For lovingly-crafted instructions and stickers for the trains in this video, check out https://eggybricks.com ➡️ — including a much-improved version of the Polar Express, and four other Class I liveries for the GE Evolution Tier 4 (CSX, Union Pacific, BNSF, and Norfolk Southern)!

Today, we add FIVE brand new custom trains to the LEGO city! A metro, a freight loco, an intercity express, the Polar Express, and one mystery train...

In this video:
- A city metro train, to get our citizens to and from work and the LEGO store...
- A freight locomotive (GE Evolution Tier 4), to carry food for all our friends...
- A super-fast intercity train (like the Shinkansen bullet train), to get us all the way across countries...
- The Polar Express (Pere Marquette 1225), of course, to get us to the North Pole. PLUS
- A San Francisco cable car!!

Thanks so much for coming along with us as we build our city!!

PRINTING STICKERS:
(We've gotten lots of questions on how we print our stickers, so added some notes)

We use:
- an Epson EcoTank ET-2803 inkjet printer to print (has printheads capable of excellent detail like more-expensive printers, but is more affordable and easier to customize) — 29% off on Amazon right now https://amzn.to/3SRQKQi
- a Silhouette Cameo 4 to autocut (this is more important than having the exact right printer, in our experience) — 40% off on Amazon right now https://amzn.to/42ydGas
- white HTVRONT-brand printable vinyl paper, glossy (we've tried a bunch of different brands and finishes, and this is the one that works the best for us) — on Amazon for about 28 US cents per sheet https://amzn.to/3Su2IOE
- if we're printing clear stickers, we use Koala 95% clear sticker paper (the best version of clear we've found so far, but we haven't found a clear paper + print process we like yet) — on Amazon for about 46 US cents per sheet https://amzn.to/3HWLEMa but we don't wholeheartedly recommend it
- cold laminate for waterproofing or UV protection: either Oracal Oraguard 210 (preferred, but hard to source) or HTVRONT self-adhesive laminating sheets https://amzn.to/4bmBu54
