This was one of those ideas that I just couldn’t get out of my head. Now I’d modified my junctions in that recent video to exit outwards, it meanst that some new opportunities could present themselves! Here’s that video if you haven’t seen it:

It did involve swapping the living zone and cargo areas around, but I think it was the right thing to do! The spaces like this seem to suit what’s in them that much better! The cargo area is now more compact thanks to those junctions and we now have a really good space for the LEGO Train workshop.
This change should also sit better with the harbour area which has a new home that I think will work well. And, in writing this, I think the Studsburg LEGO City might be getting a small leisure marina!
Moving our LEGO City living zone and train station over to the old cargo dept also feels like it has a better flow. But, giving the space resrictions I have, I’m going to move to using Brick built roads. The LEGO Train station also has a lot more space as you can see from the 60197 Train sitting comfortably in the station space.

This video is all about the joy of building LEGO with your kids and how much they enjoy the interaction with their parents!
The LEGO Movie 2, “Emmet and Benny’s ‘Build and Fix’ Workshop!” set 70821is a 4+ set. What that means is that there are a few larger parts to help them understand what is happening without having to build a complex chassis, for example.
We had so much fun doing this LEGO Build together and you can see how much she does herself. It’s really amazing to watch and be part of! I really hope this video makes you as happy as it made me!

My first LEGO Movie 2 sets! Did I make the right choice? There are some great sets that LEGO has released for this movie. I like a lot of them and will get more. But thought I’d start with these ones now they’re out in Australia. But did I get the right ones first? One Exception: LEGO Movie 2: Apocalypseburg – 70840! [Read more…] about Did I Get the Best LEGO Movie 2 Sets?
This is a way to make LEGO City Train Junctions go outwards instead of inwards which saves you precious LEGO City building space! [Read more…] about LEGO Train Junction “Outward” Hack
LEGO Classic Spot the difference building (6357). This was a set I acquired recently because I’m a big fan of the LEGO City Helicopter transports trucks. LEGO Set 6357 is the first one of those! This is a look at the build for these Vintage LEGO sets. [Read more…] about LEGO City Classic Spot the difference build (set 6357)

You may have seen my previous video, LEGO Train Junctions Shorter Crossover Hack, that I’m not afraid to injure some LEGO Track in the interest of saving some precious LEGO City build space. You can watch that video here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIvX7dVKofw
This hack takes that idea a step further and was something that was suggested on Facebook based on the idea of cutting the track in a couple of strategic spots. What you be doing is taking the bit you removed from the left junction and putting in on a right LEGO Train Junction, and vice-versa. Doing that, your left junction then exits left, rather than sort of straight.
Why would you want to do this? It saves sooooo much space! Seriously! This is why 4DBrix and TrixBrix exist. They sell a version of this idea for this exact reason. OK, their method doesn’t involve cutting track as they use 3D Printing. And one other thing… This is not something you can undo. It is a permanent change to the track. The aftermarket ones can be changed freely.
This opens up a lot of opportunity such as a much denser train yard for example (something I’m very keen on! You can also do things like creating a neat crossover point – I’ll show that in some photos on my website.
Let me know in the comments what you think of this LEGO Hack. Is it going too far or is it something you’ve always wished you could do? Don’t forget to like and share it too!
