Hi all,
This moc is my contribution to Danish LUG Byggepladen's autumn competition. The challenge: Build a way station on a single 32x32 baseplate with two straight tracks positioned four studs from the edge. The idea is that all contribbtions can be used in future Byggepladen layouts as they fit with the track and road standard.
My model is inspired by typical Danish way stations along local railway lines but is not based on any particular station.
All pics can be found here after moderation: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=536031
The train is modelled after the S50 that used to run on the HTJ local railway in western Sealand. My model is slightly downscaled in order not to dominate tha way station, and I have used the small train wheels for that reason.
The series of pictures below show the construction of the front. It is pretty tight, but sturdy.
I am looking forward to your comments.
Have a nice weekend,
Esben
