AJW Posted April 22, 2014 Posted April 22, 2014 In 1900, a second deep level tube railway was opened beneath London's streets by the Central London Railway company. Some of these stations still exist forming part of London Underground's Central Line. This model illustrates how one of these stations would have looked in the 1930s. Station facade with office building above: The facade hinges open to reveal the ticket hall and wooden panelled entrances to two lifts: These stations were designed by the architect Harry Bell Measures. Unfortunately none have survived in the their original condition as they have either been demolished or had their lifts replaced by escalators: Link to album on Flickr https://www.flickr.c...57644218199203/ Quote
lightningtiger Posted April 22, 2014 Posted April 22, 2014 AWESOME work again from you 'AJW', I really like the lift doors made from those containers.....wonderful brickwork and tiling.......Brick On 'AJW' ! Quote
eurotrash Posted April 22, 2014 Posted April 22, 2014 Super job! You've captured the facade of an old Tube Station perfectly and the hinged front is a nice touch. Good looking interior. It definitely takes me back to my commuter time on the Central line (though obviously I don't recall the lifts). Quote
Missing Brick Posted April 22, 2014 Posted April 22, 2014 Great MOC. Very realistic looking. Love the plate brickwork on the upper floor. One improvement suggestion: It would look better if you used SNOT to get rid of the row of white studs visible below the glass panel at the top of the entrance arches. Quote
jimmynick Posted April 22, 2014 Posted April 22, 2014 Thanks for showing us this! It looks great. The shapes you made out of tan on the facade make it interesting to look at. Are you going to build an underground tunnel to go with it? Quote
Scorpiox Posted April 22, 2014 Posted April 22, 2014 I absolutely adore how polished this model looks, especially those lift doors. An excellent piece of design. Quote
L@go Posted April 22, 2014 Posted April 22, 2014 It looks gorgeous! Really unmistakable, there's a true London vibe to it. Well done. Quote
Hectorin Posted April 23, 2014 Posted April 23, 2014 Awesome it look really great it reminds me the time I go london and on a very similar place we like to catch a Taxi and he wanted almost 50 pounds or more to take us so we walk Quote
Kristel Posted April 23, 2014 Posted April 23, 2014 This looks great! Love the beautiful plate work and how it contrasts with the lower part of the facade. I also like how you've done the lift doors and the ticket window. Quote
snaillad Posted April 23, 2014 Posted April 23, 2014 Excellent work, I love your other station builds aswell. The use of boxes for the lift doors is great. I look forward to seeing more examples in the future! Quote
LEGO Guy Bri Posted April 23, 2014 Posted April 23, 2014 Great job on this station! I really like the brick work and the detail on the elevators Quote
Wodanis Posted April 23, 2014 Posted April 23, 2014 This certainly looks like the tube station at Elephant and Castle in central London. Great job! I really like the archways. Quote
AFOLguy1970 Posted April 23, 2014 Posted April 23, 2014 Fantastic! The details are amazing, and it truly does make me feel like I am in London. Quote
3BrickFriends Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 That is perfect. I love the detail and the colours. Excellent work. Quote
igacreative Posted April 26, 2014 Posted April 26, 2014 This is an amazing creation, nostalgic and impressively detailed! Quote
TheLegoDr Posted April 26, 2014 Posted April 26, 2014 I have no prior knowledge of how these should look. I've never been near one. But this in LEGO form is awesome. I love the lift doors, the ticket window, even the flooring adds a lot to it. I can easily picture this in real life. I was considering doing my Modular sidewalk like that too. I ordered a whole bunch of 1x2 and 2x2 dark bley tiles to see if I prefer the more cobblestone look or larger stone look. I'd like it if LEGO released more of the classic smiley in licensed skin tone. Quote
