FAQs
What scale is this kit intended for?
This kit is specifically designed for N scale (1:160) model railway layouts.
Does the kit come with glue?
No, plastic glue is required for assembly but is not included in the packaging.
Can I connect multiple kits together?
Yes, the kits are designed so that several can be built and joined in a row to extend the length of your station area.
Are the platforms pre-painted?
The parts come in three distinct colors as intended by the manufacturer, but they are not professionally painted or weathered.
Are there small parts that represent a choking hazard?

Troubleshooting
Parts are not fitting together flush
Check that all sprue attachments have been cleanly trimmed from the edges of the parts.
Plastic glue is softening the detail
Use a finer applicator tip for your glue and apply only a minimal amount to the mating surfaces.
Platforms appear uneven on the layout
Verify the track bed underneath the platform is perfectly level and clear of debris or ballast unevenness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Assembly is straightforward but requires patience. First, separate the 38 components from the sprues using a sharp hobby knife or sprue cutter to avoid damaging the plastic. Use high-quality plastic cement to bond the parts, ensuring you apply glue sparingly to avoid marring the finish. Because this is for N scale, ensure your layout is leveled before installing the platforms to prevent gaps between sections. For maintenance, keep the platforms away from direct sunlight for extended periods to prevent plastic warping or fading. If dust accumulates, use a soft-bristled brush to gently clean the textured surfaces.
