Barrie's Department store!
Here is my department store street scene.
It's 4 storeys tall and the interior is fully furnished.
The ground floor is a food hall. The 1st floor is furniture and home wares. The second floor is ladies wear and the top floor is a restaurant.
The exterior design is inspired by a department store in my hometown of Newcastle Upon-Tyne. There is a picture at the back of the set for reference. Since that picture was taken the building has undertaken some expansion and looks different but I loved the high windows and expansiveness of this building and wanted to keep that in my creation. The ground floor is my own creation. With my habit of creating a new vehicle for every new model I chose to make a tram this time round. It was not a tram found in that area at the time. It's loosely based on the balloon trams from Blackpool(UK) in the late 1930's. It's not meant as an exact replica I just loved the streamlined design.
