Few month ago I bought a station, but the roof was made from plywood.
So I printed some tiles and glue them on this plywood base.

Last week-end I started to create the platform with Syporex.

Now I would like to add some stuff on the platform like benches, lights, fences. But I don't know how to fix them.

Do you have any idea please ?

Hello

Here is a quick video of the first train stopping in my station.
I have decided to named my station "walnut lane station" as my street's name is "gros noyer" In French which can be translated as "huge walnut tree"

Great little video. Nicely framed and realistic running speeds.

Thanks

The running speed is possible thanks to battery powered loco.

Do you have an idea to fix accessories on the platform made of aerated concrete ?

I enjoyed the scale speed too, particularly the gentle station stop...

Sam, would silicone sealant ( as used in bathrooms etc) work to fix things to your platform?

Cheers,

Andrew.

If you really want things permanently fixed, try Gorilla Glue ( the original foaming one ). I used it to glue a loose stone platform edge to the concrete platform. It's still in place after about 5 years.

Another possibility is instant grab adhesive.
