"Train station for the Far East" Topic

I've wanted to add a small train station for my Second World War games set in the Far East in places like Burma and Malaya. I've used a basic MDF model intended for the Middle East but with a bit of modification there's no reason why it can't work in a number of locations from North Africa through to China.

There's a blog post following that build and a few other railway terrain pieces that you can find here Train Station for the Far East

Looks like the El Alamein station.

Nice work.

Actually, the train station in Kanchanaburi, Thailand, looked something like that when I was there in 2008.

I'm sure it is that model. I am using it jn 1/72 for an administration office in my South African campaigns/battles etc.

This is the 1/72 (20mm). Rather than calling it the El Alamein station it's probably more appropriate to say the El Alamein station looks like one of these. I'd suggest the railway companies had a few ‘standard' designs for small stations in tropical/hot locations that were rolled out across the world (see the photo of the station in Malaya in the blog post, it's remarkably similar).

Really nice cleanup of an MDF kit. Textured walls and pantile roof really fix it.

Of course your reference photo is completely different: wood siding with wood shingle roof, and square doorways not arched. But you knew that. And you've made a great model for wargames purposes.
