Mike, that terminal is exquisite!

I do still have these buildings and a few more. Sorry for the pics, I am not a photographer.
My last real layout was when I was 17 in 84 and after we moved, I started to make buildings for a future layout.
They are a lot cruder in person. Those fine details are nails as door handles and electric tape as door hinges and latches. There is even a whole toothpick in the railing of one of the towers!.
They are based on B&O buildings from the standard plans and a few from buildings I saw a couple of times before they were tore down.
Here is a cardboard station that was the result of a pump car trip in 1991. It is still there and in good hands.

Artie, thanks for you kind comment, and thanks for the "Likes," guys. there is so much great work in this thread that I have been hesitant to resurrect this old project. I could spend an hour just clicking the "Like" button every time it's warranted here.
Great thread!

Yeah; looking at this more than once is boring. Right! I couldn't agree with Artie more.

Below is nothing to compare to the quality of previous submittals but I had a fun time making it. It occupies a spot at Trolley Park that always seemed to have a trolley or locomotive just sitting around. I would remove them and they would creep back in the middle of the night. I used foam core for the sides covered with ye olde walls with printed windows and doors. A lot of time was spent on the roof as I really did not want it to warp. Used a lot of super glue and some enamel paint to keep the dreaded water based products away. 8-) Anyhow, it is what it is. I have a kit-bashed engine house into an abandoned factory I might trot out later. Do TRAIN ON!

The feed mill and gas station are scratchbuilt. I built the feed mill after looking at several close to me that had been added on to during the years. None of them seemed to care if the addition matched the original structure.
