Augusta Station opened in 2002. It was located in Augusta, Missouri, the heart of Missouri's
wine country. Conceived by David Senften as place for children and parents to share fun experiences and for all to discover
the importance of play no matter what our age. A model train layout was the major focus of the Station but not the exclusive
one. Augusta Station closed in mid 2007, enjoyed by many but still too few. The N scale layout reached about fifty percent
of the planned size. It did demonstrate, however, the potential of N scale for large spaces and not just small ones.
Click on "What's New" to check for the addition of new materials since
closing the Station. More photo albums of interest to modelers and railfans continue to be added and new
entries are made in the Station Master's Journal. Although there may be less activity on this site than in the past,
I hope you will drop by now and then.
This site is being maintained so that people may know what was planned and what was accomplished.
I want to thank all who visited the Station during the 5 years we were open. I also want to thank the voluteers who lent their
efforts to the construction of the MK&P layout. Three years after operations ceased, the N scale MK&P layout
still sits in the darkened Augusta Station. Yet it appears as if nothing more than turning on the power would be required
for trains to be running again. How long that will remain to be true is anyone's guess.
