Deluxe Knapford Station

If you only visit one railway station this year, then make it Knapford Station. 

Spanning four lines of track, this classic English style station will be the centre piece of any railway system you design.  If you had to describe Knapford in two words, they would be big, and busy.  This wooden railway destination is definitely not for wimps.  The four lines can create a logistical challenge for young engineers.  You have to be a master of your craft to integrate this Seven Wonder of Sodor into a simple track layout.  Fortunately the guys at Learning Curve supply two pieces of special track which merge two lines into  one,   and   two   track   bumpers

which help bring things to a conclusion.  Throw a couple of engines into the mix, and Knapford Station becomes busy, and I mean really busy.  To ease the stress of controlling this mayhem, Knapford Station incorporates an integrated intercom system.  Pull out the retractable microphone, and you can start telling Thomas where to go... politely of course.

"The authentic design of Knapford Station will literally stop any train in it's tracks."
