Walmart ceramic, purchased some 20-25 years ago. There was a time when their stuff was the equal of Dept. 56 IMHO, but I don't think that's the case anymore. The graphics and finish aren't as nice now. This station is remarkably similar to Dept. 56's Grand Central (but not an exact copy).

The two platforms are Dept. 56 Heritage Village. They were made to accompany the Dept. 56 Victoria Station. They are very nice.

We hadn't had the ceramic stuff out for a number of years, but decided to bust it out this year after finding a decent department store piece at Walmart that looked sharp. We have jettisoned most of it over the last few years, but we still have 10-12 pieces. Always looks good under the tree.

Now, what is the train you pictured? Can't see the loco, but those coaches look very sharp. Nice graphics!

Meanwhile, back at the station:

Here are the two Unique Art passenger cars that they produced in their short tenor in the train world. The City of Joplin and Garden City. They are part of the set with the 742 clockwork and tender. It also came with a caboose but I don’t care to run it that way.
