domino Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Hey all Im planning to expand my exhibition layout with an small private Railroad line, theme is old Japanese steam and houses , so im looking for a old small train station but can`t find one , I don't like the Kato 23-220 or 23-221 don't think they are rustic enough. Any ideas are welcome. Brian Link to comment

Martijn Meerts Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Tomytec has some lovely small stations, but don't discard Sankei purely because it's paper/cardboard. I'm not a big fan of paper kits myself, but the Sankei ones look great and are built in such a way that makes them very sturdy as well. In fact, the little house I've built as a test is pretty much as sturdy as a plastic kit, but weighs a lot less (great for exhibitions layouts :)) and looks much better as well (apart from the bits where I messed up and ruined the thing, but well ... ;)) Link to comment
