I recently purchased an HO scale Union Station. Nice kit with a little paint and a few added details. But, it seems rather small, almost N scale. The main station building is about 20' X 20' and 22' high. I was wondering if anyone knows the size of the foot print of the O scale Union Station. Maybe it will be a closer match to HO than I tought.

My "O" Union Station is an actual 6.5 " wide X 9.5" long X 5" high (without the two add-on platforms) Hope this helps!
Thanks. I'm going to use your dimensions for a cardboard mock-up and see how it looks.

iam looking for a n scale station right now and is there any way you can tell me the dimensions for that one?
Sorry I took so long to reply. I go on and off the site. Anyway, the dimensions of the HO scale Union Station, in inches, are:
4" Across the front
2" Deep (front to back)
2.5" High
Platforms (4) are:
2.75 Long
2.75" High
1" Deep
I also used an 'N' scale rule:
45' Across the front (smaller than my house)
25' Deep (smaller than my house)
30' High (2 stories-15' per story is not an unusual height) (A little taller than my 1 story ranch)
The platforms are:
35' Long
35' High
15' Deep
Personally, I think the dimension are a better 'N' scale fit than HO.
