TRAIN TIME: K-Line #K-1715B Hershey's Holiday Express Set (1997) - Pt 10 K-Line #K-40312 Hershey's Chocolate Town Suburban Station (1992)

This is basically a re-post from 18 Feb. In hindsight, I should have not posted the station back then, but rather wait until now when posting all the component pieces for the Holiday Express set. Oh well. This is another example of how K-Line simply placed an earlier separate sale item into a set vs. coming up with a new product - or just making a smaller set. Perhaps they had a lot of leftover stock, and this was one way to try and dispose of it!? Be Blessed and Relish Life! Ed 

K-Line #K-40312 Hershey's Chocolate Town Suburban Station (1992)

Hershey's offered two different suburban stations for their line of Hershey's products:  

-#K-01032 Hershey's Whistling Station with Figures and Accessories with really light tan - almost white - walls, a green roof, beige figures, and of course a steam whistle. This station came in sets and was not available for separate sale

-#K-40312 Hershey's Chocolate Town Suburban Station with creamy yellow walls, a chocolate brown roof, and chocolate brown figures and accessories.

Be Blessed and Relish Life! Ed 

Note: The box art appears to show the station with the same light tan walls as the #K-01032 

Do you remember painting figures back in the day with Testor's 'flesh' paint? That thick, acky, paint that went on in blobs and looked absolutely nothing like anyone's skin tone that I knew! That's what these remind me of 😄
