Hi,

Does anyone know if their is a company that make 'ready made' European 
continental station platforms.

I can find kits but so far no ready made ones.

Cheers

Mark

Wrong group - this is for UK modelling only.

I think Fleischmanm (sp?) sell setrack platforms (similar to the
Hornby ones), but for thier pre-ballasted setrack, so they would
probably be too high for real ballast. To bring this on topic[0], IIRC
it has rough stone sides and gravel top, so it might be suitable for
a 4mm narrow gauge main line (something similar to the early IoMR). It
might also be a suitable height for TT[1], but I suspect anyone
working in TT would be happy scratchbuilding platforms anyway.

[0] This group is for models of .uk prototypes, (and I assume the
Gurnsey Railway and IoMR would be on-topic as I haven't seen
any other appropriate groups for them), and covers light and heavy
rail and railway-like tramways (such as the W&U or Selsey Tramway).

[1] I think they are slightly over 1cm high, and 8-9cm wide, but it
has been a while since I last saw them and I don't have a catalouge
handy.

As noted, I think Fleischmann may be your best bet, but I understand
that the Swiss and Austrians are very keen on railway modelling.  I
have no idea how good this lot are but Google gave me
http://www.winco.uk.com/ as a source for Swiss and Austrian outline.
