Unfortunate that you had to cut the piece but it does look really good. Does the tram get over the intersection fine? It looked like it stuttered a bit
@@theroaringbricks yes, you can also use their adapter to go from your custom narrow gauge track to standard track, then through the crossover, then another adapter to go back to standard, then you would have a level crossing so the side of your "tram" won't hit the road plates.
@@theroaringbricks BTW these are the specific parts I had in mind: trixbrix.eu/en_US/p/Dual-Gauge-Crossing-90-deg./224 trixbrix.eu/en_US/p/Narrow-Rails-Adapter/185
Thank you so much! Since it runs on narrow gauge tracks, there is no motor available for it as of now and creating one with technic pieces and a single motor would be possible, but would take up too much space. Jangbricks did that with his elevated train, but that design wouldn't work for me. So no motor for now, but maybe I'll find a way in the future!
Hey thank you so much! Yeah, still haven't figured anything out about that...the options with power functions stuff would simply ruin the whole look of it😐
@@theroaringbricks Seeing as motors have been done for OO gauge trams, the motor actually contained within the bogie itself like on Lego's normal one, surely it wouldn't be hard to do it for the narrow gauge? Stick something like a buwizz in and it would be alright.
This is looking class mate! I honestly can't believe your almost at 100 subs as well! You deserve it well done kn the fantastic content you put out. Sorry for the late comment I've been a bit inactive over the few days as my phone broke. It was impressive to see you cut the rails to a specific size for the build. 👍
FX did what ME-models and other companies did: they made a very compelling advertisement about 9v rails. Seeing is believing: let them produce the tracks and the switches in a decent quantity first, before we get all happy and fuzzy.
@@sgthulk9 yeah for now I'm good with my lego 9 volt tracks and since I don't have any plans to expand the train system for now I don't need any more right now
@@gmailer7341 kein Wunder, ist ja auch alles auf englisch hier😁 Ja die zweite Schranke hab ich damals (und bis heute) noch nicht angebracht, da sie auf dem Mittelstreifen zu nah an den Tramgleisen wäre und auf der anderen Seite noch kein Gehweg ist...kann ich aber mal machen👍
Honestly: If you decided to cut the track, why didn't you built up the whole crossing with cut pieces of track? That would look a lot better than what you have now.
@@theroaringbricks No, I mean the whole crossing section. Instead of the lower tram tracks bring them up to the same level as the train tracks and just leave some gaps for the flanges instead of the big gaps you have now.
I see what you mean and get your idea, maybe I'll work on that in the future, but right now I'm going to work on some other projects which are just more important to me at this point. But thank you very much for your detailed idea, I'll keep it in mind whenever I get back to this crossing👌
sehr aufwendig gemacht mit den ganzen schnitten, hat sich aber gelohnt! für mich ist die musik etwas zu "aufregend", macht mich ganz nervös :( abo trotzdem da, will wissen wie es weiter geht und mir Inspiration holen! :)
Vielen Dank für dein ausführliches Feedback! Mit der Musik bin ich noch am experimentieren, vielleicht kommt dann also auch mal wieder etwas ruhigeres😁 Und danke, das freut mich, wenn ich dich inspirieren kann!
Thank you! Btw it's a very cheap way if you want to have 9 volt trains, but don't have the tracks for them, because as far as I know the 9 volt tracks are much more expensive than the rc tracks👍
@@theroaringbricks check out the company "FX bricks". They recently released a teaser video about how they are making Lego compatible 9v brick tracks, switches and maybe crossing
@@robkennedy3000 thank you, yes I saw they're releasing 32 long 9v tracks and curves with a different radius and stuff like that, but I haven't seen any narrow gauge tracks
I'd raise the tram track by one plate height and then cut slots in those rails for the train tracks. Then the tram rails would be perfectly flush with the surface too.
Isn't the metal in the 9v rails disconnected now? I see 2 to 3mm gaps between them so how can they pick up power after it leaves the original track and onto the tinfoil one?
@@sgthulk9 I guess it's a bit irritating, because the 2 stud long track pieces are covered with tinfoil, too, since I originally planned to connect them with some thin wire, but then realized that it works like this already
