For your edification.... I have just about completed my Metro Terminus Station. You can view it at http://www.thewilkesfamily.freeserve.co.uk/metroterminus.htm Something for train fans. Something for architecture fans. FYI It covers 6x 48 stud baseplates. There are another 4x 48 stud baseplates in the roof There are 18 packets of transulcent blue wall elements, i.e. 450 pieces, that make up the glass walls of the platforms, and some of the roof. However, its not likely to remain in this form. I want to reuse the front part of the station (the Georgian Facade) in my Metro Plaza project (the station covers one side of it). I will turn it into a civic building type thing. Meanwhile the station will get a new high tech front like the rest of the station. regards lawrence
