Nice job Don, well done.

Hard to choose...l have several bashed country store/gas station buildings. Now for bigger buildings, l also have several each of grain elevators, mining stamp mills, and water mills, and, yes, railroad stations.  I just like rustic structures.   

I'll play:

Plasticville small town station.  Attractive, easy to build or modify, typical structure and the first station I ever got in about 1950.

There are two.

Watchman's shanty at Depot Street crossing.  

"Small" depends on your perspective- I like the way my "Lionel Power Station" kit turned out as "Tri-State Machining".  Mine is to the left of pic- the other is a different OGR Forum post of the kit built and weathered. 

Lionel 6-12931

This kit has tons of charm- skylights, an office entrance and could be almost any small manufacturer.

ANY Woodland Scenic Ready-Built building.

ANYTHING SKILLFULLY SCRATCH BUILT

Mine is this corner local bar. Don't remember who made these kits but I really like the way it turned out. What's yours, kit or Pre-made. click to enlarge. Don

Beautiful scene.  Especially love the peak at the "Cedar Rapids" passing by in the background!

I like the Lionel building that Mike Wyatt posted. I bought them by the dozen and would kitbash them into all kinds of different things.

Here's a little kit from Berkshire Valley that I just love.

I'm kind of fond of this little tool shanty that I built 100% from coffee-stirrer sticks:

"REED's Café", "Frank's Barber Shop" and the TEXACO gas station.....

PRRMike, I have had one of those Plasticville shanty's on every layout I have built. I light mine a detail them much like you.  Don

"Cloud Catcher Depot"i

scrap off the pile, matches, glue, $1 grass, etc. . Normally doesn't see that much light in that corner either.

These are just a few of the craftsman kits I built.  I have done many more.  I think Hinkle's store was my favorite in this collection.   Dennis.

Here are a couple more.  I really had fun with the gas station (not finished in these pics), but the A&W Stand was the hardest building I have ever attempted.  I do prefer to work with wood.    Dennis.

Hartman, I bought the same A&W kit and it looked so easy. Yours came out better than mine. Mine never made the cut to go on the layout. Don
