dr_spock Posted December 5, 2014 I had an opportunity to build for the December 2014 window display at the local LEGO Store. I made a Christmas train and winter train station. I chose a small European style shunter. The open car has trees, presents, bicycle, skate board, snow board and a micro Horizon Express engine. The passenger car has a family. Holiday Train and Station by dr_spock_888, on Flickr The station has a simple interior--a ticket booth and waiting area. The platform as a stair way to the parking area. Winter Train Station by dr_spock_888, on Flickr It fits. Bonus, the parts used for the tree are currently on the Pick A Brick wall at the store.

LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted December 5, 2014 When I see the snow everything seems magic and I feel a child again! I like this MOC and the contrast between the snow and the black fences along the rail The trees are really original and impressive ...may I've a closer look to that beauty?

James Mathis Posted December 5, 2014 Congratulations. Great diorama. Second the greatness of the trees. Very festive scene, station and train. I've been waiting to see this since you mentioned it some time ago. Glad it gets a featured showcase! Well done. James Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dr_spock Posted December 6, 2014 Thanks everyone for your kind words. The trees are not a new design. I believe it has been done before by others. I used green travis bricks with flower stems. I twisted the bricks by 45 degrees going up the trunk. The trees have a tendency to fall apart if you don't watch your cats. I had a CATastrophe after I packed the MOC to take the LEGO Store. My cat knocked over the box with the trees. I braced the baseplate in the box with bricks. I think that helped most of the MOC survive. The trees crumpled though. You can see in the picture how the trees were made. CAT-astrophe by dr_spock_888, on Flickr Oh, the poor skier got crushed under the tree. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zephyr1934 Posted December 9, 2014 That is a great build, above and beyond the praises from others, you also did a good job filling the new shorter window. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
