NEW Woodland Scenics O-Scale Building Announced!

Wow!  Another must have Woodlands Scenics building.  Between Woodland Scenics and Menards, I am totally running out of space on the layout.  But that will not stop me from ordering this structure!

 

Remembering 40 years ago when I got back into the hobby and there were almost NO buildings to be had, these are certainly the glory days to be involved in O gauge or O scale!

 

Thanks for the heads up,

Don

Super building!  Thank you for passing on the announcement.

NICE! If I didn't have a good scratchbuilt depot already, I'd have to get one of those. I love the look of it.

Very cool station..........

Now Woodland.......that HO scale bank you have...........

Very nice.  I would like to see it with track and a car next to it. I hope it's the appropriate height

What are the dimensions? I don't see any listed in ad.

Nice looking station.

Y-A-W-N! Yeah... That's what we need in o gauge, another station.

It look very nice to me. Very stylized and railroady. It looks like the Gorre and Daphid station.

For $124.99, a real value!!!

It says, footprint dimensions in photo but I could not find them. Yes, the height with some track would be important to know. Really looks good though. May have to make it work.

That is very nice.

Wow!  That is a very cool station.  I will have to find a place for it and it shouldn't be too hard based on the apparent size.

Very nice,but dated.Looks like the 1930's.Thier other buildings work well into present day.Depending on your time frame and placement.A 1950 style bank and church would be a great addition.

Would make a great looking theme park station!!!!

Looks very Disney-ish!  Not a bad thing....but yes....not for a gritty mid 1950's era layout. (unless it's the Disneyland and Santa Fe)

Yeah, I see what you mean after going back and looking again. But if you yanked the light pole, semaphore and bulletin board, it'd look a lot more like a 'real' depot, much in the way that I removed more from Ethyl's gas station than I kept as I needed to remove a lot of postwar stuff from it.

That fabulous whistle stop station makes Old Scrapiron want to dig in and start building.

When I opened this thread, my first impression upon seeing it was of the train depot in the film White Christmas. Bing Crosby and company arrive in Vermont expecting snow but all is green.  Nice building.  Now I wish they would start making largish city buildings.

My first gut reaction upon seeing the thumbnail is that it looked like a Halloween Lemax or Dept 56 building.  I do wonder if it's a bit too old for the time period of most people's layouts.

 

That said, I can also see this as being a great ice cream or concession stand, perhaps next to a lake.  Set up some tables under the covered outdoor area and it would really look great.  The fact that it's raised up makes it perfect for any use next to a lake or ocean.  Boat rentals, bait shop, etc.

 

This seems early for them to announce a release.  In the past I feel like it has been closer to the fall.  Looking forward to seeing more pictures of this to see if I am interested.

Tow dog,

Yes, this does look like a turn of the last century building.  I like modeling late steam era, and can envision it as a backwoods station that was never upgraded.  I think I could 'modernize' it by 50 years by replacing the gooseneck lamp, removing the semaphore, and the fancy bracing on the dock.

 

Your idea of some other business 'reusing' the station for more modern times is a good idea.  Also used at an amusement park would work.

Yes please! I just love all of their buildings. Keep 'em coming!

Looks like another great building.

It is a nice building, no doubt, and will certainly have detail and all like the other WS built ups.

 

But I will probably pass.  It looks mighty small.  

 

They usually announced buildings in groups of three.  Here's hoping the other two are bigger.

Perfect for my era and layout size.  Most of the stuff on the market is too new or too big for me.  WS knows what they're doing here:  not everybody has a big layout in the transition era, and the rest of us need structures, etc., too, ya know?

 

I'll tell ya who else will look hard at these:  the On30 folks.

Ask and ye shall receive I guess. Not sure I have space on my railroad for this one, but I'm happy WS announced something new. 

I hope WS responds to this thread.  First question is for them to please take a photo with track, cars and engines next to it. Including fast track. I want to know if the height will be right. Also any chance a modern station would be in the works?

I should see a sample at the Vegas show in two weeks

 

Nice.  Something for those that model a somewhat earlier era or branchline operation.

 

Don;t have the room for much of anything on my layout now,

It looks like a very nice, highly detailed small station for a small town area. Depending on the price I will consider it.

Nassau Hobby Pre-Order Price is $124.99. MSRP is $169.99 for the O Scale Version.

Marsha sent me a note that the footprint would be 6 1/2" X 11 3/4". I've got the room for it.

Wow, that is a great little station.  I may pick one up for my layout expansion.

Welllll.....  When I saw this announcement, I sez m'self...'Self!  They finally announced the third item for 2014!!'  After all, by my count and our store shelves, I have a total of 11 different O built-ups for the 4 year run.  That's three each of the first 3 years, but only two last year.

 

??????????

 

Soooo......  What I'm yet hoping for is a full set of three...1-2-3...for 2015...announced in their typical time frame of late summer to early fall of this year.

 

Hey!  I said "hope for".  Y'know....dream big!??

 

Re the comments it's 'another station' or 'too small'....   How many stations does a train typically pass?  Aren't most O3R basement layouts on the 'small' size...compared to, say, HO...or N??...for which a smaller station would be appropriate? (I mean, for all the ballyhoo we've gone through for the release of Grand Central Stations....in the megabuck range, too....how did that cater to the needs of the majority of O3R/O2R home operators??)  And, looking at the plethora of details/architectural features of this new station-on-the-block....I gladly could find a front-and-center location for viewing of this cutie-pie on my layout!!  And I can't wait to see how they've applied their LED lighting to show it off n the 'nightime'!!!

 

We have a winner!!!!  Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding!!!!!

 

Meanwhile, back a the ranch....

P.S....Looking at this station I'm even MORE pumped for Lionel Corporation Tinplate to make a reproduction of....(drum roll, please!)...THE TOONERVILLE TROLLEY!!!
