This is my first rtlToronto/train7 project (about two shows too late), an
underground train station. Since the new layout has a +20 brick ground level,
we have an underground layer (well, JeffVW and I do) which we can build stuff
underneath.
I think everyone had plans of building underground cutaways, mines, hidden
fortresses and the like. But the problem I found with this, even with a side
cutaway, is that it’s very dark. And I didn’t want to sacrifice Lego 9V grain
bulbs to run all weekend...so I asked Mario to help me with this project. He
wired up a total of 18 LEDs to light the station area. It’s non Lego, but I
wanted a really warm, diffuse, incandescent light.
We also got some LEDs over in a small transformer room.
Anyways, I hope you like it.

| This is really nice! I particularly like the caged section on the end. The lighting works very well (it's as lego as the ones at miniland ; ) and the overall scene is also well composed. Great work! God Bless, Nathan (URL) (18 years ago, 7-Jan-07, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, FTX)

| Very nice, Calum! :) A simple subway stop, but the details are fabulous. I particularly like the wire mesh maintenance area/electrical room. Gives it a very realistic feel.
