Me and the girlfriend have been playing split-screen for some time, and while we nabbed some designs off Jamziboy's youtube videos, we wanted to make a train station to jump across the map....but we cant find any we like....
What we've finished on was making a tower, and having the tower launch trains up, up, up and shoot down the map- it works good, but we still don't like the surrounding structure.....
So we're looking for a design- completely aesthetic, and relatively compact- no more than 30 X 20. The train launcher is all set.....we just want to make it look...pretty, you know?
Anyone got any ideas? Because a 6X6 tower with a stairway doesn't look all that great.....and all we can find online is tortorials for the wiring, or designs that use mods....which isn't much use on the Xbox....
*** Accidently erased my post but ya, go check out CNBMinecraft's Train Station. I'm 1000% sure it's better than mine, even though I haven't watched it.
Lol our problem isn't wiring, though- its just looks....we can't find a way to make it look nice....we're good at dublicating designs or building off them, but all we can find is house designs, or hugely elaborate designs...
They dont need wiring help. They want to deal with the aesthetic side of things now. How it looks, unfortunately I havent come across many good looking ones, how about photo reference images of real stations?
On my main world I've been using only sandstone and glass on my stations. Since I don't use that combination often, it makes them easy to spot from a distance.
I cannot remember who, but someone on the forums built a roller coaster and put fence posts going down the sides of their roller-coaster. You could try that for your train station's track ramp.
I took up Fayzeds idea and I liked his design- but after the update, I've attempted to mash CNB's design with Fayzeds....its looking like it'll work, but one things still troubling me....
when I had it running on the old server, you could never tell if a traincar was waiting to go. Because of this, sometimes you'd hit the button 2 or 3 times, which would cause a jam and make it useless....
Is there anyway to make it so I know there's a traincar waiting? Keep in mind that Fayzed's plans actually has it end off the track....

Can you post a screenshot? You could probably set up a detector rail and this place the cart is "waiting" at, invert the signal, and wire it to a general indicator.
