This UK style train station is inspired by 2023 Harry Potter set 76423 - Hogwarts Express and Hogsmeade Station. I added a back to the building, changed up the color scheme from red to green, added a removable roof and second floor. (The reason I added second floor to the model is a nod to Goathland station - AKA the first station to be used as Hogsmeade Station in the Harry Potter films.) The station's location name of St. Cleve is fictional - there is no place with that name anywhere in the UK, although I can't take credit for it: I got the name from the cover art of the 1972 Jethro Tull album, 'Thick as a Brick'. The platform side of St. Cleve railway station, which features: twin benches, two lampposts, a couple trashcans, and a few fire buckets. There is also a clock and arrival / departure board mounted to the wall. The street facing side of the station with phone box and statue of a local historical figure. The Stationmaster's office is on the second floor, and features a desk with swivel chair, coffee maker, and fireplace. The ground floor features a bathroom on the left, ticket counter in the center, and on the right is a luggage holding area with each part having features such as toilet and sink in the bathroom, counter and cash register in the lobby, and various crates in the luggage area. A clock and fireplace are also on this level. This classic K6 type telephone box is placed right outside the station. It is inspired by the one in 2022 set 76403 - The Ministry of Magic... but unlike the one in that Harry Potter set, the inside of mine can't fit a minifigure. All the separate sections of this MOC, together with minifigures of the station master and ticket agent. Thoughts? -
Here is my review on 76403 The Ministry of Magic: THE GOOD: looks good from the front. Excellent telephone box build. Excellent selection of minifigures. Ability to rearrange the set in a modular way. THE NOT SO GOOD: Flimsy ... breaks apart very easily. Interior on some sections have lots of details but not enough depth to allow more variation of play/display. $$$$$$$ It is a good set for Harry Potter fan with an excellent selection of minifigures and lots of cool reference through out the build. However, as a general lego set, the flimsiness and lack of depth really set this set back. While I appreciate the details in a few sections, it just lack the space to allow more fun. And the flimsiness makes it hard to move/relocate this set. However, the telephone box put a smile on my face. I really like the telephone box and I think is excellently done. Having said that the price tag of this set is really high. I probably wouldn't have bought this if there was no discounts nor cool GWP.
