    That’s ok it’s still a pretty cool thing to see

    I know about that one Sadly I don’t own any G-Gauge stuff. Only HO, but it’s still cool to see this kind of stuff for the ones who want an easy way to scratch-build cars of their own

    What if Lego created a line of road baseplates with train tracks embedded in them? What type of sections would everyone like to see? the ones I can think of now are: single track: straight segments curve segments Junctions crossings slopes. Double track: straight segments curve segments junction segments crossover segments crossings slopes. general: sections where track is are either red or green in color for public transport only sections where track is are same as rest of street for mixed traffic Sections where there is interlaced track should be included such as special points and other areas for such track there should also be areas where the tracks transition to normal LEGO rails as well

    I can’t post any images of my moc right now due to photo size limits being way to small for my smallest image size
  5. Greenstar
    Yeah, it is sad. Unlike the crossings, the track will be fully embedded in the road plates and there will be curves, crossings, and junctions

    How about some road baseplates with embedded tracks for streetcar/light rail systems

    I don’t have a flickr, I’m using google photos and apple photos

    I keep trying to post photos of a moc and it keeps saying that my images are too big and that I have a limit of only .01 MB for picture size. How do I fix this?

    This moc is of an armoured locomotive I built at one point its based off of the train from Kabaneri of the iron fortress in design and it’s turrets do rotate and fire
  10. Greenstar
    The model looks nice
  11. Greenstar
    That would be awesome for scratch building custom rolling stock such as armored cars in HO scale also it’s a shame LEGO stopped promoting the idea because it might have helped them make some more money from modelers like me who use both systems on a regular basis

    Here’s a cable propelled system that switches cables at the end of the line in Oakland California this system would be neat to build in LEGO bricks
  13. Greenstar
    This would be the San Francisco international airport people mover. It Looks like the track would have to be entirely custom built

    Here’s an I-Beam suspension railway I built as part of a proposal for my cities zoo

    Does anyone ever combine their LEGO bricks with scale electric trains? I’ve found them to be compatible for track structures for 1/87th scale systems as well as structures such as elevated rail stations and bridges I’ve also used Legos as the base for a moc up of a section of track in Columbus, Ohio where a derailment occurred back In 2012 for something I was doing

    Does anyone know about the Miami Metromover system?

    I do using regular LEGO track and other pieces as well as a certain type of wheel. It’s not official LEGO train wheels but they work on the track. They were the wheels that the tires went on in one of the Knight bus sets that LEGO did
  18. Greenstar
    Yeah, I know there’s one company that makes modern LEGO compatible rails that are separated from the ties
  19. Greenstar
    That’s good to take note of it would take up more space for such systems to be made
  20. Greenstar
    If it runs on rails, it is technically a railway The system could be supported by buildings when there are no stations in the area and the supports could be brick built or modular to allow integration into buildings also, there was a suspended monorail in Ninjago?
  21. Greenstar
    With the separated rails from the12 volt era, it could be done It would just be a little complicated
  22. Greenstar
    I’ve seen some videos on the set as it does have the most of that type of track out of all the other sets. It could work well for a funicular system on a slope or and a straight section
  23. Greenstar
    I didn’t realize there were more monorail books out there i have one by Kim A Pederson myself also, Wuppertals system is one that I have made variations of using conventional track before to support bi-directional travel
  24. Greenstar
    Would it be possible to design a cable propelled rail system such as a funicular railway or a system such as the BART Oakland Airport Connector using LEGOs? Has anyone had success in doing so? Also included are the cable cars of San Francisco as long as they are moved by a cable. could the roller coaster tracks work for a more modern cable system?
  25. Greenstar
    Junctions are interesting, if an I-Beam system was designed, junctions would be somewhat simpler, same with a Schwebebahn style system using the older LEGO rails that are not permanently stuck to the track base a traverser style track design could be used that the end of the lines for vehicles to run the opposite direction on another track for a dual track system. This could be the case for SAFEGE style monorails and as for the regular track, a Schwebebahn style system can be built with regular L gauge track, but you can’t easily do turn around loops at the end of the line and turntables are required to turn trains around, a combination of standard L Gauge track and the separate rails could make for a good system though as it would take less pieces for a straight length of track or curved sections. Junctions and 180 degree turnaround loops would use the separated rail pieces from the 12 volt era or modern 3D printed ones
