HO Scale Model Train Stations

Hasil gambar untuk model train for beginner Used to be, on a long run in a prairie state, you could tell from far away when you were coming into a station. That bright flash in the distance signaled what might be the only green grass in dry summer heat. No matter how much watering it took, stationmasters across the US prided themselves in putting out the town's welcome mat - the lawn in front of the train station.

Once your trains are running, they need a place to stop, and that means choosing a station. Model stations are as varied as the places that had them. Many manufacturers do serious research to provide their stations with detail specific to historical stations, both rural and urban. You can choose one with a waiting room set aside for lady passengers. Add outbuildings, loading docks, warehouses and stockyards. Don't forget a water-tower (also historically accurate) if you're running steam engines or passenger trains. And, just for the memories, be sure to put out a patch of nice green lawn in front of the station!
