My idea for the large train station would be something along these lines, just smaller. I see perhaps only 2 straight through lines, with 2 sidings off one side (terminated at the end) for a total of 4 under the roof. Somehow we'd work in the (...) (23 years ago, 3-May-01, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)

The black ones appeared mostly in the Wild West sets, such as 6769 Fort Legoredo or 6765. I've got a total of 4 - I'm sure we could find 2 (...) (23 years ago, 30-Apr-01, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)
