I think the line of studs along the platform aren't just for posing, but simulate raised bumps to let people with vision impairments know they are getting close to the track. We have them all over Japan and on the sidewalks. People can use a can to feel the way and know an intersection is coming up based on the type of bump patterns. (A little extra info... we also have bird chirps in the station near exits so these same people can use sound to navigate, and birds singing isn't annoying to other passengers as a chime or deep might be)

The architecture in this model is amazing! Looks so beautiful.

About the train: Lego trains are super sensitive to friction, particularly when they go around tight (i.e. non custom) Lego curves. Some possible fixes: Rebuild the 3 bogies using the 3x6 train wheel hub (preferably the original style with metal axles). Technic train wheels and axles have a lot of friction between the axle and the technical brick. The wheels aren't fixed in position axially along the axle so can get pushed together, creating friction between the wheel and the technic brick. They also have unremovable rubber reaction tyres, which are good for the motorised wheels as the grip the track better, but bad for unpowered wheels. Place the battery box directly over the powered bogie to increase the weight on the wheels Lastly, use fresh batteries! I've found that power function trains lose a lot of torque very quickly

I wonder how awesome it would look if you had a few of these sets to stretch the station a bit longer. This is definitely my favorite of the recent Bricklink Designer sets. Thanks for sharing!

That's a beautiful building!! The amount of detail is perfect and makes it look so real! It will be gorgeous in the city and it looks able to modify to serve the raised train as well!!

This is so cool! I just recently discovered the adult Lego community and I'm blown away by this amazing builds

Cant' wait to see the station in it place and the park all together !

That’s an amazing station. I think you’ll just have to redo your entire city to have two train lines side by side. Then this can be placed downtown as the main city station. I’m kidding! That would be insane and I like the use of the switch track to integrate it. Those engines scream 9v motor to me. It would be awesome to see those with custom cars rocketing around. Hopefully the kids take some naps so you have fun with the new station!

Yessss I’d been waiting for this one

I must say, it is nice to come to KZfaq and see you have a video everyday for us to see. Love your channel. ❤

Yes!!! I’ve been waiting 😊

The station itself doesn't need any comments as it's amazing just seeing it from a far point of view. But seeing how the train was made, and the details weren't added as huge stickers but several slope pieces is really a positive point on this set. This train could be easily used as a subway train on your elevated lines.

Dang this set is brilliant

I honestly just want the engines. I think they’d look so good back to back. Plus, they have defective PF-era couplers, which means they can be retrofitted with proper 9V-era couplers, which are not defective and always provide a solid coupling. Also, anybody else thinking 9V for these engines? They’d make a good intercity commuter train. Rockatoa, Brickticks out!

That is an awesome station, great review

Great looking set. Thanks for reviewing it. If you can get the amusement park train to fit in the station, I think linking your main city line on one side of the station and the amusement park on the other side would "link"the city to the park and add a bit mir telling. Keep up the good work

Halfway through building Studgate and what a set! It’s massive.

awesome video jordan the train stain looks amazing i cant wait to see it in the lego city

Looks so good!

This set is pretty sweet! That fur reminds me of the Snape boggart from the Harry potter set 😂

I think you should put it in the amusement park it would take up a lot of space but if you connect it to one of your other train tracks you’ll have two ways of getting into the amusement park

This looks incredible!

Awesome! It is a beautiful building!!

Amazing placement and set!

The reason why the train is having issues is because it's wheels are held in place by technic axles rather than metal rods, this makes aligning them very difficult and creates a lot of rolling resistance - just try pushing the other non-motorized one by hand - it's not easy - so I plan to change the wheels also. I think this is the biggest flaw in the whole set, but not difficult to fix. It's nothing to do with weight, generally the trains need some weight to gain traction... Also, whilst I love the look of the set, once you've built it you realize that there could be more detail added - like a ticket room or waiting room etc, I plan to mod mine to add these, and of course a longer platform. And like another poster mentioned, the tracks only being 4 studs apart is problematic when you would normally expect 8 studs gap, but understand why the designer built it that way to have platforms either side, it looks more balanced.

