I’ve put some images of my CAD work in progress, typical British
urban/suburban station set in a cutting on Brickshelf
This intended to be a setting for
rolling stock similar to
Ben’s bridge but
with the added advantage of the enclosed space not causing problems with
what to do in the background. (not to say that Ben’s is bad, I like it a
lot) It is designed on a modular basis to reduce modelling time. More detail
still needs to added in the form of signals, a set of steps upto to the road
bridge etc. Individually placed things like people on the platforms and
weeds growing up the wall wll hopefully reduce the repetitiveness. Mind you
it take about 5 hours to render at present (the brickshelf images are
reduced in size)

As someone else said, too clean. It reminds me of some of the LT stations,
ones where there was Southern goods traffic as well as LT trains (out towards
Hammersmith?)(my memories of ‘96 are starting to fade- I was only there for 4
days).
Nicely done though. Quite nice.

Dirt was someting I had considered, I think it is especially difficult to do in
Lego without resorting to using lots of slightly different shaded 1X1 plates.
The other thing I had to think of was the fact that as most of it is repeating
sections the dirt would become too regular. However...
I will attempt to dirty the scene a bit both by adding trackside clutter such as
signals, telecoms boxes etc and also by adding some sort of piles of ballast and
litter somehow
thanks for the feedback and also to larry and jason, all of you have seen the
feel of the scene I was trying to create, although it wasn’t intended to be any
geographical location in the UK in particular (to allow any trains to fit in)
the places you mention are inspirations. In fact I was thinking of putting a in
a third rail for the southern region and alo modelling a tube train!
