N-Gauge train display base.

Some backstory; All the model train stuff was my Grandfather's and was inherited by my Father. Unused for many years, one day we could not find it and believed it stolen.
Then, while looking for something else, I stumbled across it all.

I kept it quiet and built this display base for one of the trains. And then surprised my Father with it and a pile of boxes of N-gauge stuff.

End-on views of the N-gauge train display base.

I did expect to have to re-paint the train, but didn't need to touch it.

The only kit parts are the big red reel, the track, the figure, fence, bench and the roof of the shelter.

Around the back of the N-gauge train display base.

The platform is a piece of plasticard and the brick pillars are plastic sprue, carved square with some lines scratched in.

Inspired by a small town platform I have passed many times.
