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 :
E-mail to Osborn Model Kits and reply I sent off an e-mail to Osborn Model Kits: I just received a reply: It is possible to order overseas!:thumbs_up:
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.
thanks for your offer ! been in banff many times and should have plenty of pictures. also there's a good chance i'll visit banff during my holidys in bc (august 14- sept 03 2009).
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.
i plan to see grant and mike. date is not yet fixed. it depends if mike is able to organize a cabride from calgary to banff or even fields.
