Sorry to be a bore, but....
I saw someone had built and painted a train station for a game on this forum, and I think it was the sarrussa precision wild west one...
Well I've got one and I was interested in seeing how this person had approached it interms of painting internally and externally. Its a super model and i don't want to wreck it with a ham fisted approach.
This would be used for both RCW/BoB and AVBCW.
A quick search has not shown me what my brain cell remembers...hints please...
Thanks
Giles

Find a link to the station you have to give a visual representation to the good folks here and not only may the original poster see it but others giving a colour scheme too, including myself. Hope this helps :)

Check Heisler's posts, as I seem to recall him making one.

This one.
(Its part assembled, there are more supports for the left hand roof)

A very nice looking model indeed, looks like a very fun kit to put together too. :)
Is this the one you saw? http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=51389.0

I glued the roof onto the walls because I found the interior to tiny/narrow to use in a game. The roofing itself was bought at warbases.co.uk

Assembly tip: file a bit of wood from the inserts that go into the platform, they can be a very thight fit (I hope you understand what i mean :D)

Thanks gents, that is indeed the one.
Lots of ideas.
I will probably go for the colour scheme in the first example, as this is doubling for both RCW and AVBCW (Great Western Trains) so a cream and brown colour scheme is appropriate.
:)

Glad to have been of assistance, look forward to seeing your finished model too :-)
-
That is a tempting little building, I look forward to your process. Hope you put up a station sign, I think that would finish it off nicely.
Cheers

Very nice, very nice... My boys (and girl) are eagerly awaiting to hit the town again! >:)

Sweet.

Great job on the station, I am very tempted but it could get expensive, first the station but then I would have to get tracks to run through it and then what's the point of a station without a train so could end up spending well over than £100 on it.

A Realist!!
Pfffft..
I thought they were proscribed?
If not, then somebody needs to look into WHY NOT.
Unchecked, this could rend the entire fabric of our society.

Look in shops before Xmas it comes as a Xmas train, under different names, everywhere in the world.

I bought the train in a shop called "de Action". it's a sort of dollar store. You have the most chance around Christmas time
