kjm161 Posted December 5, 2016 (edited) Every rail line needs a train station and this one lets passengers from Eastern Ontario, where my Winter Village is located, travel to the North Pole to visit Santa’s Workshop. There are a few old Canadian Pacific and Grand Trunk Railway Stations in Ontario that have a large round architectural element to them and this was the inspiration for my MOC. A cast iron wood stove warms the inside of the train station that is decorated for Christmas. I have included some photos of my Winter Steam Engine train as well. Hope you enjoy and have a very Happy Holiday Season! image by Karen Metz, on Flickr image by Karen Metz, on Flickr image b y Kareimage by 2 by Karen Metz, on FlickrKaren Metz, on Flickrn Metz, on Flickr image by Karen Metz, on Flickr image by Karen Metz, on Flickr image by Karen Metz, on Flickr There is no indoor plumbing so an outhouse was required.

JopieK Posted December 5, 2016 Nice addition to you train Karen! I like the outhouse too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fred67 Posted December 5, 2016 I like it a lot - those fence pieces from Elves? I don't recall seeing them before. The interior details are great - even in the outhouse. BTW, the train looks pretty damn cool, too. While I think the Emerald Night might be the most beautiful set TLG has ever released, the Constitution is my favorite, and I love what you've done with it.

Xon67 Posted December 6, 2016 Very cozy! Good use of the roof piece on the outhouse. Is the toilet seat heated? :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unfortunately, the seat isn't heated but at least it is wood rather than porcelain, which would be a tad chillier ;) Quote 19 hours ago, fred67 said: I like it a lot - those fence pieces from Elves?

While I think the Emerald Night might be the most beautiful set TLG has ever released, the Constitution is my favorite, and I love what you've done with it. The fence pieces were actually from the Fantastic Beasts Dimensions pack, which has 8 in gold. Their design was originally in Elves I think. I agree, the Emerald Night is beautiful, but too expensive to get now and I got back into Lego too late to purchase one retail. Even brinklinking the parts is prohibitive. The Constitution is a fantastic little train, more in line with the old steam trains that were used on the CP and Grand Trunk lines and is still affordable. It is one of my favourite trains too.

dr_spock Posted December 6, 2016 Are you from Ontario? Good job with the exterior scene and filling the interior. I can't tell if anything is stuck on the brown toilet seat before use. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kjm161 Posted December 15, 2016 (edited) I like the roof of Hagrid's Hut on the train station, but it is such an iconic piece that I thought I would try an alternate roof. I found an octagonal roof a real challenge with the slanted pieces I own and would like to see which roof people prefer. Below are images of the train station with the two styles of roofs. Comments really appreciated. Thanks I have gone with the new roof and have edited the picture of the old roof out. You can still see it on my Flickr page if interested. image by Karen Metz, on Flickr image by Karen Metz, on Flickr image by Karen Metz, on Flickr Edited December 21, 2016 by kjm161 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zork Posted December 20, 2016 I agree with Kodan Black, the brick built version looks better. IMO the proportions are better in your second version. First roof is too high compared to the building. amazing work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Glad you like the new roof and thanks for your helpful comments. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
