Posted January 23, 201114 yr Japan Railway – KyotoStation Dream to having little Japan Kato trains modelset (with bullet trains, control, stations, houses, bridges, etc) when I waslittle boy, but there was not enough money. Dreaming to buy the trains modelset after I have got a job after graduation, but it’s hard to find the setsnow…. Until I had played Lego again 5 years age,and, after the power function train set was first promoted last year, my dreamstarted to come true… Let’s have a look of what I am dreaming of. JapanRailway – KyotoStation (The real one) The station could be divided to three parts(for front view, not the Kyoto Shinkansen entrance)) , left, middle and theright part. TheLeft Oversized Image 1 Oversized Image 2 If I don’t remember wrongly, there would bean exhibition showcase, restaurants, convenience stores, etc, with also theticket machine. TheMiddle The main entrance of the station. I likethis part due to the glass wall. Oversized Image 3 TheRight There is an Isetan Department Store on theright side, with also the observatory garden offering the full view of the Kyoto station and partsof the city. Oversized Image 4 There is a long long stair and theescalator, bring you from the ground to the observatory garden. You can alsoenter the department store through this pathway. Of coarse, you can also seethrough the glass wall. Less lighting systems, electrical energy are being usedbecause of the transparent glass. So this station could also be called “KyotoGreen Station”. There are at least 5 rail tracks inside,goes for different directions (to Tokyo / to Osaka / To Kyushu, etc) Oversized Image 5 And at the back of the station, there isalso an entrance for the Shinkansen. There is a bridge connecting between themain platform to the Shinkansen platform. Because of the limitation of resource, Ican only build the front part of the Kyoto Station, hope I can build theShinkansen one in the future and share to you. So, let’s go to the Lego Japan RailwayKyoto Station DayVersion NightVersion PrinceWilliam：This is the main entrance of the Japan Railway, Kyoto Station. There are department stores, shops,restaurants, convenience stores, etc. A brilliant modern construction / trainstation in Japan!! You should go to have a look if you can go to Japan!! PrinceWilliam: Haha. We have enough to time to have a sightseeing here. Girls, let’s….ss..s..s… go！ Japanese girls：]oops, Otaku~~ (Otaku = Boys who are fond of animation, comics and online games and always stay at home.) PrinceWilliam：This is the JR Logo…:p PrinceWilliam：Let’s go to have a look for the left part of the station, by usingthe escalator. PrinceWilliam : I do forget what exactly the usage for the left part, so I changethe function to be an observatory place too. PrinceWilliam：You can watch the trains move around thestation throught the binoculars here and the glass !!! JapaneseGirls：Otaku！ PrinceWilliam：Ah ha, it’s time to have lunch. The left part of the ground floor ischanged for two restaurants. PrinceWilliam：Delicious meal !!! Let’s go to the right part, but we should buy theticket first to avoid rushing for the train. PrinceWilliam：There are stairs and escalator to go on theupper part. It’s also the observatory place. PrinceWilliam：The original department store has been changedto the train information center. PrinceWilliam：It’s time for the train ride, let’s move to the platform. PrinceWilliam：We need to catch up the train on the oppositeplatform, let’s go up the stairs. PrinceWilliam：This is a good place to take photos for thetrains if you are train-lovers. PrinceWilliam：We are now going to the countryside, and wewill go to the Tokyo later on. PrinceWilliam：The famous Japanese bullet train. This is JR 500 series bullet train, bringpassengers from Kyushu to Tokyo, will go through the main city like Osaka ofcoarse. PrinceWilliam：Today, we take this one, the JR HK100series. Seeyou next time, haha!! 。。。。。。。 “Um….

January 23, 201114 yr Oh my..... great job, there is so much detail and technique. and even your engines are great, and the bullet. very very nice build! Edited January 23, 201114 yr by broomhandle
January 23, 201114 yr PrinceWilliam: this is amazing but I'd appreciate you not posting images larger than 800x600 in accordance with our site guidelines. I've replaced your station images with links - but there may still be a few images larger than 800x600. Usually, 640x480 works just fine.
January 23, 201114 yr Amazing station PrinceWilliam. I am blown away at the details. I have not been to that station but see the similarities to other stations in Japan. I grinned when I saw the line of ticket machines. I never could figure those out.. I'd just buy the cheapest ticket and pay the difference when caught. lol
January 24, 201114 yr That is a great looking railway station! As far as I can see it is a great rendition of the original. Tonight I will take some time to take a better look at the photos. Kind regards, Teddy
January 25, 201114 yr Great MOC. I enjoy the details such as using headlight bricks for the square cutouts in the columns. I love the Coca-Cola bus and bullet train as well. Nice work.
January 25, 201114 yr I'm not usually one for modern styled train buildings, but this is really great. You've done a great job capturing the look of the building, and your attention to detail is fantastic. Well done. --Tony
January 26, 201114 yr Amazingly detailed at every angle. This huge scale modern train station is grand. I like how you place all of the tiny details altogether. Thanks for sharing. This is now blogged in,
January 26, 201114 yr Gloriously beautiful train station.. Impressive work on this one PrinceWilliam, the whole build is really accurate to the real Kyoto Station. Of course the glass-paned dome is the 'star of the creation', but even the small details are wonderfully done. It was truly enjoyable looking at every inch of this MOC. Thanks for sharing this.
January 26, 201114 yr This is one MOC which doesn't have to be named but would still be easy to see what it depicts. (At least for me, who have been there several times.) Apart from looking good, this is a sign that it's well designed.
February 11, 201114 yr There's nothing like realising a childhood dream, is there? The station looks awesome, and I'm particularly amazed you managed to obtain all those trans-black pieces!
