Brick Central Station

This is "Brick Central Station", a terminal in LEGO City.

While it is not based on a specific model, it follows traditional European architectural design and features a color scheme that pays homage to the 2150 Railway Station released in 1996.

This station serves as both the starting and ending point for various LEGO trains, operating on two tracks.

 

I have designed several trains in the past, some of which I have submitted to LEGO Ideas.

Through this process, I realized the need for a station to bring all these trains together.

A city also needs a station—because cities grow around stations.

LEGO has released several attractive station sets through official products, LEGO Ideas, and the BrickLink Designer Program.

However, I wanted a large, traditional terminal-style station, so I decided to design one myself.

Initially, I considered basing the design on a specific real-world station.

However, due to the 5,000-piece limit, I aimed to capture the essence of traditional European architecture while incorporating various styles and balancing piece count with overall design.

For example, the first floor of the station features a patterned tile design, whereas the platform area remains simple with plates.

To allow for more flexible design, I intentionally avoided the modular building standard and put extra effort into detailing the station’s side structures.

While my greatest hope is for this to become an official LEGO product, I also wish for this submission, along with others, to convey to LEGO designers that stations are a crucial element in shaping LEGO City.

Full view of the station

Characterized by a red exterior with white trim, paying homage to the 2150 Railway Station color scheme

The two-story building features an arched window and a shed in the center of the 2nd floor

A clock and train emblem are positioned above the entrance

Skylights integrated into the shed allow for better lighting

Side view of the station

Not designed in a modular format but follows the front-facing design

Platform shed features arches and fences, with vines growing in some areas

The platform is long enough to accommodate three standard LEGO train cars

(Additional space is provided for the Emerald Night’s tender car, but no trains are included)

・Images 4–5:

Although it is a two-story structure, the shed’s height makes it closer to a three-story building

The roof and second-floor sections can be removed

・Images 6–7:

Platform-side details

The high ceiling under the shed creates an open and airy design

A staircase with a landing on the café side leads to the second floor

・Image 8:

Includes 6 minifigures

Each passenger has a bag, and the bartender comes with a cocktail shaker

・Image 9:

First-floor interior: Shop, café, and ticket counter

The modern design contrasts with the exterior, featuring monochrome tones and glass walls

Information monitors and ticket vending machines are installed

The shop, named "fresh mini", sells snacks and drinks (designed as a branch of 60347 Grocery Store, connecting it to LEGO City)

The café is also linked to 60423 Downtown Streetcar and Station as another branch location

・Images 10–13:

Image 11: Inside the café → A restroom is located under the stairs, along with a well-stocked counter and tables near the windows

Image 12: Second-floor lounge → A bartender serves drinks, with a comfortable seating area

Image 13: Platform view from the information monitor → Passengers can scan their tickets and get ready to board the train

・Images 14–15:

The opposite side of the station features a staircase leading from the ticket counter to the staff office

The office includes a station master’s room

 

I hope this project captures the imagination of LEGO fans and contributes to the growth of LEGO City.
