along the edge of the standing holes, so you can see the inside, from the hole.
Maybe add in a basement of said structure, for example.
you should do some kind of street fair or farmers market, kinda like lilac festival in calgary or even like stephen avenue
Build a court yard with little gardens and seating areas.
personally, I would try and intergrate the station into the amusement park as an alternative to the main entrance
You could make it park that kids play in..
Idk about you, but I think the 2 buildings next to the police station should swap sides. Either that or you should cover the walls on the police station and garage with graffiti to cover up the exposed flat sides. Same on the back side, since you're planning or putting a park back there, the backside of the police station is a great place for one of those building size graffiti or advertisements
On that note, I think realistically this would be a bad place to put a park as with all those tall buildings so close it the park would get no sun. It would be better to add a basketball court or skate park.
A hospital next to the train station doesn't feel right. Maybe a moc of a bus station there. A little transportation hub.
Maybe a sport park with soccer/ football fields and a baseball diamond or a basketball court
Could put it over there for the amusement park, drop off area 🎉😊
If you turn the modulars like you had the idea with the pedestrian area where the previous road was, you could make the walkway only 16 studs wide and incorporate 16 stud deep modulars to hide the backs of the other row. Also, the 3 turn “s-bend” in front of the hospital and Jazz Club would make a bit more sense as just one turn, but it’d require a bit of modification to the raised section. (See replies for diagram)

the corner garage pull-ins crossing the bike lane are not ideal. however, at least the hospital is right there.
Nice update! Good video👍like it all ✌️
The hospital should definitely not be next to the train station. It's way too high. Put some small building, like a restaurant or bar next to the station so the station has some "room to breathe".
The new layout have done a better job at making a more clear district layout.
Good solution to a tricky problem 😊
I wish I could become an animated lego mini fig and walk around in the city.
Personally, I feel the hospital is a little bit out of place. To be honest, I probably wouldn’t put any buildings next to the train station at all. I’m in Europe and here those types of buildings are usually standing on their own with some space to breathe, so maybe I’m biased
A basketball court in the opening might be pretty cool, for the youths. Or Adam Sandler. 😆😎
