My new layout is going to need a passenger station. I already got a Clarksville Depot and another lil Walthers builtups depot... but their both nice small stations. I need a major station.
Time period is mid 50's, but I'm pretty flex at this point.
any recomendations for a kit?
The Walthers Union Station would be a good fit for your era. Typical of large stations of that time, many still in use today. It's a pretty straightforward kit, and if you've built any of Walthers/Heljan kits, it's of the same quality and same construction difficulty level as the others. This is a pretty massive structure. I know, I built it and had to squeeze it into a smaller space than I would have liked. Also, be prepared to detail the waiting room as it has lots of big windows and you can see through it.

I'm thinking Union Station would be the best fit.
There is a Kibri kit I saw that I liked... it's a glass awning over two tracks with platforms on the outside... so it could service four trains. I think I'll order that for my station platforms and put the union station up as my main building.
I just gotta find build a footprint template so that I can modify my layout accordingly.
