Title: Station building/steps enquiry
Post by: Newportnobby on November 12, 2023, 11:06:19 AM
Having convinced a fellow member he likes another of my track designs there is a need for a station building and steps down from road level to platform. He has a penchant for Metcalfe kits so the PN136 (see 3 platform pic) would probably be ideal along with a suitable building up top.
But does anyone out there know of similar such items please?

I don't know of any similar products.
I do remember as a child seeing these types of steps at East Croydon station. They were leading up from the platform and at the top there was a corridor behind the station building which had similar cladding all along the corridor. i think it was part of the footbridge. This would have been around 1970.

My old home town, Wolverton, had the 'proper' stuff :D
3 platforms - 3 sets of stairs
