"Big Red" Train Station Update - 01/08/02

Here is the last pictures of the train station before the Novi GATS Show, Tony came down and helped me all weekend to finish this up in time. Unfortunately, we did not get a whole lot of pictures of this. : ) 

 

For a bigger picture, simply click on the thumbnails here.

Here is the completion of the station, ready for the show. We put plates around it, along with the canopy, and did some minor landscaping, to give it a better feel.  
Here is the canopy, you can see the spanning across 2 plates, as well as the flowers, the trees, and the sidewalks. We used some unusual road plates to complete the canopy, but just made custom roads for the next version. The gray 2x2 round tiles were for covering up the bottom of the bricks, I did not like the look of this too much. The pile of 9V batteries are rechargeable, for the upcoming show.  You can also see the roof, Tony redid it all, to be more stable, and came out better. however, it was complex, and I had a hard time putting it together. I changed it for the next show in July.
Here is a detail shot, a bunch of LEGO rail people walking the grounds. you can see the guard booth here (Pre-caution, especially after 9/11) and some of the detailing of the sides, with hills, and trees, and the lights. You can see a little of the tiling inside.  
Here is another shot of the detailing, on the back of the station,  where the trains enter and exit. You can see also the walkway between the front and the back, the windows, and the garage doors. 
Oh, this is a nice shot, the detailing of the road going back into the station, you can see the lights, the ones being worked on in the back, the guard booth, some more details, and our cutoff of the road. : )
