The 157s match the best but they can be a bit costly. ANother option besides the 256 would be a 257 which is the same sattion, but w/ a built in diesel horn

It looks like the most recent re-releases with that original color scheme would be the 6-12943 or 6-14095, both from 2003. Hopefully that helps.

 

Interesting. I did pick up a 6-14095 at the Kingston, NY show, but it has a green roof and a brown base. Wonder if it was, uhh, re-packaged.

Thanks again for all your help!

One options would be the Postwar 256 station, with green roof and maroon base.  A few are on eBay right now.  Not that expensive, as compared to a Lionel 356 baggage station, which every seller has listed at high prices.  Worth a look, if it fits the bill of what you want.

Question on Lionel Station Platforms
Posted by Lionel 027 on Wednesday, March 23, 2016 11:47 AM

Good morning!

I am trying to find a station platform to match my 132 station which has the green roof and maroon base. I would actually prefer one of the re-issues. I have seen quite a few, but none that I have seen have the green roof and maroon base that matches the 132. PW 157s I have seen are quite costly if in any kind of condition.

Dos anybody here know the catalog number of a Lionel Station Platform that will have a green roof and maroon base? I can add illumination if needed.

Thanks in advance for all your help!
