2. Dream Scenario
Scale version of the St. Louis Union Station - It Scales down to 12.5 Feet Wide
Ambitious scenario, with an equally ambitious track plan...
Haha - I'm glad you included this. 32 tracks under the shed. I'd better start now or I won't live to see it in its completion
I may have to settle for selective compression. That building is stunning inside and out. A real gem of architecture. I would have loved to have seen it in its railroading hay day. It was repurposed into a mall/hotel/restaurants in the late 80s/early 90s. Most of the stores and restaurants closed in the early 2000s. Now they are planning to add a large aquarium attraction ($45 million) and a Ferris wheel in the next couple years.
I wonder if it's been done in HO, N, or Z scale? I tried searching online, but didn't find anything.
When I visited Todd Architectural a few days ago, I saw one facade of the New York Penn Station model he is restoring... it would have stretched a Manhattan city block - if I remember correctly, Doug said it was 10 feet wide in H.O., so I assume it would be double that in O. Talk about not having real estate!!!
