About this creation
This version of the Brickburg Union Station was built between November of 2001 and january of 2002. This version rebuilt the glass roof of both halves of the station, as well as the addition of a car canopy for the entrance. This version was displayed at the MichLUG display at GATS January 2002 show in Novi, Michigan.

Here is one of my favorite shots - here you can see the crack - which was caused by the shifting of plates during setup - this caused several changes in the way I approached my station.

I like this shot of the downtown area and the station - this was one of the largest layouts we ever done - and the most crowded - after this show GATS decided to pu the layouts in the back so it would not be so jammed. : )

Here is a good shot of the canopy and the service drives. I love the two lane loop around, it reminded me of airports in that fashion.

Here is a shot of the interior - you can see the staircases and th tiling, and the monorail. If I remember right, I think the monorail got caught, I had to do some minor revisions.
