This is certainly a great thread, Brian!

Love all the station pics!

SIRT

Thanks

Rico Station • Lionel Kit

My Cresent Locomotive works one

Some really fantastic scratch=built stations on here....mine are all kit-built or bashed,

and, except for color, generally have no architectural relationship to each other...

which is something I'd like to change but means a lot of scratch building.

Beautiful job with this station. I like the yellow Warbonnets to compliment it as well.

Just a bare bones start with a Station that hopefully will be equipped and peopled someday soon. Custom single story Depot by Central Loco Works to fit the 084 curve. Replaced a two story MTH unit that had its sheds cut to roughly fit the curves.

MY space-eating Trailways Bus Station with platforms will be located well back behind it. 

thank you I waited about 3 months for the station but it was worth it. the yellow bonnet I was lucky enough to find one for sale a few months ago it was a New A-B-A set from Williams I also found another B unit so I picked it up also. so it is a A-B-B-A the passenger cars I have for it are the 027 streamlined Santa Fe single strip car's I have the 3 car set plus an extra passenger car and the vista dome. for a total of 5 cars. so it makes for a decent train. I upgraded the powered A unit to have a err board. but the engine seems to be a little down on power so I have been thinking of doing the dummy upgrade to a powered unit and also do another err in it.

I have to say the yellow bonnets are my favorite. I have a railking f3 yellow also that I have been upgrading the decals on it there was none. and for that one I have 3 Santa Fe streamliner cars for it.  I would love to do the 3rd rail ones but I think I might be single if I did that

The brick is a rubberized mat made by Lemax and available in many stores during the Christmas season.

That would also make for a nice floor for the station interior.

My beautiful Texas Santa Fe station will be going into storage.  The area where the station was is the location for my new Army RR yard (circa 1040's).  I will be replacing the Temple, TX station with another custom built station modeled after an Army base station located at Jefferson Barracks near St. Louis, Missouri.  I will have this station on my main line and a smaller freight station in the adjoining yard.  My new Army base will be named after my childhood hero........Camp Crockett. 

Here is a photo of the Jefferson Barracks station circa 1940's.

Here's my whistling tinplate Marx Girard station

A little homemade fake tinplate (cardstock) depot

A modified OGR depot kit

A modified Lionel Rico station kit

That is a great photo and scene.  I love the Aerotrain and run mine a lot.

My Illinois Central station...unfortunately the Miller sign quit working on the "Central" part ...but I need to email them and see if I can get another.

This station in all it's glory will be featured in our club's layout at the 40th Anniversary of the Great New York State Model Train Fair.

Don't know how I missed this thread originally. Great photos.

Guess I missed this thread the first go around....

Alan, that is one of the most magnificent train station complexes in our O-Gauge hobby. This thread would not be complete without these photos.

Having seen it first hand, any photos cannot do it justice. This layout is worth the trip so at some point, Alan & Lakeeta should be on your must see list.

Alan, I must agree with Brian, your station and shed is outstanding.

Once again Jon...thank you so much for your kind compliments!

Alan

Not up to your standards but a little toy station with, bell, whistle & track sounds

Spent last week painting it trying to make it less plastic & toy like.

James

Thanks Gary....lots of beautiful stations in this thread...great thread!!

Here's Wyandotte, MI on my layout.

Back in the 1980's, when we lived in PA, my late father-in-law built me this station, with run-through tracks.  Here's how it looked at the time.

It is still in service here in MD, with some of the same trains.

This photo is worthy of magazine quality. Nice job.

A small depot in a small town.

Keith, that is a very beautiful station.

Keith, I agree with Brian. You station is beautiful. Wonderful details. Do you have additional views?

My stations;

Flag stops, both Grandt Line kits:

Scratchbuilt Depot at the end of the line, you can even read the train order board with a magnifying glass:

Thank you, Passenger Train Collector, for your nice comment: "This photo is worthy of magazine quality. Nice job."

These two photos actually did make it into a magazine: THE LION ROARS, Vol. 16, No. 6, April 1987.   LOL

I can't keep up with you guys have to stick with the basic passenger station.  

This is colossal work, Steve.

Beautiful work, Steve.

Just another type of passenger station...

Night shot of the station area on my new(since 2011) layout.

There is still tons more to do....
