Hornby R8001 00 Gauge Waiting Room

Correct

Really good model worth the money. Bought as a present for model railway enthusiast. Not happy thought Amazon would have been more careful and with this time of year maybe it was going to be given as a gift, They stuck the delivery label on the very back of the box had a hard time removing it.

Fits in well

I had previously purchased a card church for a layout, but I looked to the Hornby range of buildings (on Amazon) on the assumption that they would be textured plastic and ordered two items, Booking Office and Waiting Room. Going from the images they looked very nice and would be just the job, with the intention to add more buildings later. I wasn’t expecting painted items, I assumed the box-art to be ‘what they could look like depending on the skill of the modeller’. I couldn’t see in the description of the items that it mentioned sticky-back plastic sheets so I have to admit to being somewhat disappointed to find that the building are smooth plastic and the lovely stone and roof tile texture was in-fact sticky-back plastic sheet, which in terms of quality, although they look nice, the card buildings are just as good and cheaper (on the Hornby website they appear to sell resin buildings, although these two were not shown). As I am a modeller by hobby, adding embossed plastic stonework won’t be too big a deal, nor will the minor assembly of parts, but for those who, like me assumed that we would receive nice textured plastic buildings stand by to be disappointed. p.s. Image is of both station items that I purchased.

Plan how to use the pieces and you will end up with a fantastic model.
