Posted April 14, 200717 yr Hi fellow Eurobrickers! Two weeks ago I bought my first 9 volt train and some tracks, so the time came to make a suitable station somewhere along the line. This is my first attempt of making one (I never made a trainstation before, there is no need to without any trains...) and I am quite happy about the way it turned out. The station, loosely based on the station from lego in 1991, features two ticketboxes, a waiting room, a controlroom on the second floor and of course a platform with benches, departurelist and trashcan. The platform is not long enough to accomodate the entire metroliner, it's sticking out on both ends, but otherwise the proportions wouldn't look right. No particular reason for the name G
April 14, 200717 yr I like it, it reminds me of Lego's old red station, but with more of a late 70s-early 80s feel. Got any shots of the backside/inside? I'd like to see it.

Both sides of the exterior are visible in the pictures, I haven't made any from the inside because of the closed structure. There is just a bench, a flowerpot and a small ticketbox inside, maybe I take some pictures of that later. I tried to capture as much as possible from the eighties look. I am going to make a stairway and bridge to another platform on the otherside of the track, just like the 7822 station from 1980. I just lack the 1x6 plates for the stairs right now...
April 15, 200717 yr Very, very nice, especially to be your very first! :-) As Zeki said, a nice classic look. *wub*
April 15, 200717 yr Nice station, with the good old feeling! Like some others said, a little too red. Maybe a black roof will emphasize your building... Good job *y*
April 17, 200717 yr I really love this station!! Sure, it is red but I think this looks fine when the station is part of a town. A few tall green trees either side of the station and some flower boxes would blend it into a city scene fine. Nice job.
