Union Station Interior
Posted by topcopdoc on Monday, September 3, 2007 7:40 AM

I would like to add interior details such as benches, ticket counters, vending machines, and etc. to my Walther's Union Station. Has anyone seen any scratch built articles or know where I can I find a good but inexpensive source for these details?

Thanks Doc

You might find something useful here at Jax. They have whole interior kits or they sell individual pieces.

Once you find some decent interior photos of prototype facilities, most interior details are pretty easy to scratchbuild, especially if you're willing to settle for detail that will pass the 18" test and don't intend to give your viewers microscopes.

The hardest part will be working up a reasonable floor plan, especially for the non-public spaces (offices and crew dormitories on the upper floor.)
