Hello, I am looking for a passenger station like you would see at Amtrak. Looking for the train to fully or partially enter the building or have it so there is a roof covering the train. Any suggestions? Thank you

Honestly, in all my years I've never come across what you're looking for. There are a few European stations that come close, however, the cost is staggering. You might try, Bridge Boss (you can Google it). He has beautiful coverings for ideas.
God Bless,

The defacto standard is the one offered by twtrainworx...FYI Amtrak runs out of Union Station
The Liberty Hi-Railers built something similar to what you are looking for. It is 3 MTH Banks kitbashed and set over track. Sorry for some of the blurry pics. I have a dumb phone.

Take a Lionel 115 or 116 and put it on a platform over the tracks and you are ready to go.

YOU DO NOT HAVE AN E-MAIL IN YOUR PROFILE. IF YOU NEED THE 116 STATIONS AS A MEMBER SUGGESTED I DO HAVE 2 NEW ONES MTH RED AND CREAM, AND I ALSO HAVE A CUSTOM STATION THAT A PERSON NAMED BRIAN FISHER DID, HE WAS AT YORK FOR YEARS, AND I HAVE ONE HE DID. HE DID SOME REALLY NICE WORK. WOULD HAVE TO GET IT OUT AS I HAVEN'T OPENED IT UP SINCE I RECIEVED IT FROM HIM. IF INTERESTED PLEASE CALL.
THANKS

I might have a station in what you're looking for. My cherished friend Alex M. built me a Pennsylvania station from 5 MTH banks. You can e-mail me at bjsdbk4@comcast.net. I'll send you pictures if you're interested. Barry

Just a little correction: our modular group is Stillmeadow Crossing.
As stated, the building is kitbashed MTH banks. The platform is 1/4" MDF, sidewalks are 1/8" MDF scored with a razor saw, arches were cut from 1x6 pine, railing is 1/8" and 1/4" basswood, and the roadway is from Scenic Express.

Perhaps you can be more specific in what you want for a station. Amtrak has all kinds: the colossus type typified by Wash., D.C.'s Union Station to very small, single platform stations, e.g. Newport News, VA. that have little more than a shed for a station building.

Bob, beautiful workmanship; wish I could see it in person. Ron045, thanks for the picture.

Sorry Bob.
I took these pics in Harrisburg at the mall. I could not remember your club name so I started Googling. I found this web site which barely has pics of what looks like the same station. Look to the right. I guess this is a popular idea.
