Wow what a menagerie of subjects today! Palallin - first Happy Birthday!! Best wishes hope you had a great day. You know Lionel (ever clever) sold the #45 as both Standard Gauge and O Gauge. The only difference was the section of straight track that you got with the item when new. Later they eliminated providing the track and just offered the same item to both. Fatman - nice to see "Tuco" certainly is a pretty colorful fellow (girl?). Daniel - great find, not to be too concerned with the paint, after all the station is over a century old we should just be glad it still exists. Arnie - that is one beautiful bridge, the lights and the bold truss pattern certainly make it unique. lewrail - Sorry I loved the "Biller layout" but have no clue as to the manufacturer of the stations. I looked through my references on Carette, Ismayer and Bub and could find no matches as most of the stations pictured appeared older in architectural style so I am out of options to guess.
Best wishes all
Don
