Train Station For Just About Everywhere
« on: August 12, 2014, 09:38:22 AM »
I wasn't sure where to post my train station as I plan to use it in both Pulp and Back of Beyond games and I also need to build up some cred with the railroad folks. But I figured it would mostly service my Pulp minis - so here it is. It is one of the great Plasticville buildings I first learned from Grimm's Pulp site.  Sorry for the normal crappy pictures (I gotta get a new camera!).  It really looks better than these pics appear - I swear  lol


Here is the Prof waiting on a train (Cue the music "I'm not waiting on a lady, I'm just waiting on a friend")

And a more "Hollywood" shot

Comments and critique always welcome.

Really cool building! Excellent as a main objective for a scenario.

Very nice. I like. Doesn't look like plasticville anymore.

Thanks for the nice comments folks.  I will be expanding on this theme.  A coal bunker is in the works and perhaps a water tower. Tufoo, I do have a little  track but not enough.  It came with a $10 train I picked up at a toy store sale. They have it back again but now it is $39.  If it goes below $20 I may buy another for the cars and track but I am going to consult with some of the rail experts here first.

Really nice work: I am going to have to give that line a closer look!

By the way: where is that explorer from? I can't seem to place him.

I finished up a coal bin for my railroad station.

Here it is in conjunction with my station.

And a closer view.

or....if you make a dock the same height at the platform, it could be a harbormaster/boating house/wharf kind of thing.
