LEGO city layout plan & queue (updated June 10, 2017)
The core elements of my plan for my LEGO layout were formulated in 2013 when I began. When I moved in 2015, I gained some space and added a handful of items to the list. If you look at my layout in a photo or video and think you see some empty space, pretend it isn't there. Every area the size of a baseplate or larger is already reserved, as are nearly all smaller areas as well.
Here's how the queue looks as of the date in the title of the post...
I will include:
Metro area (with very tall office buildings)Freight harbor with ships, containers, crane, trucks, etc.Industrial area with factories, etc.Residential neighborhood with houses and possibly an apartment complexPlanetary Defense Force base (above and below ground)Second elevated narrow-gauge passenger train stopSmall city maintenance crew yardPet storeChinese restaurantNight clubCars, Trucks (passenger and commercial), other normal vehicles you'll find in any cityPeople (kids, men, women)Trees & plantsAnd much more!Already added:
One skyscraper (the first of at least 4)Police stationFire stationShopping mallSmall marinaZooGas station with car wash and adjacent repair/service garageArcadeIce cream shoppeTwo 9V rail loopsElevated narrow-gauge rail loopLarge passenger train station with elevated rail connectorLarge train yard (which I want and will not remove on request)Stand-ins for residential areaStand-ins for harborPlanetary Defense Force base with large army & some vehicles & craft
I will not include:
Airport. NO AIRPORT, PERIOD! An airport would ruin the plan for the entire city by taking up an absolutely enormous amount of space (if done to my satisfaction, and everything in my city must be done to my satisfaction).Heliport. Same as above, just smaller (but equally undesirable)Above-ground parking garage. Again, tremendous waste of incredibly valuable space (would need the area of at least 3 modular buildings to be even halfway decent). Maybe an underground one some day way, way, way off in the future?Super Heroes areaNinjago areaStar Wars areaRace trackMinecraft End realm/city
