I finally unpacked (and had to partially rebuild :( ), the micro-scale station I displayed on Brickfest. I made some pictures, including many of the back or the station, because that part was hard to see because of its position against the wall.



For more pictures of the station and the back (hardbor, Maersk mini ship, (nude?)-beach and fishermen, and a trainshed click on the above picture.

The 2-wide trains (including a TGV, Jake’s Enines, Koploper, Steamengine, adn a microscale of my own high speed train) can be found by clicking on the picture below:

Hey Paul,

Is that based on Centraal station in Amsterdam? Either way, it looks great. It is hard to believe it’s Micro-scale!

Good work!

Thanks. It is (indeed) VERY LOOSELY modeled after the CS Amsterdam. I wanted such a style station, with the big dome-like train hall. Amsterdam has indeed one of those, but so do quite a few other stations in major European cities (Frankfurt comes to mind). So, yes, it ws modeled after an existing station, but ony the general idea, it is not in any way meant to be a micro-scale version of CS Amsterdam.

That is very cool. By the way, I will **** a brick if anyone figures out
a way to motorize 2-wide trains on LEGO 12v track :)

Chris

By the way, I was thinking of the every so slightly more exceptable 4
letter word for **** a brick :)
