For me it doesn't matter, I collect the aircraft-models, not the herpa airport.

The trees are crap and the fire station needs to be re-desgined

I ordered mind the other day, looks like I've wasted my money!

The trees did not look great in photos, I have not seen the real thing yet.
What is wrong with the fire station?

What were you thinking when you made those trees herpa? whats wrong with the fire station?

I think the fire station could probably use some more detail to it. It's pretty much a plastic box with red and silver and black paint on it as it is now. It would have been nice to maybe mold in some grooves on the garage doors to make them more realistic...or maybe used the smoked glass effect for the doors like on the terminal buildings. Just simple stuff could make it so much better.

I haven't seen the tree yet personally, so I'm not sure what to comment on about those just yet.

Hi. I use HO scaled trees for my airport. They are very nice. For a firestation I made my own (before herpa created one). They both do the job.

aa928 · 04-30-2002, 06:19 PM

HO?

arisa · 05-01-2002, 05:55 AM

I bought both.
I think that they become an accent that a Model Airport good for.

HO is a model railway scale about 1:87 I think, what was a small tree in that scale becomes a large one in 1:500, similarly bushes become trees. They generally look quite good. N scale trees can be used too.

Thanks for the info on the fire station guys, it sounds disappointing.
