Tropical Station was loosely based on architecture found in the Dutch Caribbean, on islands like Aruba. The station had a bright colour palette that deliberately contrasted the lush green of the jungle surrounds. Built predominantly out of cyan concrete, textured with warped wood, wool and concrete powder, with quartz framing around the main structure. The bright orange roof made out of red sandstone, brick and granite provided another sharp contrast to the blues of the walls. The station itself bore resemblance to [[Seaside Station]], part of the SRN network on Husky. | |||

About The Station
Tropical Station was loosely based on architecture found in the Dutch Caribbean, on islands like Aruba. The station had a bright colour palette that deliberately contrasted the lush green of the jungle surrounds. Built predominantly out of cyan concrete, textured with warped wood, wool and concrete powder, with quartz framing around the main structure. The bright orange roof made out of red sandstone, brick and granite provided another sharp contrast to the blues of the walls. The station itself bore resemblance to Seaside Station, part of the SRN network on Husky.
Tropical Station was an average-sized station on the network, with several spacious rooms and landscaped areas around the station. The main atrium was centered by a palm tree stretching up to the ceiling. The smaller waiting room next to the main atrium also had a central palm tree in it. The station had 2 main line connections and just 2 branch line connections, mainly due to how remote it was. The main atrium also included the NTN connection as well as network maps and a map of the surrounding area. The waiting room next door had several seating areas and bookshelves, as well as a Monty Coffee stand. The room was also decorated with various items and banners from old server events, and contained regular station utilities like anvils and ender chests in it.
A staircase located to the side of the waiting room took players upstairs to a large open top landing area. Decorated by two large palm trees and also included some bed benches around the sides. From there, players were able to enter the top room where the majority of the stations beds were located, as well as a journey timetable showing the journey times each station on the Akita South Line was from Tropical. Nearby the station was a CSC port. It featured the same block palette to the main station, and was an open roofed design bordered by two large towers with conical turrets atop them, with the south line yellow flag waving from each. Standard amenities were found in the CSC port, such as lodestone compass dispensers and boat chests etc. On the other side of the area, a small grove of palm trees were found at the beach. A large bonfire was located in the center of the grove with several small benches scattered around the bonfire.
During the opening another of 
Wanderer_06's pigs, Mr Piggo, tragically passed away after being pushed off the station roof by 
Ze_Tais. A small funeral was held and a grave stone was made in the station grounds. Player 
CardnialOmega ended up being buried alongside Mr Piggo, due to being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