So cool that all that black ornamental pieces just scream wrought iron.

its great to know that station is wheel chair accessible, but I havent heard you mention bathroom at all. I would think its also important for minifigs to be able relieve themselves 😂

It’s so nice to wake up and then automatically watch Bricksie

Hey Bricksie, someone may have mentioned this already but trixbrix have a switch track that is narrower that you could use to help take up less space, definitely worth a look, cheers

Ooh Kool as we get two train caridge s with them. Rad I'm a build them asap 😊I'm happy about the train build in this set .I just print out the instruction for them 😊

Wow what a beautiful building. Tfs

Really like the design of that train station super cool with its Gothic design, I think it would look best near town hall it's where it would make the most sense in a real town but I also know that there's not a lot of space there , but there is lots of space on the raised platform? Maybe

I think you should put the 2 trains from this set together and use it as a city tram. You could make a new line embedded in the road and have that train run on it.

Thank you for share my model. I tried to make a model that could be easily motorized. In fact, I made modifications when the program was being developed to be able to include it in instructions but that was not possible. You have done a very good job, best regards Pablo Sánchez (Bricky_Brick)

I know it might be heresy, but take a look at third party tracks like trixbrix. They make switch tracks with varying gaps between the tracks, including a 4 gap set which I think would work great here. Really lets you keep the outside track footprint more compact.

wow looks amazing love your train sets

You could use a train in the station on the raised line

Incredible set

Hey bricksie, nice station! Looks awesome, maybe consider the 9volt system? I had this problem myself with de train mocs i made they couldn't pull the weight, then I switched to 9 volt and the problem was gone. I think 9volt is way better then the RC system in my opinion. But in your city it's an insane job switching to 9volt. Much love and respect for you and your family ❤

I like the idea of expanding it so it services the main ground line, the amusement park line, and raised line all together.

Looks like a lovely set if you have enough space for it. Will be an interesting addition to your coty

A airstrip by the space observatory would be a great idea!

Need more cages for the new train the yellow and black train but it just looks singled out with the new train Love to see custom passenger cages for the new Yellow and black train. I do love your train track in a nice circle and I love the switch tracks carnt wait to see this in the Lego table train parks. Lol from Kate last

Another way to go from two parallel tracks with 8 studs between them to 4 studs is to use a double 90-degree corner. Place a single flex track, acting as a straight that's only 4 studs long, before the inner corner. This will move the exit of the inner corner 4 studs closer to the outer one, resulting in a double line with only 4 studs between them after the corner.

What another really awesome bricklink designer set. Maybe how about having a another traon station stop for your city passengers

The carriages look fantastic

A cool building that comes with TWO TRAINS?....I wannit!!!

Amazing set. Kinda glad I missed out on it given its massive size. Wouldn't of had space for it.

I love that wheelchair ramp...but doesn't seem very safe as it dives right down onto the tracks and an oncoming train.

I would buy 2 sets and some extra pieces, put them on 4 x 32 studs mils plates. So it would have double the length and be deeper to accomodate more gap between the rails and between the platform and have room to build some extra waiting area on ground level. And connect your station to the main track and the park track.

I did not bought this set, I am not a huge train fan. But yes, this one looks really nice!!

I think it would be awesome if you built some additional carriages and motorised the trains from this station - to me they look like a metro type train, so would make sense to run on the ground line through the Lego City

Put the train station in the amusement park and also connect it to the ground line so that way people can get off the ground line from the city and can then walk over across the amusement park railroad to get to the amusement park.

I hope you can get it integrated into the city because that is going to look wicked in there.

