I seldom run trains at home so these guys have been waiting a while.

He looks bored.

My small contribution to this topic...my homemade version of the Lionel station...it's scaled down to more of a Marx  size...it's all mostly cardboard, paper and other repurposed bits and pieces...

Howard...

Outstanding, Howard, a really nice scratch version.

Here, the Parlor Flats depot construction project continues:

Working on a station signal now, and possibly a train-orders stand. We're trying to build this tinplate-style, so not many detail bits.

A fair number of travelers waiting to board the "Chief!"

                                                 Gee, The Traffic Is Terrific!

Wow, sawdust43 your model of the Lionel 115 station is AMAZING!  Wonderful craftsmanship and ability to capture the details.  Great work.  pd your work on the "parlor flats" depot is also really neat.  I am afraid I am rather "ham handed" when it comes to this sort of modeling.  Great work to you both.

Here are some scenes from my layout.  Here are the commuters waiting for their train to the City.  Just a humble Plasticville station platform that I have used along with the prewar Lionel Suburban station #127 from 1923-36.

Here is the suburban station in its location in "Small Town", the town center of which is located just outside of the Savannah, Ga wharf's and port.

The main station, is the Lionel #115 Depot with extra platforms also from Lionel.  It sits inside the Savannah City Center (in my imagination) and hosts many trains a day to the North and South.  It also sees the passing of numerous freight trains to and from the busy port. Below is a Konrad Dressler locomotive made in the early 50's in "The U.S. zone" , Germany (and so marked).  The cars are Mettoy made in the UK also in the 50's , except for the blue jaguar payload which is mine and just happened to be a convenient size.

I know I am a day late...its Sunday, but I just discovered this thread and very much enjoyed everyone's pictures.

Best Regards

Waiting for the Bellerose Trolley at this elevated Trolley station and for the subway to show up.

Passengers awaiting arrival anxiously.

One real old picture and one not so old.  Maybe someday will finish the scene lmao...

Patsburg Commuter Rail Station.

A rainy evening in LA -

Sorry - It's HO.

Patsburg's Union Station serves B&O, Pennsy, N&W, Reading Co.,  and Western Maryland.

B&O passenger train is stopped at the station.

Passengers wait for the next train.

A freight train rumbles by the station.   A cab full of passengers arrives at the station. It will also depart the station with passengers bound for downtown Patsburg.

A fair amount of activity for a Friday night...

The French participation.... with Lionel trains of course....

Well here are some of the stations on the Leonardtown and Savannah...

The workers on the wharf area, begin to board public transportation to take them to the central depot for the train ride home.

Maintenance at the freight station takes some time for some quick and needed repairs to the "necessary" in the back yard.

Best wishes everyone for a good weekend.

I named this station Fulluda because (a) the building on the wall is a composite photo of the real 1930 Santa Fe/Amtrak station in nearby Fullerton, CA, and (b) its fifteen foot approach spur has both a 90 degree left turn and a 5% grade like the real Saluda RR hill in North Carolina. I stood on that track in 2002.

Here’s mine.,

Last train in for the night...

The French JEP "Golden Arrow" with JEP stations. 1947-48 period

One from the archives...a local approaches a station on Christmas Eve, 1936, after a freak snowfall on the basement layout:

We rarely see snow on the layout, but the Hagerstown Almanac says we might see a bit more of it this winter.

PD

A different type of station.

Test run of the newly-delivered PCC on the PE, so new that it has not gone through the final assembly and paint shop:

Steve

Waiting for the 5:18 to Scarsdale.

Hi Paul,

Will you be publishing a Line Drawing of your Parlor Flats Depot ?

I could use such a design for my Trains as well.

Norman

Hi Scott,

Who manufactured the PARADISE Station that is displayed on your layout ?

Norman

Here's another one ...a bit late

Norman,

Flip me an email (mine is in my profile). I'll send you what I have.

Here's where we ended up with Parlor Flats (renamed Pembroke in honor of an acquaintance that passed recently):

Just need to ballast the base. Homemade tinplate-style semaphore added to finish it.
