station 14 is city 14's train station. a train station in a city that's in a wasteland. to the north of city 14 is city 13 and west is city 15. i dont even know if i spelled city correctly. anyway city 14 is the smallest city. and is in the center of a vast desert like wasteland. population is only about a hundred because people keep killing each other, thats why its a deathmatch map.
nah im jus bulls**tin yoou, tell me what you think
Thx guys! yous are much great help. ill work right away.

Well, maybe it's a freight train station :\
Not sure myself -- it's left up to the mapper! It looked good from my perspective, but something looks a little bland (empty) with the second screen.
Its a great start, certainly doesn't suck for a first timer! My main concern outside of what has already been said is that it doesn't feel like a train station. The textures you appear to have gone for are more reminiscent of an industrial area. Take a look at the City 17 train station for more ideas on how to give across a setting convincingly.
As a newbie I am enjoying your first creation, I can understand the lack of objects etc as you are trying to get to grips with the basics

Tarky gave some great advice already, but I'd like to add that it's a bit empty and lacking in detail, especially the outside. Add a smattering of physics objects like drums and crates. The buildings would look far better with more details such as window frames etc. Look at how valve did their buildings in the single player game to get ideas. Excellent for a first map.
Actually for a first time mapper you aren't doing too bad. It is good to see you have a grasp of the editor. But some advice. Use textures that are meant for certain surfaces. In one of those shots you appear to have something that was meant for a small trim or something assigned to the roof. Also take a look at real architecture and see how strength and reinforcement is needed in buildings. You have some very thin stuff in there and some rooms etc without supports.
Also curves come in handy :), HL2 engine is very powerful use it to your advantage and make some things detailed (but not in excess).
