This is my main station. I've also got 4 subway stations, plus a trolley stop, and an ancient Revell station way out on a branch line.
It's actually a kit-bashed Walthers YMCA building. I cut the side walls and roof at the back to make it less deep and fit it into the available space. Since it's got large windows, I built a simple interior by printing floors and wall textures on my computer and adding a few accessories with styrene.
There are 4 tracks behind the station. 2 have platforms. The whole city block serves as a view block, and makes the layout seem larger as trains mostly disappear behind it for a short while.
I ran the platforms all along the back sides of the buildings. When I built my first subway station, I had to change the design to fit the subway trains in the station, so all my stations since then have started out with that knowledge. This station's platform can fit 5 of the passenger cars you see in the photo.
This is a Munnsville Station kit from Branchline Trains:
I used it as a Railway Express depot, not a passenger station, but it could easily be built either way.
It takes an iron man to play with a toy iron horse.
Wow
It's been a long time huh MRR folks....I see Rich and others are still around and my post is still kicking. And yep I still never got around to buying that CMR station. Its not money that stopped it but the fact that the area where the station is on the layout is on a curve so I can't fit it in. Meanwhile I have layout issues lol so the layout is on hiatus...it is scenicked though and I do have to send pictures
And just like that I'm back....how's it holding up everyone
Well lately, ressurecting old threads has been happening a lot in here, usually from a new comer.
Yours wasn't THAT old, glad your still around. At least I can still remember your avatar!

It's been almost 3 years since I've made a post and same with this thread here. I am back however. I've missed my train buddies and i've definitely got questions and issues. I'll post pics of my layout when I get home. Cheers
