Build step by step

01

Step 1. Set three green base plates side by side, with their long edges touching, for the platform.

02

Step 2. Put three white window frames across the back edge, one on each plate. Their openings face the waiting area.

03

Step 3. Put green tall square bricks at the front left, middle and right for roof posts.

04

Step 4. Top each green post with a green square brick. The posts now reach the same height as the back frames.

05

Step 5. Join the back frames with two white medium plates turned across their tops. The plates meet in the middle.

06

Step 6. Join the front posts with two more white medium plates, meeting above the middle post.

07

Step 7. Make a long bench with three blue long bricks end to end across the platform. Leave one clear row between the bench and the front posts.

08

Step 8. Cap each bench section with a blue small plate turned across it.

09

Step 9. Put three red base plates over the white beams, side by side, running from back to front for the shelter roof.

10

Step 10. Centre the yellow long brick across the roof for a plain station sign. Add a stop name on a separate paper card if you wish.
