Your model has the potential to be STELLAR! Keep us posted on the progress of this future work of art.
Randy,
When I called this a "VERY long term" project, I wasn't kidding! With my job and keeping up a 87 year old house, plus playing with grandkids, I don't have the time I would like to have to work on trains. However, some progress has been made since the photos were taken about a year ago. I added outside details on the upper portion of walls, plus the turret on track side:
Also rain gutters that are copper on the prototype. I used styrene shapes:
The fireplace on the women's side of the lobby was a focal point, and is still in fantastic shape. Here's the model with the only interior photo I could find, taken somewhere around 1900:
The ornate ticket booth will be added "sometime"
I've made the roof removable, as well as the second story's floor. So here's where I had to imagineer what it may look like. As stated before, the present day's owners won't let anybody upstairs due to the HVAC equipment there:
With all the clear, transparent parts to this station, light might create a stunning effect, albeit in a much smaller scale, like it did in the original Penn Station in NYC. Arnold
