the yellow strip is in the style of the 'do not cross the yellow line' that is
on many UK stations to prevent people standing to close to the edge.
The subtle changes were more often forced through lack of bricks! e.g. the
yellow cones that go on the roof are currently in use on a pirate ship I
bought at a car boot sale that was missing them!
Also I didnt have enough small yellow round 'caps' that are used to add detail
along the roof line.

Agreed. Wouldnt it have been easy to include a few plates for a canopy.
I would like to build a bigger station still.
I am trying to collect the bits for it but things like platforms are difficult
to find, or expensive at auctions.
I want to build a terminus, Waterloo style, with the metro station facing end
on and several platforms with a row of shops along the concorse, and of course
a glass roof.
