Looks like the Train Tech Building Contest at Eurobricks is bringing train fans out of the woodwork. Josh Morris (I Scream Clone) has drawn inspiration from his local Wollongong (wool-on-gong to the non-natives) stations for this cute little destination. I’m particularly drawn to the grille bricks under the arches but given the scarcity of Aus-inspired train stations it was always going to be a winner in my eyes.
I used to to live down in the ‘Gong (i.e. Wollongong Region), and before I read the text to this blog entry, I blurted out “Gee, that building almost looks like the station building at Wollongong railway station!”. I nearly fell out of my chair when I read that Josh’s inspiration is *indeed* Wollongong Railway Station! lol :-)
