A guy named "lonestar_tx" from Reddit posted a brick built cross using flex track. It's one of the best I've seen and costs under $10 USD It seems to be a very stable design and finally puts those ugly "flexi-tracks" to good use. Check it out!

Looks like they are bringing alternative models to the City line. Check out the 2:1 on the side of the Octan Gas Station Box!

Wow this is a great city-scape. So many tiles!
-
Wow. Awesome layout. So many base plates! I wish you had LDD files for your Pizza Parlor and Farm House. They look great!
-
This is a very handsome build. Just in time for Father's Day.

As someone with several old Town sets your redo's, especially on the Hot Rod Club, are inspiring. I really appreciate your work and think Lego should consider revisiting classics with your creative style. Great job!

Modular Building Sets - Rumours and Discussion
SeanM replied to The Jersey Brick Guy's topic in LEGO Town
Agreed, I don't think a 32 wide post office would be a good idea. Same goes for a library because both are obsolete and kind of boring BUT a small book store would definitely work and instead of a giant 32 wide hospital I think a dentist office or even pharmacy would work just as good in the 16 wide format. I could see them releasing a 32 wide science/history museum, but I'd be just as happy with a 16 wide antique shop. I'm sure what ever they come up with will be good since Jamie is moving back in the right direction with the PR. Either way I hope to see split 16 wides soon because I'm running out of space! -
Modular Building Sets - Rumours and Discussion
SeanM replied to The Jersey Brick Guy's topic in LEGO Town
I think Playability = telling of stories through level of detail and unique features, etc. Unemployment office? Not much playability there... BUT how about a modular Department of Motor Vehicles office? "Adding to the realism of Lego Creator line of Modulars, your newlywed minifigure couple from the Parisian Restaurant become frustrated as they wait in long lines at the archaic DMV office. Admire the level of detail with unimaginative crumbling walls, dirty seating, and a broken automated kiosk. The groom eventually becomes so infuriated with obese bureaucratic officials that he gets arrested by a trigger happy police officer. Set includes special printed tiles including traffic tickets, late vehicle registration notices, and divorce papers." For the record, I'm not a fan of the town hall. -
I love this. Supported!

Modular Building Sets - Rumours and Discussion
SeanM replied to The Jersey Brick Guy's topic in LEGO Town
I totally agree with the civic building theory. I'd be surprised if they released a Police Station because I am not sure if it would fit with the current lineup. Museums, Transit Station, University, or Hospital seem very likely. Unfortunately I don't think Lego would ever release a church.. Too Risky. I'd prefer if they split back to 16 wide Modulars like the PS. I think it provides more variety and play-ability. Pairing upstairs apartments are possible with most of the following classic town sets: Auto Repair Shop, Post Office, Public Works, Pizzeria, News Station, Bike Repair, or Bank. New ideas could be Bakery, Club, Dance Studio, Workout Gym, Laundromat, Book or Music Store. If they make it 32 wide then perhaps a Factory, or Octan Corporate Office I'll take anything, as long as Jamie is the designer! -
Nice MOC all the way around. Did you use LDD?
-
I recommend looking up MOC LDD files and dissected them. Techniques vary but it all boils down to style preference vs play-ability. -It's difficult to achieve both. Member imvanya has some really good LDD designs here on EB too.
-
Reminds me a little of set # 1687-1: Midnight Transport. These guys were my town's drug pushers back in '93.
-
It may have been brought up before, but I just noticed that Lego seems to be moving away from the flex track.
-
Nice Moc. I wish it was accompanied by an LDD file!
-
Hotel Galvez would be really nice, but I can't wait for someone to attempt the Driskill Hotel in Austin, TX. Is there any reason you are focusing on Galveston?
-
Wow the render looks great! It's nice seeing classic Texas architecture represented on the forums.
-
gig em
-
Texan here. I can confirm that the train was designed to deliver supplies to Octan Fracking Co. for an Eagle Ford Shale project. Everything except the open cattle car is very realistic. Can you tell I love the new American train too?
-
Spot on. What type of stuff does the truck haul?
-
You're one of the best modular builders out there Kristel. Very unique structure with great interior design. Love it!
-
I really like this truck! I keep wondering what this would look like with a clear windshield. It's a futuristic design but could also be placed in a modern City setting.
-
Thanks for the LDD on these. The routemaster and vanguard look great!
-
Wow thanks for the LDD! This is giant compared to the town hall.
-
Wow! Great attention to detail. Thanks for the lxf. Everything is Awesome!
