Caiden Town Station
Finished a fun project I have been working on for the last few weeks. A customized Train Station. I really like this type of station better than the typical Thomas ones (Ffarquhar, Tidmouth, Wellsworth, Maithewaite) as it is two sided and a bit more scaled to the Plakids. I am only aware of two of these released with each its own color scheme. One was released with the seldom seen Stanley playset (see last 2 pictures) and the other was released by itself with signage in Japanese.
This custom Amtrak stop is named Caiden Town Station. As at most small towns in rural USA the town is served by a water tower with the towns logo on it. The tower also has a blinking red light on top to warn off those low flying crop dusters. Onto the station...Those looking to purchase tickets are always greeted with a smile from the ticket agent and those requiring help on the platform will gladly be assisted by an Amtrak Attendant. As with a lot of businesses in this world wide economy, low profiting amenities are leased out to third party's. In this case the Amtrak Cafe was taken over by the Silver Star Diner who have the best coffee in town. Also with all train stations, the platforms have couples saying their goodbys or welcoming loved ones with a hug. And of course the station is open 24 hours so there must be lighting on the inside and out.
I really enjoyed taking my time working on this but I have a big problem...I really don't have any where to place the station on the layout.
