LEGO City Train 60337 Jacobs Bogie Upgrade Tutorial. Easy Mod Guide!

August 6, 2022 By GJBricks Leave a Comment

Reading Time: 3 minutes

This is the LEGO City Express Passenger Train Modified with Jacobs bogies. Jacobs bogies are where two carriages share the same bogie which makes them run smoother and faster. This custom LEGO Train Hack will show you how to mod the LEGO City Train 2022 🚂 with Jacobs bogies (set 60337) – and what they are!

I’m a big fan of the LEGO Express Passenger Train (60337) as you may have seen in my review:

About this LEGO Set
The LEGO City Express Passenger Train set (60337) includes a remote-controlled bullet locomotive with working, dimmable headlights and LEGO Powered Up technology, a dining car, passenger car, station platform, 24 track pieces and 6 minifigures for endless hours of toy train-themed role play.

About this LEGO Tutorial
In this video, I explain to you exactly what a Jacobs bogie is and then I will show the parts and process required to make the bogie I have created. The process is fairly straightforward and the parts list is included. A tutorial shows you the steps involved and the final outcome of that process. Which is the LEGO City Express Passenger Train with some – in my not-at-all biased opinion – kick-ass jacobs bogies!

What is a Jacobs Bogie?
Jacobs bogies are placed between two carriages with the weight of each carriage being spread across the single Jacobs bogie. By setting the carriages up this way, it smooths the ride of bogie carriages and adds less weight and drag to the train.

LEGO City #60335 Train Station Review! A train set worth waiting for!

July 27, 2022 By GJBricks Leave a Comment

Reading Time: 3 minutes

This is a review of the 2022 LEGO City Train Station (60335). It’s been 6 years since we last had a LEGO train station in the form of the 60050 Train Station. Was it worth the wait? You bet it was! This is a fantastic set! In fact, it’s so good my kids took it to play with before I could review it and misplaced one of the minifigures. Little stinkers! But it was worth it watching them set up the LEGO trains and add in their own station LEGO Moc to complement this one.

Bricklink LEGO Haul with a classic space vibe? July 2022

July 26, 2022 By GJBricks Leave a Comment

Reading Time: 2 minutes

It’s been an age since I did a Bricklink order so I thought I’d share this lego haul with you. This selection of LEGO bricks is ordered from QBricks and Sydney Brick Emporium. It has a Classic LEGO Space twist because we all know what’s coming soon, don’t we? Yep, the Galaxy explorer which you can pre-order (in most countries) with this link: https://bit.ly/LEGO-galaxy-explorer-10497

I hope you enjoy this lego brick haul and the ideas I have for what’s in it.

And if you want to see the Crater moc I based this parts order on, you can find it here: https://www.bricklink.com/v3/studio/design.page?idModel=342661

LEGO City Express Passenger Train Review (60337)

July 8, 2022 By GJBricks Leave a Comment

Reading Time: 3 minutes

This is a review of the new 2022 LEGO City Express Passenger Train 60337 not to be confused with the previous LEGO City Passenger Train 60197 (note the “Express” part). Why is it an express train? Well, according to the stickers on the set, it can travel at 303 km/h! But, does that also make it worth 25% more than the previous model?
