THIS BOOK shows you how to build realistic model railroad stations...stations that will enhance the appearance and increase the plausibility of your model railroad. Just as real stations were the places where railroads met their patrons-both travelers and shippers-and made lasting impressions as members of the community, model stations will be focal points of your layout and will set the standard for the entire pike. Model stations are also essential because they provide the needed illusion of "here and there.- Stations may be scant feet apart on a model pike, yet the trains are able to stop and do work at each one--they help to expand the layout geographically.
Yes, next to rolling stock, stations probably offer the most exciting, important, and rewarding construction projects you can undertake for your model railroad.
