Reply to "IVES 116 Station"

OGRNORMAN:

I'm Not intending to hijack this thread......just intend to give an example of "modern day" technology. Here is a recent (10 yrs. or so ago), S gauge "tinplate, lithograph" station produced by Hallmark.

Made in China.

The metal work more intricate than an Ives. Station, and the added plastic roof peak trim really enhancing the overall appearance. Original retail was around $35. Current secondary market $10 to $30.

IF a person could get a clean, ..to scale, ..photo copy of the exterior sidewalls and overall roof patterns, you could probably "create" your own 116 by printing on heavy cardstock or even vinyl and affixing the "photo" copy to sheet metal stock. A few metal cuts and appropriate bends, and you would have a "new" 116.

Someone here on THIS forum has already done something similar with a (Marklin?) Station.
