Are we gonna COPPA it because YouTube was naughty?

November 23, 2019 By GJBricks Leave a Comment

Reading Time: 2 minutes

These are my thoughts on COPPA and how it’s impacting YouTube as a whole, especially fan channels about content. Below are links to the FTC and a petition. Please sign it and tell the FTC why this policy is wrong (in a sensible, helpful way). And check out my other links below. Oh, and you must be over 13 to watch this video!

How to build LEGO Train Shipping Containers (Custom MOC) #tutorial

October 25, 2019 By GJBricks Leave a Comment

Reading Time: 2 minutes

A tutorial to make a simple LEGO Train Shipping Container as featured in my previous LEGO Train Cargo MOC Video. These containers are 6×16 studs and are compatible with the LEGO Maersk Train 10219.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fS_mdwIk1vQ

Here’s the parts list. You can load this into Bricklink as a Wanted list. This is for a basic white container but you can change the colour however you want.

About this LEGO Toys Video:
This container was designed to compliment the containers that come with the 60052 LEGO City Cargo Train (one of my favourite trains). That has containers that are 6×8 in size and these are 6×16 studs. This design should work with with the Maersk train as well. Let me know if you try it.
