[MoC] Botanical Gardens delayed, interim photos

[Tube Map Central]

Unfortunately, progress on Botanical Gardens is now delayed while TLG decides whether 2022 parts (which were available on the old B&P site) should be made available on their new, 'improved' combined site.

In the meantime, here are photos of where I have got to.

The original Botanical Gardens project is here:

The new version will have improved construction and detailing. The full station includes restaurant, offices, lift, telephone exchange, grand staircase, ticket office, Post Office counter, left luggage counter, stairs down (to toilets, platform 2 and underground station) information desk, kiosk, news stand and florist. Platforms and glass canopy will follow in 2023.

It is now joined by a twin building on the opposite side of the tracks: a substation for supplying power to the electric trains, which features four rotary converters and a control room. If Lego ever release balloon parts in trans clear, then a mercury arc rectifier will replace one of the rotary convertors.

Hope you enjoy the photos, and that TLG decides to release 2022 parts soon.

That is turning into quite the grand station. The details are fantastic and I am looking forward to seeing the progression.

Quite the station you have there. Plenty of detail and it's huge. The power dynamos are neat. Best of luck getting the parts you need.
