No matter how big or small your layout is, they are an important part of every layout. From my very first layout some 77 years ago, a train station has been there. There are so many good choices, including the new MTH Train Station, you can't go wrong. Please take a moment and post a photo of your train station. |

All but one of them is 3D printed. This was my first station and the first building that I printed. It's a little rough but I still like it. It serves as a trolley station. Whitney Station is a platform station that fills in a corner that I didnt know what to do with. Odd place for a station, but I'm OK with that. This platform station is located in the new Marthas Square expansion area. Another 3D Printed station. This is the station that I am most proud of. It is loosely based on a train station that existed in my town, Harvard, MA, in the 1800s. It is also one of the nicest 3D printed buildings I have ever done. Lionel platform on the main trolley line on the upper level. |

Anything I've looked at is really too big for my purposes although I do have a couple that I've got notwithstanding that. |

Yes, impossible to beat Grand Central, although it and anything like it is far too big for my purposes. A long while back I looked at TW Trainworx's Union Stations (Denver and Chicago) but they were really too big as well despite being scaled down models. The Denver station was better but it seems that they are not making it any more. What they still stock includes this very nice SP station but even it's too big: But in my book their classic, which I think someone else on the OGF has and has posted about, is this huge Albuquerque station: |
