Hello all. I am another AFOL that has just come out of a long hibernation
for trains... after reading all the info last year on needing to Save 9V
Trains, I thought I better get on board before it was too late...
When I went to S@H to get the new Hobby Train set (BTW - kudos to all that
contributed) I was ‘wowed’ by the Corner Café and its architectural elements
and colors. Since I am restarting my collection from scratch, I thought I
could make a really nice Train Station out of the set.
The attached pictures I posted on Brickshelf are the result.

This design took some time to figure out, but it’s pretty strait-forward
using the architectural elements of the Corner Café. I’m considering a few
modifications, like modifying the “WEST” station sign to be horizontal on the
front entrance canopy. Also not sure on platform height I want. Right now it
is at level with the holiday train passenger car doors. I may want to lower
it a brick heigth to have a step-up instead...I didn’t have too many pieces
left over, maybe 10-15% (mostly small pieces and long brick in brown color).
Any thoughts? Anyone else make a train station out of the set yet?

Great stuff Ted!
I also purchased the café, which in my opnion does indeed contains the right
pieces for a classic-looking station. I was actually thinking of buying a 2nd
set to make a ‘Grand Station’, you did beat me on the idea of a station though,
with honours!
Cheers,
L.

| (...) Thanks Laurent. After I completed the station, I did have the same thought of getting a second cafe to extend it. I guess that is the way of the AFOL, always wanting to build more... I'm sure you will beat me to that, and I would enjoy seeing (...) (18 years ago, 16-Apr-07, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
