snaillad Posted April 19, 2020 Hello fellow EB members Here I have made a Tearoom which has been converted from a former signal box and railway carriage still moored at the station platform. A flimsy excuse to make a railway carriage which has been on my to do list for quite some time. Tearooms and very popular and common in the UK and you can get more than just tea! Anyway a few pics and the link to flickr; The usual link to flickr: here Enjoy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ravelino Posted April 19, 2020 Nice excuse to make a a railway carriage, and it looks great! The house looks nice too And uh.. What else can one find in a tearoom besides tea? Because there's no interior pictures.. I can see the carriage is filled to the brim, is there an interior to the house as well? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LegoModularFan Posted April 20, 2020 Great work as always, nice SNOTting on the house! I like how you did the cobblestone, easy but effective! Nice train too. Keep up the great work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
neonic Posted April 20, 2020 Looks great, great color combo too. Nice garden too. To grow herbs and stuf for their own herbal tea ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kristel Posted April 21, 2020 Another great building from you! My favourite details are the facade on the upper floor and the use of the grates for the fencing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers @Ravelino It wouldn't be much to look at in terms of an interior, its an old signal box so the upstairs would be filled with levers. I suppose I could of made a kitchen downstairs but maybe next time! As for what else you can get apart from tea you can get 'afternoon tea' - how else better could I explain it than point to the wikipedia article here On 4/19/2020 at 10:56 PM, Pdaitabird said: The building and the carriage look great!

Ravelino Posted April 21, 2020 Ah yes the obvious.. Well the Moroccan teahouses in the Netherlands (used to) sell the “chocolate” one can find in a coffeeshop as well so I wouldn’t be surprised if that was what you meant by ‘not only tea’ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted April 21, 2020 Simply wonderful ...I like the way you didn't put the focus on the wagon, even if the rail car is absolutely stunning! Great MOC and great details everywhere! I like the use of the fences up-side down, and the use of grilled tile for the flowerbed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gotoAndLego Posted April 21, 2020 (edited) The white roof on the train car is very nice. Edited April 21, 2020 by gotoAndLego Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Keep up the great work! Thanks @LegoModularFan I can't take too much credit for the path style as been round for years. Breaks up the monotony of 2x2 tiles though!
