hey progress is progress and at the current rate of progress pretty soon
I'll actually have a second train station in my city because I've made
good progress since the last time once again so this is really coming together
with the major structures the canopy or the cover their roof over the main
platform or half of a platform is actually attached now the kind of floor
layout of the place is a little better solidified I've got the attendance booth
there actually attached to the plate or the base plate down beneath I've got a
little bit of a template for a gloriously 70s
hopefully seventies maybe a little bit 80s style there and early 80s fence
that's done in black powder coated iron or some kind of metal there but she's
got a little different kind of style there that needs to be extended around
the back but I need to get some more pieces and then I also got a different
slightly different style just keeping with the curves and the black powder
coated metal for the fencing going down the longer end of the platform but you
see how this kind of fits in next to where I'm going to have the maintenance
yard for the passenger train you know system I'll come in here so this is just
a a much better use of space much more efficient use of space than my first
station was which has a lot of dead space in the equivalent of that area and
I worked out exactly where the machines are gonna go and let me take you around
to the other side so I got a few basic kind of skylights that are a little bit
frosted in the top didn't want those to be just plain clear I actually put those
in mostly not to allow light down onto the platform but to bring in that
greenish cyan ish kind of tinge which just reminds me of scenes that I saw
around train stations and similar things in the early to mid-1980s almost has a
little bit of a sense of fluorescent lighting if you think of this
being you know in the evening instead but during the day I think it's just the
time when it makes the most sense to me just bring in that color which is not
intended to look pretty it's just intended to kind of capture
that era for me you know this was made quite some time ago and they did
retrofit it they didn't update the machines and such but most of the
structure that's here it has been preserved over the decades just like
happens in real life not everything is is updated you know so just kind of
captures some things that I wanted to see and I got some benches in here with
a different design I just wanted to bring in some kind of curving to the the
backs of them ideally I would like would have like these to be completely round
and to look just like single poured concrete you know molded parts that are
just completely all the way around to really touch back to some some things
that I remember from my childhood but at this scale it's just not feasible at all
you definitely do it at a larger scale but with this lego city scale that I'm
going for for all of my stuff I think this is
about the best that I can do and a tricky little build I show a picture of
how those go together with the studs on the side construction on on Instagram
just it's kind of a sandwich where you've got studs on the right studs on
the left and they're attached on basically the sides of the builds of the
seats I'm actually might actually shorten the tiles down the side tiles
the one by three is down to one by twos to make them look a little bit less like
couches but when you realize that this is concrete you know it's completely
hard then it doesn't quite look so comfortable as the the shape suggests
but I got that same style of fencing coming up back behind here and that just
continues around so that would kind of just represent what had been originally
the standard for this station and I'm almost ready to start bringing in some
many things here obviously minifigs cannot be securely attached
to the benches there but that's okay and you know just a compromise for their
shape but yeah this is coming along pretty soon it'll actually be done the
next major thing that I'm going to do some small details in here but the next
major thing I need to do is figure out what I'm gonna do for the flooring both
outside and inside of the station and I'll probably come up with some small
thing to put in there but you know I don't want this to be too plain looking
but at the same time I don't want it to look too fancy either it cannot kind of
break the the motif you know it all has to kind of look like it goes together
the story needs to make sense me too needs to continue to make sense as I've
figured it out and as it is kind of evolved on its own a little bit so
that's just that good progress once again I think and I'm looking forward to
like I said getting this thing done pretty quickly so I can move on but I'm
I'm really happy with actually the choice I wasn't planning this out quite
so much to kind of fit with the the overall needs of the city for where
things need to be built up in terms of when I need to work on what but it
actually helps to me visually quite a bit to help kind of balance off what
areas of this entire city are or you're built up and are closer to completion
compare it to those that still need work I think it actually looks better from
the other side but that's enough for this video showed you want to want it to
show and I'm gonna get back to work on it thanks for watching
you
