Walther's Milwaukee depot

nice station, I bought it BUT for this reason.

there is enough similarities that should be able to mod it around and make the IC chicago terminal.

Since I am modeling the South Shore with the IC electric, it only makes sense, its a dominate feature. I have the IC animated sign from Miller engineering, and it stood on top of it.

this sign is so cool, it copies it exactly.

They just made the Pabst sign.

I just bought this kit also. I’ll be trying to use it whole or if I have to, kit bash it smaller. I’m curious about how you plan to fill the mortar lines. They are very “fine” on this kit. A good friend is recommending an overspray of polyscale “concrete” paint. It’s a beautiful kit, but a bit intimidating due to the number of parts for this relative newbie.

I have put together a wood LaBelle Ohio Electric freight motor, so never intimidated by mass of parts.

It will take some study, it may take some Walthers modulars also. I found pics of the depot and printed them out.

It can be done with a little care and patience. Here is a photo of my completed station, painted to suit my layout preferences.

I’ve wondered about kitbashing it into something resembling Minneapolis City Hall…
