@Putnam Division posted:I'm thinking ahead......I want a station for a moderately-sized urban area.....I don't want something as big as Grand Central, or Denver Union Station.......an urban station that is in the 8-10" by 16-20" range.
Two layouts ago, this is what I used, made from Buildings Unlimited parts:
The layout was 14x26 and the picture is from around 2000-2001. The building was probably constructed around 1997-98. (this layout was from 1993-2003)
The next layout was 6x16 (2011-2021), and I used the MTH Public Works building as a station....
I was thinking about "re-purposing" the older station.......but 1st I need to get rid of the hideous dark gray color.....This is with a coat of Tamiya light gray:
Looks much better, doesn't it?
Amother thought I had, was to acquire another Public Works building, and put the two together......
Lots of stuff to think about......

I second (or third) the kit bashed MTH banks option, Peter. Mine was a fun project and I think it came out really nice. I used only 2 banks, but it measures slightly longer than your 10x20 desired footprint. However, you could easily cut the center section in half and get it to your 20 inch length -
