Finished my WDW train station tonight. Not yet sure where I will put it ?
  Says HO on box however is closer to O scale! Had 112 snap together pieces. Railroad announcements and steam train sound effects! I like it  Big Smile [:D]Well you know, anything Diisney Smile [:)]

That looks great!  I only wish that My Wife and Son and I could be looking at the real thing right now waiting for our "Grand Circle Tour" around the Magic Kingdom!

Regards,

Jamie

Wow. Fantastic. Not your typical station, that's for sure. I know that one you built is plastic, but have you tried building any of these?

http://www.disneyexperience.com/models/model_store.html

They do rotate the free downloads occationally, so eventually all the models are free downloads at some point. I suppose that keeps folks coming back to check the site on a regular basis. And of course there are these:

I remember Disney/Sears did a Disney Town Square back in the 80's that was a bunch of cardboard cutouts of the main street shops. Unfortunately I think it may have been more G scale than O (I see them from time to time on evilbay, and are reasonably priced). I'll bet you could scan the building fronts and reprint them scaled down!.... Hmmmm. That may have potential!

Anyway though. That's a cool train station for any layout. Let alone an O scale layout! Thanks for sharing!