I think the problems you hit with the track alignment, platform clearances, weight of the carriages and also the incredibly large size of the station show why the Bricklink Designer Program sets aren't always perfect. I think if it was a LEGO Ideas set the size would have been 32x48 and the track alignment would have been spot on. I seem to remember you had a problem with the connection roof of the bowling alley and the fairly empty interiors of the Venetian Houses? I also find the lack of anything on the platforms, coffee shop waiting rooms, toilets, disappointing. Looks like far too many bricks/much time and energy spent on the outside patios which aren't that realistic to my mind. More needed on the interior of the station, I seem to to remember a smaller Ideas program station that I feel is more realistic.

I find it interesting that instead of giving the handicap people a safe way to get over the tracks the set just has them play crossy roads to get across

So cool. Sad it isn't a normal set. I would love to get it.

Set score 7/10

I’ve built this one, it’s very beautiful once finished, but it’s definitely not up to par with LEGO’s standards. The way the roof went together was very finnicky and frustrating and the train design is also very fragile, the roof of the trains pop off and where the yellow and black meet diagonally it’s not secure either…

I love this set. I thought that Studgate might be a play on Stuttgart, but it looks nothing like that station. Stuttgart translated means "Stud Garden", you know, for horses :)

I'm curious how this 48x48 set would fit into a standard 32x32 modular building city grid. Would you put a 16x48 space in front to offset it back away from a city street and allow room for the train lines to go behind neighboring buildings?

Jordan, what would you think about shelving the amusement park for now and use that space for just the city? You can add back everything when you get a bigger space.

If you make a siding and one live track for the train station you wouldn’t need two tracks to place in your city. It would be easier to place using one live track

I hate that I missed out on this one!!

I feel like if you were to keep your custom platform 9and3/4 you should put it on the inaccessible side and have a scene where they run into the wall in stud gate

I think it is a really cool set, kind of wish the train tracks were a bit more detailed

Awesome set, pity it's unattainable.

This station would be perfect near you amusement park. A track for the disney train and the city train

I hope that you find a solution for the new train station! 😊

I built the Studgate station. The long part was the windows. I had dimples in my thumbs. worth it though

OMG IS THIS HAPPENING .................OMG I VOTED FOR THIS FK YEAH WHERE CAN I BUY SO EXCITED

That train station can be the fantastic transportation station to Ninjago land.

It sure has a lot of detail to it.

Seems like a good customization would be to make it a single track coming through. You could make the platform larger, center the track beneath the chandelier, and give enough width for the Disney train (or a modified UCS Hogwarts Express) to fit. Excellent video as always, Jordan!

I miss 12V they pulled like crazy.

Wouldn't take much to raise the roof and fit in a monorail station?

nice

Use the flex track on the other side of the switch you will save 16 studs

You can put some rubber bands on your wiels. This give more tracttion

Can you un-MILS just the center where the tracks are? That then removes your gradient, which therefore allows the switches to be closer.

use rubberbands on the wheels for extra grip

What if you use power both cars and see how well it runs?

You should put it in the lego city we're the bottom train line connects with the upper so Syrians could go up or down

LEGOOOOS

I think the upper line should go down so they can get on the upper train and the lower train.

Extra powered boggie.

Ty for sharing. Was a tough choise not to buy it.

Could you modify the station to just service one train?

Hey bricksie how can i buy this set?

It's kinda weird to me that the designer of this set didn't think about the distance between those tracks. He really should have made it the same width as the train track switch. Anyways, the set looks nice, I love some of those details around the build. And I think the Power Up stuff are a little more powerful so I think the train would struggle a lot less

make it a dead end station central station

It almost reminds me of steam punk type art work.

How much was that?

We’re I buy it

How much was it

I found. Jordan if the tracks are not tact down to stud plate the train not get Enuff grip on the track s an the weal s slip. Or wight on the weal s probly best to put the driver weal s on the frunt than at the back I'm not Lego train pro but thay are my thorts

can you still buy the set

ill so integrate harry potter and his train in this

I absolutely hate trains!!! I live right next to a train track and they blow their horn right next to my place. Its so cheap to live here but i need to move. Awesome set though lol

It's a lovley train station. Is it a build. Of a real life train station ?? in some cuntry or. Just a moc build. Not based on Anny real life station ..
