My train station

I 've discovered a really nice almost S scale station.

What I really like is that it is litho/tinplate with plastic roof details. It's the: "Hallmark QHT3501 Oceanside Depot. This is part of the Hallmark Great American Railways Depot Collection. It measures 6 inches tall x 10 1/2 inches long x 5 1/2 inches wide. It is designed for display with the Hallmark 1:76 scale replica Lionel engines from the late 1990s." (As described on Tranz website)

At 1:76 in a pre assembled building, It's not O, not HO, but close enough to 1:60 to look really good.

I love the fact that it is "tinplate". For me it creates the feel of the Gilbert American Flyer golden era. I plan to put frosted windows and illumination in it. (Maybe I'll try a new topic on how I do it...it may be a while before I tackle it)

These are the only 2 pics I have from Christmas I'll post some shots of the basic station tomorrow or so.

Any body else discover this gem?
