I just ordered these for use around a station. They look pretty good. I don't have them yet to say for sure.

Thanks,

Those are nice.  It says "laser cut" so I think they are in kit form.  "Ships in 5 - 7 days"?  When did you order them?

John here are some of the Dept 56 benches I am using on my Prewar Standard & O gauge table. I bought on the secondary market but have seen them on Amazon when I was looking. They are 2x2x2.25 inches. Hope this helps.

Another option is Barclays metal benches, depending on the look your going for.

Thanks Rich,

I actually saw those on Amazon, but thought maybe they were too large for my 027 setup.  But maybe they would work.  They look nice.

Barclays?  Google turns up full size real benches and "Barclays models" doesn't produce any results.

What is their actual business name?

The website says they are HO.  Maybe they would work.

Oops .... sorry about that.

Thanks again.  Those are nice as well.  I am leaning toward the laser cut kits or those slightly large wooden look benches you posted Rich.  I really appreciate all the suggestions.

Acrylic benches.  Really different.  Thanks

John

Actually, they are some sort of wood composite. I got some a while ago when I purchased one of @Todds Architectural Models shadow boxes... they’re pretty neat (I just hit mine with a bit of stain).

John;

I just looked and I found I have a couple extra bench kits that Doug sent me. Unlike the picture Joe posted, these need to be cut from a card (easy with an x-acto blade). If you’re interested, email me your address, and I’ll gladly sent some to you to try out.

Thanks Paul.  That's really nice of you.  Those look great.

Thanks guys!😚

such a timely thread regarding the benching.

My plan was to begin construction on Styrene benchwork for the ground floor of the Rail King passenger Depot.  I added a second floor and
I ordered from Plastruct some furniture for the second story. It will visible from the outside now…
