Unfortunately I can't make it to the meeting in october, I'll be in Portugal
then. It seems the week was a bad choice since I also miss the Euro-meeting
in Zwolle and Spiel in Essen :-(

Thanks! I'm allready adding the details, it should be a busy station with
lots of things going on :-)

I really like the half timbered look and probably the building will be half
timbered from the roof upwards.

I plan to make the top part symmetrical. The left tower floor will host a
restaurant and the extended front is intended to look like something which
was added later when the station was already in full use. I'm pleased with
the way the different tower floors and the roof connected to it worked out :-)

Hmm, you're right. I'll experiment with a half timbered and see what it will
look like. I'm afraid the half timbered would be 'overdone' or 'overused'
but perhaps it works alright. You never know if you don't try! ;-)
Otherwise I stick to the later-added-story and grey walls were faster to
build in order to keep the station fully functioning while the modifications
were added.
