The Dual Platform Station

This is the first Ehrlich built dual platform station. Located in (Lego) Chicago it is much more realistic than any other before. It is six layers high and has one long center corridor that turns into a T when it reaches the indoor ticket booth. At either end of the T there is a door to outside and a few steps up to the first platform. This platform is white with a ramp going down on each side for mail and other dollies. In the middle of this platform there are three waiting seats right next to a pedestrian bridge. To the left of the seats is the on-platform ticket booth with green shutters. Right above the waiting chairs there is a huge magnificent clock. Also at either end of the platform, near the ramps are flags in the station's colors (not seen in any picture) and yellow flowers.

On the other side of pedestrian bridge there is a wonderful arched red roof for protection against the elements. Unfortunately there are two tracks, yes, but no switches! So the second track goes around in a circle and the first one goes up to a very basic form of turntable. Right between the two tracks is a brown water tower (unfortunately no pictures.) It has a hinge in the middle and a rubber belt attached at either end so that it snaps up and it snaps down, to fill the Saturn with water.
