Bachmann Trains Union Station Review

Bachmann Trains Union Station
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Union Station - A classic big-city station that will fit into a very small space if you need it to (simply by reusing the platform extensions somewhere else). One of these graced my American Flyer layout for many years when I was much younger, so recommending this is probably as much about nostalgia as it is about usefulness. That said, this structure is attractive and inexpensive. If you plan to light it from the inside, you might consider spray-painting it inside and out first, to cut down on the "radioactive"-looking glow of the light coming through the walls. It also gets rid of the plastic "sheen." It's very simple to lay the white pieces out separately, spray them with Wal-Mart's 99-cent gray primer, then with Wal-Mart's 99-cent flat white, then spray the gray pieces with the gray primer, let the whole thing dry an extra day, then snap it together. (If you want to get really elaborate, hit the green parts with a coat of $3 satin [not glossy] Hunter Green.) You'd be surprised how a little extra effort and a couple dollars' worth of paint makes this building fit in with any collectible village or with any O Scale model railroad. - Paul Race, editor, Big Christmas Trains

The quality of this product is below acceptable. It is a low grade plastic and easily broken. The internal light assmbly is low grade.It is worth $3.00 at best. It is nothing like its picture.

Cream w/Railroad Green Trim 12 x 7 x 7-1/4" 30 x 17.5 x 18.1cmO scale Cornerstone Series(R) quality with no assembly neededInstant fun and realism for your railroadMolded in authentic, multiple colorsUse with any railroad, any eraMore time for funWhere mainline meets Main Street, the Combination Depot stands as a symbol of railroad power and technology. From his bay-window office in the center of the building, the agent reigns supreme as he answers the telegraph or loads the US Mail. One the other side is the public waiting room, where dark wood walls, iron benches and colorful travel posters are guarded by a huge coal stove. On the far end stands the freight room, where almost anything that can't be mined, manufactured or grown locally is delivered by the trains.Generations of small-town Americans were served by these combination depots, so called because they "combined" three operations under one roof. By the 1880s, railroads large and small were building new depots like this in smaller towns. Using standard plans which specified the same materials, trim and paint not only saved time and money, it made the railroad and its buildings instantly recognizable in every town.Now you can capture the magic for your own railroad with the all-new Cornerstone Series(R) Built-Up Combination Depot. Patterned after similar buildings still found from coast-to-coast, it looks great in the days of steam, or alongside today's modern diesels. Fully assembled and ready to use on your layout, the Golden Valley Depot is molded in the same colors as the Trackside Built-ups (933-2700 Series) so you can easily create a small town scene on your O Scale railroad.Fully assembled and ready to use on your layout, it includes a nonworking semaphore style train order signal, a brick platform in the traditional "herringbone" pattern, interior walls with molded details, "wooden" interior floor, a baggage cart and decal signs. A working interior light provides ro

Bachmann Trains Water Tower Review

Bachmann Trains Water Tower
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Few structures summon the age of the "iron horse" as much as the water tower, which will also add a vertical dimension to your railroad. This Bachmann model is molded with intricate detail and snaps together easily. That said, if you feel like painting it some other color, you certainly may. If nothing else, I'd probably hit the gray parts with cheap gray primer to take the sheen off.
This product is about 1:48 in scale, which makes it ideal for Lionel O and O27 trains and for Holiday Villages. - Paul Race, editor, Big Christmas Trains

Bachmann Trains Windmill with Farm Machinery Review

Bachmann Trains Windmill with Farm Machinery
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
To us, windmills look "quaint," but for centuries farms used windmills to pump needed water for the livestock and irrigation. For several decades, some farms even used them to provide electricity (my grandpa's farm for one). This windmill will fit almost anywhere, and the haywagon and plows that come with it will provide the kind of "clutter" you see around any working farm's barnyard. The guy on the tractor is too toylike to use without some serious painting, though. Also the jeep is pretty cheesy. But there's no reason not to leave the wheels off the pickup, hit it with rust primer, and leave it in a field somewhere for a little more "local color." - Paul Race, editor, Big Christmast Trains

This building is a nice bit of scenery to add to any track. It has a nice compact design, so once one snaps the pieces together, they will stay that way, without requiring any tape or glue as some other "snap-together" products do.

The finished product looks nice enough, but anyone who wants it to hold any semblance of shape needs to use tape at the very least. Trying to put it together without tape only served to create the urge to set the model on fire so as to give the fire station model a greater role.
