SLFlyer, Station Road and Place du Train

We have bought more land in Calleta!
We have laid Station Road.
SLFlyer will have its Travel Agency with Hoster Posters next door to Station Bar & SL Orient Express VIP Lounge.
SLFlyer will be on the other side of the road and will rez/de-rez (technology permitted) to creat impression of travel.
Place du Train (or Piazza del Treno / Zugplatz / Train Square) will lie between Station Road and Sirkeci / Grand Calleta Terminal. Needs landscaping.
Rail Mall is now visible from all over Grand Calleta.
Invite friends to view - we will 'formally' open Station Bar & Orient Express VIP Lounge in a couple of weeks with some SL PR pizzazz!

Station Bar & Orient Express VIP Lounge

We are now decorating and furnishing the Station Bar & Orient Express VIP Lounge in Grand Calleta.
The Station Bar is a PG bar and dance club specially for friends and newbies to hang out close to the trains.
The Orient Express VIP Lounge is a venue for discussing rail business in SL with other rail companies, train owners, developers and corporate sim owners.
We have two managers for the venues.
When all is ready, we will be promoting the venues through SL newspapers and other PR channels.
Footfall is important to Grand Calleta and the subsequent success of ventures such as SLFlyer. Station Bar & Orient Express VIP Lounge will encourage visitors.

Grand Calleta Terminal & Sirkeci Station

Grand Calleta Terminal is on the Great Second Life Railway (GSLR) and is a transfer point to the Second Life Railroad (SLRR).
It will host the Second Life Rail Museum and provides rail yards for other Train owners free of charge.
Grand Calleta stands opposite the planned Rail Mall.
Grand Calleta is based on Sirkeci Station in Istanbul Turkey and is being designed by SL Engineer & Architect Qu Qi. Sirkeci was designed by a French architect for a Bavarian-born Belgian banker in 1873 under concessions granted by the Ottoman Sultan. (We did not invent globalization!) It was the terminal for the original Orient Express.
Grand Calleta will be the terminal for the Second Life Orient Express (SLOE), a subsidiary of Train Chartering.
We need high resolution photos of Sirkeci Station - can anyone help? Close ups of wall texture, windows, interiors etc.
