Hello Tommy.
I built myself a Faller station ("Neustadt") and, as You can see on the kit You did already buy (and on the pictures), there is a rib along the platform, which ensures correct spacing with "conventional" (Märklin) track ; the overall width of Märklin track is 11mm, and 16mm for Rokuhan. This means that, if You don't remove the rib, You will have 5mm less space between Your tracks. And if You remove the rib, there will be a hole that You must fill with an Evergreen profile, and then do some "filing" (or milling) work to make the face of the profile oblique (and/or perhaps remove some amount at the Rokuhan ballast, too), in order to allow the track to come "nearer" to the platform. It seems that the hall was designed for "standard" space (25 mm from axis to axis, 50mm is with a platform "enclosed" ) between the tracks so, without the suggested modifications, I think You will have some issues ...

Tommy,
I don't have the structures you've mentioned, but just going over the numbers. it seems obvious that something would have to be cut to get things to fit just as Alberich has described. I'd suggest a different approach: raise the station and platforms to the height of the roadbed, about 100 mils. This way you could use the Rokuhan track without roadbed (R045) through the platform area the way that Faller intended. I've been using a sheet of cork from the hobby store that is marked 1/8" but measures more like 3/32".
Hope this helps,
Mark
