Unlike their predecessors from all over the world it is set in a railway station near a town instead of the traditional Sesame Street neighbourhood.

In 1987, NRK approached Children's Television Workshop about the possibility to make a Norwegian co-production of Sesame Street.

In 1989, an agreement was reached between NRK and CTW, and the production of Sesam stasjon began in September 1990.

As part of the preparation for the show, Kermit Love traveled to Norway in June 1990 to teach the Norwegian puppeteers.

Eyvind Skeie and Lena Seimler wrote the teleplays, the costumes were designed by NRK's Costume Designer Ellen Andreassen Jensen while Sigvald Tveit wrote the music for the songs from the show.

One of these longer stories was about how Alfa entered a contest to write a television show.

The puppets used for the show had to be sent to the Children's Television Workshop (CTW) whenever they had to be rinsed, because the mechanism used to operate them was confidential.

Only the station side was repainted in a colourful manner characteristic for Sesame Street, while its back was yellow and green.
