Sunbeam Station was a station on the Akita Ring Line, on the Survival 5 Akita world of the Dogcraft Server. The station was designed and built by 20.png SarahPantera100 as part of the Station Building Competition that ran through August 2023. The station would win joint third place alongside 20.png Mika_Panda and 20.png TrainerMoon's Train Station. It would open on the 27th of September 2023, alongside Northeast Station and Green Coast Station. This opening would be the final activity of the SRN on Survival 5.

About The Station

The station is one of the largest on Akita, rivalled only by Reservoir and Moon Heights. The station uses every colour imaginable, giving it a unique style not seen anywhere else on the SRN. The main portion of the station is pink, with pixel art unicorn heads adorning the two side towers, which rise to a pinnacle with sun rays emanating from it. Several large archways provide exit points for rail lines and entry points for players, each decorated with bright frames of crimson wood and gold blocks. The upper portion of the build features a large clockface, with a rainbow arching overtop of it and more sun rays. The roof is comprised of weathered copper, with a large hemisphere of a globe crowning the top of the station.


The gardens of the station are decorated with large ponds where frogs and axolotls swim freely, a colourful flower meadow surrounds the rest of the build, with several warped wood trees drooping over the hillside the station rise from. Inside the build is kept open plan, with only the occasional dividing wall, to give a sense of the massive scale of the station. The centerpiece of the main atrium is a giant crescent moon suspended by a golden chain over an ornately decorated floor. Several trees, plants and seating areas break up the space in the central atrium, with a large NTN portal covering one side of the room. A small concessions stand can be found in this area too staffed by a Minecraft version of one of SarahPantera100's cats.


At the western wing of the station, a cafe can be found, staffed by another of SarahPantera100's cats. The cafe area is decorated with tables and chairs, and a large countertop serving food. A staircase leading up to a loft area above the cafe contains more amenities, such as furnaces and smokers. On the eastern wing of the station, a large lounge area is found, complete with sofas made of beds and other amenities like crafting tables and enderchests. Taking the stairs further up you find more platforms with beds in them decorated to be like clouds suspended in the air.
