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.
