Really beautiful start. Since I know some of your finished 8highly detailed
buildings) I'm sure this will become an eye catcher also.

I agree: the halftimbered look is at least very typical for German
station buildings architecture, and I think it might be the same for the
Netherlands.

One question: is it planned to build the station in full symmetry? Or are the
two different designs of the 1st floor of the tower not meant as trials, which
looks better? If you will do a change for full symmetry, I would prefer the
left towers design.
I think it is unusual to have the walls in front of the right tower made out of
(grey) bricks. These walls would have nothing to bear (since there is no 2nd
floor above them. I think you would build these walls out of (white painted)
wood or in half timbered mode in real life.
Kind Regards,
Ben
