56 switches
38 x-train crossings (2 inputs + 2 outputs)
1 6-way crossings (3 inputs + 3 outputs)
1 20-way crossing (10 inputs + 10 outputs, self 3d printed, see https://youtu.be/ipERA712vko)
200 flexible rails
In total, about 400 meters of rails were used for up to 15 trains.
Additionally, about 28k LEGO pieces have been used for building the bridges, including
- 8k 2x4 bricks
- 6k 2x2 bricks
- 3.5k 2x2 round bricks
- 4k plates (2x4, 2x6, 2x8, 2x14, 2x16, 6x16, 8x16)
The train elevator fits trains up to 2 meters length and covers three layers. Incoming trains are detected and the elevator gets called. Trains on the elevator may choose the destination by color coding, or a random Destination is chosen. More Information can be found here https://youtu.be/whg_i5e356Q
The suspension bridge has a total length of more than 4m, with a span of 2m between the two support pillars. The train roadway is 33 bricks above the ground.
23 of the switches are controlled automatically by LEGO Mindstorms (2x51515) or Powered Up hubs (8xTechnic Hub, 3xCity Hub), i. e. trains are detected by infrared/ distance sensors, which causes the switch to change direction randomly. The powered up hubs are programmed using Pybricks (https://pybricks.com). See https://github.com/Tegowalik/LEGO-Switch-Controller for more information.
Multiple trains are using 2 Powered Up motors (see https://youtu.be/_scBJQutKik and https://github.com/Tegowalik/Pybricks-Train-Controller for more information).
