Murdoch17 Posted February 7 Posted February 7 (edited) After being inspired by part of Toy Story set 7594 (Woody's Roundup), I present to you this train station for my Wild West 1860s / 1870s layout, specifically for the town of Hope Springs. This town (in my head canon) is the setting for the old TV show seen in Toy Story 2. The set's building was modified in length, width, and colors with a three-track long platform on which the station master is currently standing. As with all my Western buildings, the MOC is open-backed for access to the inside details. The lower level of the station features a bench and cash register for ticket selling. Upstairs in the office we find an old-time opening safe for ticket money, desk with a red-lensed lantern, a swiveling chair, and a cast-iron stove for heat. Since this is a set based on 7594, and because I decided to use the figs from that set in my town, so I updated the figs to modern standards to better match the other mini-figures. Jessie (on left) and Woody (in middle) are the modern official LEGO figs, whereas Stinky Pete the Prospector (on right) is the figure that is new. (He uses the official Prospector's torso from 2010, mid-length blue legs, the short white beard from DC's Mighty Micros' Doomsday figure, the hat from the CMF S12 Prospector, and finally Leonardo Da Vinci's head.) I did this as Stinky Pete has never had an updated release of his figure since 2010.... which means he's long overdue for a remake, which goes doubly for the set he came in! Thoughts?

Thomas Waagenaar Posted February 7 Posted February 7 That's cute! It probably fits well with the 4-4-0 you made as well? Quote

I actually have a whole bunch of 4-4-0's in my collection (at least three, I think?) but this one below is my favorite and will be paired with this station. It's inspired by set 7597 - Western Train Chase (another Toy Story set), and it actually now has a fourth train car to pull. (this photo is from two years ago and is a bit out of date) Quote

Darkkostas25 Posted February 8 Posted February 8 Cute and cozy. Hope to see photos of station with some trains! :D Quote

My layout should be considered a disaster zone right now... it looks like a hurricane hit it with all the stuff I have to get put away sitting on it. Also, @Thomas Waagenaar I left the platform length like that because if looks more proportional... any longer and it starts looking odd. Edited February 8 by Murdoch17 Quote
