MOC: Villa Park Metra Station

[Scorpio]

Here is a preview of my MOC for Brickworld 2013, the Villa Park Metra Station. Villa Park is a small suburb outside of Chicago, Illinois and Metra is the commuter rail. Comments, questions and critiques are always welcome.

Wow you've really captured the station well, looks amazing! I love the interesting array of minifigs on the station too!!

Good luck for Brickworld and happy building

Very nice! The architects should have consulted you before building the station - I definitely prefer your!

[King Aragorn]

WOW this is huge, and the station looks like the real thing!

[Scorpio]

WOW this is huge

Believe it or not I am actually adding to this build. i would like to include another section of rail and platforms on the other side. The current layout is 8 baseplates x 3 baseplates.

Also, thanks to whoever fixed the title. It has been awhile since I have posted a MOC to EB and I forgot to at MOC:.

The roof is the best bit for me, it juts looks like the real thing proportions are spot on, well done

[eurotrash]

You've done a great job of capturing the look and feel of a real-life place. As LT12V stated the roof looks just right. I think my favourite details are in the parking lot. The low tan wall, the steps and the passengers hurrying to meet their train.

Good luck at Brickworld and thanks for sharing it with us!
