snaillad Posted November 24, 2020 Posted November 24, 2020 Hello fellow EB members. Here is my Victorian era influenced railway station. A couple of my local stations were used as inspiration for parts of the design. I've had to scale it back to a cross section as ambition was starting to get the better of me! The main remit I had was try and create a curved roof section, the footbridge and train carriage came after. The curved roof is not adjoined directly to a building which you'd probably see in most stations to keep people protected from the weather. In this case I've also fitted a flat window plane roof between the two structures which is found at one of my local stations, it also helps with the stability of the model! Anyway, just a couple of pics; You can also find the images on my flickr stream here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/52656812@N04/ Regards! Quote
JintaiZ Posted November 25, 2020 Posted November 25, 2020 Amazing build! You should give it a try on LEGO ideas :) Quote
Man with a hat Posted November 25, 2020 Posted November 25, 2020 Ohm, wow great again. As usual! The curved roof a little bit detached form the main building is great and very realistic. I only feel like it should be a bit more curved. But that's just nitpicking, and perhaps just how it looks to me as it is a cut-of section of course. And besides with all those nice details, this is simply stunning. I just wonder how the complete station would look like. Quote
peedeejay Posted November 25, 2020 Posted November 25, 2020 So cool! Now build the rest of it! ;-) Quote
neonic Posted November 25, 2020 Posted November 25, 2020 Great build with nice elements and details. I wanted to say it looks a bit Victorian style but ... it is like you said your self. the Only thing is I think the roof is a bit (too) close to the wall. Maybe not but I think is a bit pity you see the nice facade not so well. Quote

Would be a nice thought, although I'm not sure I've got the room to finish and submit a complete station! 4 hours ago, Man with a hat said: Ohm, wow great again. As usual!

I did try and bring the curve further out to incorporate windows which are usually found at the peak of the roof but struggled to attache them. I also found the weight was starting to pull the arch over. There is some messy bracing behind the arch which is why its hidden I think I'd of had to do a pretty high roof and wide arch to incorporate everything - wish I had the room! 1 hour ago, carebear said: O My!

If I had built into the 'wall' of a building I'd of had to build a much bigger arch to cover the platform and carriage. Then I'd probably of needed to do both sides of the arch to support the roof then it would of just spiraled out of control of size. This is an example of one of the stations I took inspiration from - Darlington. Quote
JopieK Posted November 25, 2020 Posted November 25, 2020 Even though it is 'only a facade' it is a stunning one! Great job @snaillad! Quote
Classy Weasel Posted November 25, 2020 Posted November 25, 2020 Spectacular building design, do you think you could extend it a bit and make it a full-sized station on both sides? I love the gravel look under the train track as well Quote
ExeSandbox Posted November 26, 2020 Posted November 26, 2020 The model looks so impressive in the pictures, it makes me wonder just how awesome it must look in real life! It's cool how you took the same old LEGO colors and make it look fresh. I also really like the cross section style you went for the model, it's a lot more displayable. Quote
Vilhelm22 Posted November 26, 2020 Posted November 26, 2020 Beautiful! As a Brit myself, I know the style exactly, and it's very well executed. An amazing build! Quote
koalayummies Posted November 29, 2020 Posted November 29, 2020 Fantastic work Snaillad! I stared at this for a while when you first posted it to flickr. Absolutely wonderful construction. The way you create a build that looks like its perfectly sliced locale is something else and your settings are always so lively. Great MOC! Quote
Jerry McGlade Posted November 29, 2020 Posted November 29, 2020 It looks so exquisite! So much sophistication to the design and the lines. Beautiful design and workmanship. Quote

Thank you @ExeSandbox If anything it would probably have been easier making a full structure rather than a cross section as I've had to find a way to support and hold 'half a roof' but at least it captures idea!
