Adding the Tram Line... - LEGO City Update

In today's LEGO City Update it's time for the tram to be installed!

I like the golden bricks. It's like someone donated a modern art piece to the village and they stuck it there and the villagers find it polarizing

You should add little walls to some of the properties, especially that new one in the train track corner. That's what people IRL would do to separate their backyard

Maybe an idea for one of the new houses on the lower level, add a roof cafe that's accesible from the upper level! Cozy lights, benches, small bar, etc. Would look great inbetween the larger buildings methinks!

The extended harbour could (maybe) eventually transition into a beach. Due to the difference in elevation separating the general landscape from the current harbour, the beach could be accessed via a sandy hill or integrated steps. The change in elevation could also allow you to add features like headlands, arches, stacks, caves or even wave cut platforms. Contrastingly, a longshore beach could allow you to build a bar, a lifeguard tower and other recreational structures.

I think for the fountain, the scattered 1 by 2 tiles looked really good. I'd say add some to it, with the current placed tiles below. That way the cool effect of scattered tiles is there and we also can't see the floor below.

You could switch out a few 1x2 plates between the rails for quarter circles, so you still get some variation in the floor without studs stucking up.

Our family went to Legoland in Kansas City, USA last week. We all agreed that your city is FAR superior to what we saw at Legoland.

I like the gold bricks: they are simple, and their simplicity among all the wild detail makes them stand out. The bricks remind the viewer "yes, this is actually all LEGO!"

Good update. For the tram I personally like a classic style railroad bumper at the end. Also thought the fountain looked really good with the loose translucent bricks dumped in

[BOLKBIKER]

You should end the harbour and build a beach area! Think that would look sick. Maybe you can use the height difference as well to build a beach villa at the bottom end
Maybe some newer style houses at the bottom to change it up, youll figure it out <3

If you're looking for more ideas for buildings to fill out space in the city, maybe you could do a building under construction or renovation? That would also bring up some storytelling opportunities. Plus, is it really a LEGO city without a bright yellow piece of construction equipment? ;)
Love this series and the dedication that goes into it!

[wolfieeeee]

I love watching these updates! Something creative to entertain me while I revise for exams :)

The new rock face looks very nice! The hill adds so much to that area and transition.

Damm, watching the Lego City grow and come together like that is so beautiful. Keep up the good work lad

If you want to change up the solid grey tiles on the tram line while keeping it flat, maybe try changing some of the 1x2 tiles to 1x1 round/quarter round tiles. I'd recommend keeping them dark bluish grey, but the small holes will add some detail and the shadows will give it a slight colour variation. While on that topic, there are a few spots with mostly/entirely one colour (the walls around the second level, the tile path next to the tram), maybe try this technique here as well? Small details that show age like cracked walls, different colour stones used to replaced broken ones on the path, maybe even some litter to add some colour. Also, is there a website for your Lego museum? I would love to visit one day.

I think the tramline looks fine. I would think that people clean the track so the tram can go across smoothly. Looks Great!

[andypants]

I think the end should be some old wooden buffers and then have a shed farther down the line using a switch 4:42

[Gearhead_Collective]

Where the tram line turns away from the station you should build a little hill leading up to a lighthouse.

I liked the scattered blue tiles! It looked like moving water, or at least gave it some volume. It would be cool to see you shape the fountain a bit (add some foam/bubbles?). Also I'd love for it to end with a beach -- as someone who crew up by the shore, it would be so cool to see your take on a boardwalk.

These are all just suggestions though. I absolutely love your work. It's so creative and cool to see the updates!
