Reply to "Identify Manufacturer of This Train Station?"

John KnappOGR Forum Member

Amfleet25124- Kevin is correct. This is an O scale MTH station. It came in two different color combinations and Amfleet25124 is showing the two model numbers. As ADCX Rob remembers, there was some litigation between MTH and another manufacturer (Woodland Scenics?) who already had an HO model on the market that looked exactly the same. I believe the HO manufacturer called theirs the "Danbury Station."

I have the color combination shown by Kevin. There are lots of details making it a very realistic model. The only thing I don't like about it is the roof. The roof is very shiny plastic and one day I will have to Dullcote it. In addition, I was always going to replace the plastic flooring with scribed basswood sheathing from Micro Mark.

The fact that there was litigation may be why there aren't too many examples out there.
