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!

Train, Rail & Rail Accessory Retailers

I invite all retailers & developers of train or rail products, accessories, clothing etc to IM me to discuss setting up shops / stalls in Rail Mall, Grand Calleta Station or area. I am offering extended rent-free space until further notice if the products / services fit our vision for Grand Calleta.

I've seen ‘Rocket’ – the first loco - at platform; still being built by Letshava Goodnight. She will be adding another historic engine from the Great Western Railway in the future.

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.
