Thanks Warin,
I have been using a node or polygon for the railway station as
follows however it is raising a level 2 error in osmose...
name=xxx
historic:railway = station (or station_site)
I think osmose may be complaining that it is not an area?
If an area, then it may just be that historic:railway is not documented
on the wiki.... so osmose objects.
If the building can be traced, I would also add a polygon
building=train_station
There appears to be a lot of confusion (see
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Railway_stations#Stations_and_sites_which_are_not_currently_in_operation )
over
* historic:railway=station
* railway:historic=station
* disused=yes
* not tagging it at all with any railway tags
disused=yes is not good, it should be disused:*=*
I would be against railway:historic... for historic:railway.
The confusion is because people try to map different things:
some try to map things that are no longer there - don't map, use OHM!
some try to map things that are disused - disused:*=*
some try to map things that are re-purposed
The answers are many, and even where the item is the same thing the
answers change from mapper to mapper and with time.
Example: disused=yes used to be the tagging method, now it is
disused:*=*...
I want to keep the information from appearing in current travel
options but available to explain how the township formed around a
particular location
Personally I don't usually use historic as I am not usually certain of
the historic worth of the thing. So usually disused: abandoned: etc for me.

The building is still a building...map as a way with
building=train_station as it is recognisable as a train station?
It does appear to be now a museum... I'd map that as a separate node
with the relevant details.
It was a train station or halt.. Could be be one again? This
should be
an area that includes the building and local track.
disused:railway=halt/station or disused:public_transport=station
or abandoned:*=*
If no longer in existence then consider mapping it in OHM.
Nothing Oz specific about it?
