| Here
is a shot of the station, you can see that we got it pretty much wrapped
up. You can see the signature diamond shaped window in the front, as
well as the windows, which finally came in. |
 |
| Here
is a close up of the side of the station, where the monorail track
enters. You can see the monorail stanchion on the side here, we raised
it up to accommodate numerous trains coming through our display. You can
also see the beautiful side windows and arches, which enables a lot of
light to get into the interior. It also helps to have a glass roof! :

| This
is the back part of the station, where the trains enter. My initial
thoughts on this was it was going to be a huge wall, tilted back, and
then coming over. However, Tony came up with this concept, which still
looks great. You can see the arches we later took out, along with the
glass roof, which was redesigned later after the fundraiser. You can
also see the side design of the back part. |
 |
| Here
is a close up shot of the back, and how the angled walls work. SNOT
even. You can see the panels for the roof, it is basically just the
1x4x3 windows with some bricks around. However, we found these to be
very unstable, and it needed something more sturdy. |
 |
| Here
is the other side of the station, you can see the panels for the roof,
along with the side design. |
 |
| Here
is the train entrance area, you can see we accommodated the train height,
as well as the entrances to each of the platforms. The windows on top
are for the walkway from the entrances to the second track. You can also
see some minifigs used for testing, and the garage door Tony forgot to
put in the platform entrance. FIRED!!!! |
 |
| Here
is a shot of the start of the monorail stop. You can see the gray
arches, needed for the roof support, and the staircase. Notice how the
other side of the platform didn't have a staircase. You can also see the
door of the entrance to the office area, all of that changed between the
fundraiser and GATS in January of 2002. You can also see the windows put
there so you can see the monorail going inside. |

| Here
is a close up of the diamond window, inspired by Amy Hughes beautiful office building she built for various shows. |
 |
| Here
is a shot of the side, we used the 1x1 light gray bricks with the 2x2
for the pattern, looks spiffy. |
 |
| Here
is another close shot of the pattern, and you can see the huge side
windows. |
 |
| Here
is a good front shot, with the glass on roof. |
 |
| Here
is a detail shot of the interior, and how the monorail fits
inside. |
