I've been wanting to add a fairly significant railway station to Henley, and was considering one by Pola and another by Hornby. Then I bumbled over this one (amazing thing, the internet), which I pulled the trigger on.
The Victorian architecture is the right look, and it only has to seem British to get the effect I am going after.

Miniature Gray Built Train Model Civic Station Library Depot HO Gauge Scale Total: $74.69
I try to look this up on the internet and don't find Gray Built, or variations thereof. That total cost reflects shipping charges, as well. I'm not quite sure what to expect, as it only measures 3 x 9 inches, which seems a bit small for what it represents.
It does appear 3D printed and not entirely sure if this thing is carved out of a solid block of plastic and ready to be plopped down on the layout or assembly required. I am going to use the photo below as a guide to painting it up. The structure below is a civic hall in Liverpool, UK.
My British friends tell me that common practice is for such a structure to be placed perpendicular to stub end tracks, and so we shall.
