lightningtiger Posted February 24, 2010 As I'm building my country town, I thought a railway needs to pass through here - so here's the first of the MOC's to do with trains in my town. Once I have a platform made I'll post more pictures then - this station is based a little around the new station comming later in the year. Comments welcome - plus any ideas are also welcome !

lightningtiger Posted February 24, 2010 Looks more like to bus stop to me... :) Well I did say two things - 1. it ia based off the new train station - it is my own take on it. - 2. I'll be doing the platform is not done yet (but maybe in the next two days). This is only for a small country town, not a city. But thank you anyway 'vgo' for your comment - it all helps !

WesternOutlaw Posted February 24, 2010 A bit small for a station, but still a nice effort to create a place for waiting train passengers. Maybe you could add a bench in case the train is late. Are you planning to build a train next? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Melfice Posted February 24, 2010 A bit small for a station, but still a nice effort to create a place for waiting train passengers. Maybe you could add a bench in case the train is late. Are you planning to build a train next? As he said, the platform is yet to arrive. So, I would assume there will be benches for waiting passengers. Also, that looks less like a waiting room, and more like the ticket booth to me, but that might just be my imagination. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted February 24, 2010 Thank you 'The Brickster' and 'Melfice' for your comments - another Q&A - cool ! Now, yes to bench seating - a platform would not be a platform without them eh ? Next, 'Melfice' it's a.............ticket office, there is a door to the right side of the building for the station master to go in and sell tickets - I wonder if I need a fat controller ? I'm planning on using the platform design in part from 7997 - so I'll post a.s.a.p. the end result. I'm a conformist! everyone ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted February 27, 2010 I'm now done the platform and so here's the latest pictures ! What do you all think.....comments very welcome ! I'm a conformist! everyone ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CommanderFox Posted February 27, 2010 Very nice train station lightningtiger! It's small and quite cute. I like the colours of it. Are you planing on building a small train to go with this platform? Great work! CommanderFox Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted February 27, 2010 Thanks 'CommanderFox' for your kind reply , Yes is the answer to the train question. First, the new yellow cargo train is going to become a Pacific National yellow and blue engine, but for regular human cargo I'm thinking a long the lines of something like the Overlander, maybe or older types like the Bluebird which ran to south east of South Australia. I will really have my work cut for me then with either type of train. I'm a conformist! ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
