Lead lettering is pinned to the top lintel allowing fingers of shadow to move across the upper part of the model. The size of this model makes it suitable as a centrepiece.

The substation's function is portrayed through the form and symbols of this Deco frontage; the electricity generated within suggested by the lightening bolt above. Tim decided to produce this model after he visited New York in 1997.
"The door seemed to capture the mood, the interface between the dark subways beneath and towering walls above.

Its vandalised mesh fence, rivet welded inner door and no active driveway signs seemed to characterise the threat and excitement of downtown Manhatten. If Gotham City does exist it must be reached through such a portal."
