Finally got the track work done and trains running again. Now I have a rough draft of how Johnstown is going to fit into the corner. Overall I like the way it looks but obviously this is just an approximation.

City architecture is hard work

Great start laying out your concept.  I find it very challenging to get the look, feel, and reasonable functionality right.  Keep is posted on your progress.

A thought

I like what you've done but have a thought: the diner looks to be the classic rail car body diner style; what if you moved it to the same side of the street as the station?  This would allow you a bit of space between buildings so you're not jamming, and it would also mean the restaurant's back would be to anyone standing where the photo was taken, but as someone once said, what makes the railroads more personal than driving is you're always looking into someone's backyard.

Just a thought worth what you paid for it.
