Cara Posted January 30, 2013 (edited) I've long wanted an official Winter Village station for my train. This year I stopped waiting and built one myself. This cozy little station is the perfect gateway to your Winter Village experience. I like building that are easy to play in, so the roof opens for better access and the ramp slides to whichever position you want to use it in. It looks like some people are waiting for the next horse and buggy to arrive, to ferry them into town. Grab the hook off the wall and open up the ladder to access the clock tower for maintainence. See a closeup of the decorated office here. It can become really cold waiting for that next train to arrive. So spend some time relaxing in the witing room. Want to know some things to do while you're at the Winter Village? Pick up a pamphlet from the rack and see the nearby attractions.

PsyKater Posted January 31, 2013 Very nice entry as well. What a great competition. I like how you used the hovercraft Technic part for the bench! Very realistic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Redhead1982 Posted January 31, 2013 For some reason, train station is one of the 'musts' when I think of a winter village. Your design is nice and simple just as it should be. And there's lots of great details that give character to the building. The clock tower (and its mechanism on the back side) is my favourite. Also, the bench in the waiting lobby is an interesting design, and news stand is a nice addition. You did a great job with this MOC! Good luck in the contest!

TheLegoDr Posted January 31, 2013 Great entry! I love the idea of a train station for this village and yours is very fitting. I love seeing what people can come up with. The bench design is great for this purpose. I really like the pamphlet stand also, very fitting. I like the use of those modified arches out front. And this adds some nice play value for the kiddies. Good luck in the contest. Voting is too tough this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

L@go Posted February 4, 2013 One or two winter village stations seem to turn up every year, and this one is one of the best I've seen. I really like the way you've used those ornamented arch pieces, and the clockwork is another inspired detail. A great entry - good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vincent Kessels Posted February 9, 2013 That's a really beautiful station! I especially like the black roof. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
