	Train station scratch build. This is the station that I wish to replicate in N Gauge (1:148 scale). The last time this operated as a train station was in 1933. Today, this is a restaurant. I was given a scale drawing of the 1:1 old train station in Rabat, Malta. All I needed to do is print it onto an A4 sheet, cut out the walls, glue them onto some styrene, and start shaping it. Here you can see the 4 walls glued together. I should have cut out the doors and windows before glueing them but.... still learning.. So, I did it the hard way. I slipped in a solid piece of wood to fit the inside of the station. I cut some holes in the windows and doors and started filing away until I reached their outline. The glued printout came off in pieces as I worked.  That done, I sanded it down for a better finish, and glued the different layers for the 3D effect I was looking for and as shown on the original building. Then I moved to the windows sills. The windows on the left are different to the windows on the right, as you can also see on the original building. Tomorrow I will continue with the windows and door surrounds for more 3D effect...   Stay tuned and don't forget to register for post updates... Check out the live CCTV camera HERE
