Ironwings makes a nice facade, bit pricey, but powder coated steel, so it will live outside longer than we will. Throw on a coat of automotive paint and it is good for 20+? years.

House of Balsa makes just the thing, its 1/24 but it balsa which means if its going to be outdoors it will need to be treated with some sort of penetrating sealer, if its indoors, just build it set it and forget it

I have one of these on my indoor layout they are great kits and easy to build.

 

   Have fun with your trains

Station/Depot Facade
Posted by Lodens5 on Wednesday, February 16, 2011 3:15 AM

Hi there ,

I want to build a Station or depot Facade for my railroad in the wild west era, the depth I have is 4 inches. Have any of you built one, or have you any pictures of one.I have already built a station, but that is too big so it will go at the other end of my folded dog bone shape railway, I have looked through all of my garden railway mags but cannot find any thing. thanks for your help 

Dennis from New Zealand.
