Building a Model Railway Station
Adding a railway station can make a model train layout look very realistic. Use the steps below to build your own railway station from scratch.
- Cut the platform top from a wooden sheet. The length must be greater than the longest train and the width must be less than the distance between adjacent tracks.
- Cut the sides, and glue the top on it. Also create ramps for the platform.
- Paint the platform gray, giving it a textured look.
- Make the station building out of cardboard sheets, or buy a kit set model.
- Design the building by referring to real station structures.
- Other features such as ticket offices, restaurants and benches can also be added.
Obviously, these are just the basics to get you started, and you can certainly add lots of interesting features and details to really bring your model railway station to life.
