Started work on the Terminus style station I proposed for the Legofest railway
layout
Visit the following for a view of the front of the station
http://homepages.tesco.net/~lawrence.wilkes/metroterminus.htm

This is 5 platform plates wide
Provides the main building to front a terminus with platforms in an e shape

hopefully this conveys proposed layout

Key F-Facade (as in picture) C-Concourse (on rest of base plate from facade),
P - platform plate, S - sloping platform plate

Main inhibitor to this design is 30 odd platform plates!
This allows the platform to run full length of a metro liner with club car
We could use less plates with shorter platform and not doubling up on the
concourse side.

My other main problem is finishing the side walls of the station. I wanted a
modern glass wall effect - but where to get all those pieces.
I have an innovative roof solution that would cover the entire station though.

lawrence

I liked this. It is hard to get an idea of the scale, but it does look
pretty big. I always tend to think of stations being a point on the line, as
opposed to being at the end of it. This may due to that fact that I grew up
in a small town. Now all you need it some pigeons and your all set.

It sits on 2 48 stud bases. The building is about 2 feet wide, several inches
tall.

Whereas I have obviously spent too much time coming in and out of London
Waterloo.
