    Ahh it has a sort of Lancashire/Yorkshire look about it, not personally what I would call northern (born & breed Geordie here) but looks absolutly belter, is it a terminus or a through station, because personally just from the look of the station it would work better as a thru station.

    Nice work.  I've used plenty of stations in my current region and I've noticed that each seems to be either a through station or a terminus.  Nice to see you creating a mixed platform station.  It's pretty common for a mid-size town to have a station with terminal platforms for local lines and a through main line.
     
    Just a couple of thoughts, though ... one is not to forget a disabled ramp with all those steps leading up to the station and secondly that I think the shop signs would look better set into the arches rather than running across them.

    Wonderful stuff tonks, only thing I would personally change is add a regional railways name on the building such as GNER, perhaps put a few bars in the ground floor of the building as is quite common with most of our stations up here in the North , oh and put in a taxi rank just outside the station.

    Just thought I would say your bats have improved significantly over the past few releases.  That is not meant as a criticism of past work but just an acknowledgement of even better work.  Well done!

    Good, but those offices seem to be 5 feet wide...47.gif

    The model is very good, though, we need more modernism/internationalism style buildings.19.gif

    Great work, tonks. I like your new set with modern buildings. The Euston Tower is no exception. Maybe a bit more work with the transfer between the roof and the wall but I guess you've thought of that already, anyway, great building. Regards,

    I have spent 6 hours working on the walls of this one, so a lot of work has gone into this. It will soon be One Cabot Square, Canary Wharf, London.

    This last one looks like something that will be featured in one of the many amazing Palm Point skylines. 2.gif

    Progress Report

     
    Heres an update on One Cabot Square, i have added a temporary roof and completed the ground floor columns. I still need to model the ground floor offices, add some interior floors to prevent being able to see through to the other side, and add the entrances.
