I am in the process of reusing and re-configuring a lot of my old layout. My old Baltic Street station was 8 feet long and had 2 tracks. There was a flimsy station entrance module. There was LED lighting and the wiring was visible. The platform pillars were 10 scale feet tall and the "BALTIC" designation was 1960s style. The platform was 16 scale feet wide and you could see the screws used to attach the basswood to a piece of plywood. A painted thin yellow stripe is visible. It was a nice design and had to be dismantled when I moved. Originally there was my first generation 3rd rail. Here are some pictures.
My new layout will have the same station. It will still be 8 feet long, but there will be 3 tracks instead of 2. There will be an express track in the middle. The station pillars have been cut to 9 scale feet tall. The same LED configuration is used but all the wiring is hidden. The "Baltic Street" designation is of the current era. A new station entry module for both local tracks was built based on my SketchUp design. All the pillars have updated bases since they were cut to meet the needs of the new design. The platform is 12 scale feet wide and uses 4 foot square tiling with a yellow rubber protection strip that is 2 scale feet wide. The second generation 3rd rail is used. Here are pictures for a 4 foot section on a single side. You cannot see the platform tiling or the rubber protection strip in these photos.
There is now uniformity in the way the LEDs are positioned. I will add photos showing the platform which will illustrate this. I am liking this design and it is incomplete. Any opinions. All is welcome.
