I've spent several hours lately reviewing some of the Lego train stations out there. They are simply amazing! After getting an idea of the scope of such a project, I've realized the projects you see on Brickshelf are nothing short of fantastic, getting in so many details and architectural motifs. Here are some of my favourites: http://home.zonnet.nl/ericbrok/legomind/ (Check out Otterdam and Anytown Stations) http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=96309 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=4036 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=155999 I'm thinking of building a train station too, so I built some arches today: http://peach.mie.utoronto.ca/people/tsangc/nglcl/lego-station-layout.jpg http://peach.mie.utoronto.ca/people/tsangc/nglcl/lego-station-arches.jpg My goal here was just to get an idea of what's involved in building a large train station, in terms of pieces, scales, and general layout. I just threw together some track and a few Metroliner platforms on a couple of 50x50 baseplates. What I'd like to do is to build a three track shed with a Classical period European-like station that runs parallel to the tracks. Calum

		Re: Thinking about train stations
Cool, I like your preliminary design ideas. If you're going to go ahead with a train station, then I'm going to dismantle mine. I don't really like it in its current state, I never got to add any detail to it, and it's just taking up to much space (...) (22 years ago, 17-Jun-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
