The Sheltie East Station is the first station on the sheltie east line. It is located in a small dark oak forest next to a river approximately 1400 blocks east of spawn on the Sheltie world of Survival 6!

Design and Construction

The station exterior was originally designed by 20.png XPModder as a potential design for Sheltie Grand Central station, but later a different design by 20.png Skelleton123 was chosen to be used as Grand Central Station. The interior of the station was largely designed by 20.png H_Di_Chemici with some adjustments later made by XPModder to better fit its new role as a 'regular' station and to integrate the other transport networks.

When the decision was made to use Skelleton123's design for Grand Central Station instead of this one, the design was already basically complete. Due to this and the amount of work already put into it, XPModder decided to use the design for the first station on his line, the Sheltie East line.

After the location had been found and the area was flattened, the station was finally constructed in survival by XPModder with help from 20.png Proud_Looney and thanks to a lot of generous donations from various players. Notably 20.png Xambaka, 20.png tijnybricks and 20.png maddy_monster donated large amounts of materials to the construction of the station.

Connection to the SRN and other transport networks

After the station had been mostly finished a build session was hosted by XPModder and H_Di_Chemici on the 17th of January to build both the Sheltie South and East lines and connect this station to the, at the time under construction, Grand Central station at spawn.

As this station is located next to a river, XPModder also built a dock in front of the station and included all the requirements for a CSC port in the station. With this, the station also became a official CSC port.

Additionally a small stable was built into the station, also making it a RHN shelter. Two RHN roads are directly connected to the station. One main road, running in East/West direction to eventually also connect to spawn, as well as a second road, starting at a T-junction on the North-West corner of the station, which runs south-west to 20.png mrkalaspuff's base.

Like all SRN stations, this station is also connected to the NTN via a nether portal on the ground floor.

With connections to all 4 transport networks, the station proudly presents the banners for all the networks on both sides!

Trivia

  • As the station was completed and opened before the End dimension was available, for the first month of its existence the station was actually missing a number of end rods, that are used both as lighting and for decoration in various places. The end rods were finally placed shortly after the End had been opened.
  • Due to its size, even with all 4 transport networks, a considerable amount of space on the top floor was left empty. This space is now occupied by XPModders personal storage system and smelter array. With this, the station now also functions as kind of a base for XPModder.
