I modified this vintage O gauge Plasticville train station to include realistic moving people going about their day. I also modified the building, updating the roof with gray shingle roofing and the exterior walls to a brown stucco finish with wood trim.Comments on this project appreciated, and suggestions for new projects welcome!

Very nice job. You managed to get a great deal of action in a very small scene. I like your use of readily available materials too. Plastiville and Woodland Scenics figures look very good in motion.

Outstanding really great job What you need to do is do a write-up on how you did all this and pictures and send to Bob Keller he might like it and put some change in your pocket for it

Thanks, it took a great deal of time to get it right.
suggestions for new projects welcome! I could build two!
Wow, Ron...you did a great job on the station! It must have been a challenge to animate the five figures, but your efforts sure paid off.

I, too, would like to know how you did the animation! It's terrific! -Lloyd
Amazing!

Awesome! How did you achieve the stucco look to the building? Looks really great!
Thanks everyone for the kind comments, it means alot to me. Some of you might have notice from the audio that I have autism but is gifted. this is the reason I don,t reply alot.As for the stucco finish. I used Rustoleum textured finish desert bisque, this is alsogreat for sidewalks and driveways( put cut in the sidewalk to make them real.For the animation there is 1 motor, 2 switches(foward & reverse stop) and a solid state relay with timer, and alot of levers.
Ron this is great thanks for sharing would you mind if I shared this with a few other I know. They would love to see it.
@ rtraincollector
Go ahead, I will not mine.
Very detailed Ron. Thanks so much for sharing.
This would make a great article in CTT as how to do this.
