Terry, that is some excellent work.

Burbank Depot was a favorite place to hang out during my youth. Had to build a model of it 40 years later.

Great modelling evident here. [8D] I dont think I have anything to compare favourably, but this is what I have.

Another great looking scene, Crandell.

You’re just too modest it’s a great looking station

But i really like the way you took the photo

I would love to see the same photo with the turntable rotated so the gallows

frames the station and the loco

Thank you ! Peter

Here’s a link to see how the first one was built

Here’s mine, built from a Grizzly Flats Depot craftsman kit:Photobucket

Seen here is the track-spanning main station (a rather unique kitbash) serving the city of Jacksboro, NY, on the Hudson Highlands Railroad. The scene is not fully completed, nor superdetailed, as yet.

Crawford Notch Station in New Hampshire. I forget who makes the kit.

I’ve used walthers stations for awhile and am working on scratchbuilding my own.

Prototype Cumberland Station circa 1989, looking much as it did when the WM stopped using it in 1975…

And my “work in progress”…

You do great work, Russ. Ever write about it? Especially interested in that T-29 you did.

Hi all: This is probably my favorite of the two.

34

The Sykesville, MD station reminds me of my favorite, the old Point of Rocks station (I have some photos of the prototype somewhere, but haven’t found them–they were taken in the '80’s on color slide film). Someday I’d like to try to scratchbuild something like it for my layout.

35

Thanks Andre. It has been quite a while since I submitted anything for publication. I may write something about the T-29 Ten Wheeler for The N Scale Steam Locomotive Information Book put out by the NTRAK organization. Until then there is a thread on another forum where I covered a little of the process.

Great looking stations everyone. Here are mine.

Basically a stock LL Main Line Station, with added platforms:

A kitbashed Atlas station:

And some heavily modified DPM modules:

This is a great thread. I like all the pictures so far.

Here’s my Prairie View Depot. I had a very similar picture published in Trackside Photos of MR’s Oct 2007 edition. Wow… it’s been a year already!

38

Aw, you guys–Terry, Crandell, Wayne, Garry–everyone. Such terrific stations.

I’ve got four on the Yuba River Sub–the largest is the same design as Crandell’s–mine’s from an old AHM “Ophir Station” kit, two of them, in Sierra City and Wagon Wheel Gap are old AHM “Arlee” station kits, and one of them is a little flagstop station from a WS metal kit at Bassett’s.

Unfortunately, the closest thing I have to a close-up photo is the station at Wagon Wheel Gap:

Here’s one of Bassett’s–but you kind of have to look close to find it:

But wow, you guys have STATIONS!! [bow]

The SLOW Station at Hopewell Junction:

It;s not minge, but I love the Easdt Bend Station at Naptown Club. I had the opportunity to watch it rise from the cardboard tracing ground into something that photgraphs magnificently. Except when I have the camera it seems. A tad blurry.

I lovee your guy’s work
