Seems to me this is one good candidate for a model, yes its big, but it could be selectively compressed a bit, yet retain it looks very well. Its not too complicated a station, not much in the way of arch heavy details (that often present modelers with headaches on how to model effectively) shortened station tracks and reduced amount of storage tracks would help, as is its about 10 tracks across plus a few passenger storage tracks between the main and the station.

Corrected typing error. The question was "Ostbahnhof kurz". Johanna added "Vienna", as the "Wiener Ostbahnhof" was mentioned in other questions. And "Ostbahnhof" is "East(ern) station".

Vienna East Station [Ostbahnhof], limited services
"In diesem Projektteil müssen die Bauflächen im Bereich der bestehenden Halle des Südbahnhofs und der Flächen in Richtung Arsenalstraße freigemacht werden. Damit der Bahnbetrieb aufrechterhalten werden kann, ist die sogenannte Kürzung „Wien Südbahnhof Ostseite“ erforderlich. Der „Ostbahnhof kurz“ bleibt bis zur Teilinbetriebnahme des neuen Hauptbahnhofs (geplant für Ende 2012) in Betrieb."

: Von Wien ist hier keine Rede. // Und limited service verstehe ich als eingeschränktem Betrieb. Das hat mit der Kürzung der Bahngleise nur indirekt zu tun.
