Cara Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 (edited) I've long wanted an official Winter Village station for my train. This year I stopped waiting and built one myself. This cozy little station is the perfect gateway to your Winter Village experience. I like building that are easy to play in, so the roof opens for better access and the ramp slides to whichever position you want to use it in. It looks like some people are waiting for the next horse and buggy to arrive, to ferry them into town. Grab the hook off the wall and open up the ladder to access the clock tower for maintainence. See a closeup of the decorated office here. It can become really cold waiting for that next train to arrive. So spend some time relaxing in the witing room. Want to know some things to do while you're at the Winter Village? Pick up a pamphlet from the rack and see the nearby attractions.

Etzel Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 Lovely work! I really like the waiting room with the unusual benches and pamphlet stand. Great use of the clockwork robot winder key in the clock, nice touch. Quote
Artifex Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 Wow, the station looks great! What a great job! The details are awesome! Quote
Donnie Bricko Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 Very nice. I really like the details in the clock tower. Quote
Andy D Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 Very nice. Lots of little details, and I really like he color combination. Good luck Andy D Quote
Kristel Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 This is a great entry! Great colour combination and lots of details to explore, like the percolator and the hook for the ladder. Quote
genecyst Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 nice station, i love how you manage the clock and the stairs to reach it. Even the external roof is terrific. good luck! Quote
soccerkid6 Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 Looks great, the color scheme is nice and I like the use of those special white arches Superb interiors as well, especially the folding ladder and seats in the waiting room Quote
PsyKater Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 Very nice entry as well. What a great competition. I like how you used the hovercraft Technic part for the bench! Very realistic. Quote
Redhead1982 Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 For some reason, train station is one of the 'musts' when I think of a winter village. Your design is nice and simple just as it should be. And there's lots of great details that give character to the building. The clock tower (and its mechanism on the back side) is my favourite. Also, the bench in the waiting lobby is an interesting design, and news stand is a nice addition. You did a great job with this MOC! Good luck in the contest! Quote
arqalex Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 Fantastic, full of details. I like specially the waiting room and the stairs for acessing the clock. Quote
TheLegoDr Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 Great entry! I love the idea of a train station for this village and yours is very fitting. I love seeing what people can come up with. The bench design is great for this purpose. I really like the pamphlet stand also, very fitting. I like the use of those modified arches out front. And this adds some nice play value for the kiddies. Good luck in the contest. Voting is too tough this year. Quote
soundwave_sw Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 Very well done. I also like the use of the large white arches. good luck in the contese! Play Well Quote
LegoMyMamma Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 Yeah, I'd buy this as a set! I already commented on Flickr about the clockwork & lifting roof being nice -- there are so many lovely details, such as all the arches. Best of luck! Quote
jimmynick Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 The iron work is wonderful! Great job, Cara! Quote
Kintobor Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 Very well done! I like the clocktower feature, great little detail you've added! I also really like your waiting area, as many others have pointed out. The horse drawn-carriage is a nice touch as well. Wonderful station, Cara! Quote
L@go Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 One or two winter village stations seem to turn up every year, and this one is one of the best I've seen. I really like the way you've used those ornamented arch pieces, and the clockwork is another inspired detail. A great entry - good luck! Quote
Vincent Kessels Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 That's a really beautiful station! I especially like the black roof. Quote
