    i'm looking for a nice railway station kit as they used to be common along cp rail lines.

    jr models used to sell a kit. but somehow i am not skilled enough (=too stupid) to put it together.

    any other kits out there ? it should look a bit like the station in banff. maybe features one of the witch hats. laser-cut, easy-to-assemble prefered.



    hints and links will be appreciated.

    I might just need a "helpful Canadian Trainboard member"!:tb-biggrin:
    There was something not clear to me in their Ordering Policies so I sent off an e-mail to them with a few questions.
    I'll post the response when I receive it with my questions.

    ...you have to ask Brian Fons, he did build a similar one once, maybe he will build a 2nd one ;) (train4fun could post a picture...?)

    Yes Brian did the Gorham station , it have a similar looks to the station you want but the end of the building looks to be square instead of round following the curve of the roof .
    Here is some pictures ( not on par with what others present here ) of the model that Brian did and some of the prototype I found :

    Here are some of the real Gorham station I found on the internet some years ago :

    Sandro, do you need pics of Banff as that is not close. Banff has stone work and is larger. I am going there Wednesday again and could shoot it for you.

    let me know if you are going to SAR again, I will try to make it. Away in Bahamas until Aug 23 and going to San diego for Labour day weekend ( rough life owning a dive travel compnay) but should be around during the rest. Let me know if you are going to Golden as I will schedule a staff review out there.
