Question: Old West Train platform and building under construction

[thebinmann]

Hi

I'm thinking about what to use to make one of these, I don't want a whole station, more something like the old west films (3.10 Yuma springs to mind).

I was thinking about Ainsty's wooden jetty. But I'm sure your guys have better ideas!

Plus they might not be high enough!

And has anypne got one of the buildings under construction on the market? If so what are they like?

Sarissa do 1.  Its based on old west stations.  In many old films the passengers step up onto the train carriage.

Its normal, at least in the US, for passengers to step up into the car. Passenger cars have two steps built into them but it still makes a very big step up or down from there. Stools are often provided for women to use. One side of the platform will, often, be raised higher with a ramp to make it easier to load baggage (or freight if its a combination passenger/freight station). The raised portion should be high enough to be even with the baggage or freight car doors. I can't give you an exact height since I don't know what you are using for a train.

They are perfect, can I get the kit for the building anywhere?
