Two more great images showing your super layout, Tom. Wow. I love the rock work. But I see a great deal in your first image, and your station is nestled right in there as if on a post card. Nicely done. [bow]

That is a fun kit to build. I also have built a version of this kit. It is a beautiful model. I also did a full interior for it but unfortunately I permanently attached the roof because of all the little details.
Here is a picture:
Some dandy looking stations guys!
Some are great looking, and some, oh boy, dare I say, “cute” on this forum?[;)]
I have one of these stations posted, bought at a show. Think I will “customize” it. I also have one that is a small country dual station that I did already customize, though it’s not as cute as the one above.
Great jobs, guys.
Keep 'em coming!
Crandell: Thank you for your kind words. Unfortunately, my Deer Creek station, which is the same as yours (I love those kits!) can only be photographed from the back, as the only way I could position it in the Deer Creek yards to face the mainline tracks was about 5" from the backdrop [:O]. Maybe I can set the camera on the tracks facing the station and pray as I snap the shutter, LOL!
Terry: I really love that station of yours. Is it based on the station at Thurmond, WVA? Reason I ask, is that the combo railroad-highway bridge on the branch leading across the river sure reminds me of an article in this month’s TRAINS magazine. But it’s just a beautiful job. Really, REALLY like it!

Opinion of the Life-Like model please. Im considering using it but have not seen one except in poor pictures. Thanks
The “New” Black River Station:
Built from a highly modified Bachmann Franford Junction Kit.
This thread is 14 years old and your question is very specific. Steve Otte will not charge you if you start a brand new thread about the Life Like model. There are Maryland modelers here who may be familiar with that model. Weathering makes all commercial models look better.
