LEGO CITY UPDATE: a LEGO Train Tunnel on a curve? Technically challenging!

September 10, 2022 By GJBricks Leave a Comment

Reading Time: 2 minutes

In this custom LEGO City update, I’m going to focus on building the train tunnels just before the Train Station I showed in the last video. My goal was to give myself more space to add scenery, but also to make something a lot more interesting than just the usual straight train tunnel that’s easy to build. Hint: This was not an easy LEGO build and required some techniques I haven’t done before!

I’ve also been sure to add in lots of details such as a train signal, a small pond, lots of plants, and some pallets that have been abandoned.
