tonybonneyba Posted July 14, 2015 Author Posted July 14, 2015 First I've seen of this, very interesting. As a bit of a lego lover myself I've been working on my own designs a while back. Had the guts of a BR Clayton done, still needs a lot of work though. Will you be sharing the finished file? Might be interested in doing one off your instructions myself. Thank you Your BR Clayton sounds very interesting, will you be doing a thread on it if you go back to it? Wouldn't go by my instructions if I where you, my models always fall apart, but, if I get near a PC & figure out how, I'll be more than happy to upload the instructions for the DVT & any other projects relating Quote

tonybonneyba Posted July 14, 2015 Author Posted July 14, 2015 Legolip Louisa Bridge & Legoderry...? Would Legoderry be a NIR or IÉ Station? Just for signage style.... Quote
tonybonneyba Posted July 14, 2015 Author Posted July 14, 2015 I have started a design for the first terminal station IRL, but I think it'll be easier to design in LDD4. Yes. I know, three things at once, the class 201 & dedietrich set, the emerald night conversion & repairs & now stations.... At these will keep the thread going & (hopefully!) interesting. The station building will be big, but it will only have two - three platforms with "glass" canopies. I am unsure if this station will be a IÉ styled staton or a NIR one. I am unsure for a name for this station too as I want the Legoderry one to have a small building but a wide & stylish platform. I'll let you guy's & gals come up a name for the bigger station, but can NOT have the word "Lego" in it nor any thing silly daft, stupid rude or childish in it. I'll also have a small halt or two for next years Lego project (try & guess what the thump it is) so I need names for them as well. Btw, since the stations will be designed in LDD4, it will allow me to upload the instructions for the station if I figure out how. Quote
GSR 800 Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 How bout Bonney Rd station eh? Maybe I am just talking jibberish Quote
tonybonneyba Posted July 15, 2015 Author Posted July 15, 2015 For a halt, maybe I see your joke btw & like it Quote
Broithe Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 Would Legoderry be a NIR or IÉ Station?Just for signage style.... Dangerously 'political'...? Quote
tonybonneyba Posted July 15, 2015 Author Posted July 15, 2015 Would " Lidl Brikton " fit in anywhere, How about something related to the great 80 class or even Belfast & not a shop down the road from me? I like Brikton btw Quote
tonybonneyba Posted July 20, 2015 Author Posted July 20, 2015 Right, I starte on the station in LDD4 today, but I want to know what you gentlemen & ladies want to see first, the 201, the station or the smoky genny? Quote
GSR 800 Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 The station is what I would love to see, leave the 201 for last, build up anticipation! Quote
tonybonneyba Posted July 21, 2015 Author Posted July 21, 2015 Smoke genny?!?! The mark 3 enterprise generator which will be fitted with a smoke generator & a Lego battery box to power coach lighting Quote
GSR 800 Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 Then the genny,your skill with Lego is on a finescale standard:) Quote
tonybonneyba Posted July 21, 2015 Author Posted July 21, 2015 Then the genny,your skill with Lego is on a finescale standard:) Thank you! Sorry, but I just started on the station in LDD4, but I promise that I will do the smokey genny next then the 201. Any ideas on where I can get a good 00 smoke generator? Quote

tonybonneyba Posted July 22, 2015 Author Posted July 22, 2015 Station Names & bases: The past couple of days, I've been hard thinking of station & station halt names & as a result these are the names & station based ons: GREAT BRICKTORIA STREET / GBS This station will be the station that is currently WIP in LDD4 (see above). The station will have the the information area based on the one in GVS bus station, a foot bridge at the end of the station which will be based off Moria's new one & the cafe area based off in Connolly Hunter Street This station is a halt based off various different NIR halts with a small station building & a glass conapy on one platform. It is named Hunter street after my mums side of the family. It will contain a level crossing, a small station building, a glass canopy, modern station signs on one side, class 1980s/1990s NIR ones on the other side. This station will able to hold a 2 car train on both platforms. Oliver's Road This station will be based at the border between NI & Ireland. It will hold a three car train on the main two platforms & a 2 car train in the bay platform. One platform will be IÉ based will two & two A platforms will be NIR based. It will have the old school tin shelters from NIR on one platform while the other will have a small but nice looking station building & canopy. It will have the late 90's - 2006 style station signs. The station name is based off my best friends last name. To be named This station will be Irish based & will be modern styled. I'm not sure what it will be like as of yet, all I know is that its modern, it has three platforms/ 4 tracks & it will hold a 4 car + loco train & its Irish. It will be named by a friend from DCDR, so no more name suggestions. Tony. Quote
jhb171achill Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 Wow! A very unusual and welcome addition to the general world of modelling! Quote
tonybonneyba Posted July 23, 2015 Author Posted July 23, 2015 Sorry fo nothing on the station for a while, or anything really, I've been busy with other things & will be.... You have track, trains & stations, but how do you maintain & keep trains? - a depot, I might in the future build a small depot, while your waiting for the next update, why not suggest things for the depot, what depots it should be based on & names (with out Lego or brick in them!) Tony. Quote
tonybonneyba Posted July 24, 2015 Author Posted July 24, 2015 Wow! A very unusual and welcome addition to the general world of modelling! Indeed it is unusual, but I like it Hope you're enjoying the forum so far.... Quote
tonybonneyba Posted July 24, 2015 Author Posted July 24, 2015 Tonight, i have done some work on Great Bricktroia Street Station, this involved fixing the information/ticket sales desk, adding adverts & information posters to the information / tickets sales desk & adding details inside that area. I also added barriers & gates to get on the platform, & details to the unfinished platform stairs. I have also added a sitting area & a built up area for a small cafe/shop wich is the same height as the platform. You may have also noticed that i have added a upper level, this is for control & signaling. I have done another change which ill let you keen eyes point out Let me know what you think of GBS so far & suggestions etc. Enjoy! Tony. Quote
tonybonneyba Posted July 25, 2015 Author Posted July 25, 2015 After researching, looking through forums & threads, my friend decided a name for the last station.... Kingsbrick station More updates to come.... Quote
