I am going to be modeling part of of Palmer, Ma & was wondering if anyone knew if there was a model of the station in Palmer out there? I may have found the Walthers one would work…
thanks
Mike
I was going to model the old B&A and some B&M lines also, but decided to go generic because I wanted more exciting scenery, more mountains with tunnles and bridges etc. I looked for a Palmer station to no avail, but there still could be one out there, we just haven’t found it yet. The next time I go to Tucker’s Trains in Warren, Ma, I’ll ask Bob Buck, if anyone knows, this man will.
the one station that Walthers makes, think is a new one, just about looks like it… maybe I will email Turcker’s Trains
For starters, it’s www.tuckershobbies.com
Secondly, isn’t the new Walthers station a brick rectangular building? The Palmer station is granite block and in a triangle.

Yes Paul, it is a granite building not brick, but maybe we could build a granite face to the bricks LOL. Thanks for correction for GFR, I was using shorthand for Tucker’s, bad idea if GFR had never been/heard of Buck’s place. How often do you get up to Warren?
Oh, I get out to Bob’s about every other month or so. More often in the warmer months. Go ahead and ask Bob about me… I’m sure that will be interesting. [:)] Let me put it this way… I detest Penn Central (being a NH fan), and Bob actually likes PC (being a B&A man, after all). They’ve done some things to me that are not nice at all… [:D] Oh, it’s all in fun, but just ask them about the PC book cover they did for me (shudder). Man, those are some bad people out there… [;)]

Tucker’s Hobbies, Tuckers Trains… My brain knew the right one, just my fingers didn’t know …
and if the station is rectangle, that’ll work… if I tried to make everything exact, I will never get trains running or fini***he layout…hahahahah
only time I see Tucker’s hobbies is at Springfield show…
hope to make some more progress tomorrow…
