Hi

I am looking for information in regards to a HO Train Station I will be installing on my layout. The issue I am having is that I cannot find a kit  that look  suitable . I might do some kitbashing to get close [enough] to the real thing, which is fine.

The original is a turn of the century station of the Intercontinental rr and it has been modified (roof line) over the years. It's an all brick building. The roof pitch is the signature of the station.

Well I'm still awaiting more roofing material to finish the main roof off. So for now I've mounted hinges on the doors and put them in place as you'll see in the following images.

I decided to use after market hinges as the ones in the kit are peel and stick and I wanted something a little more realistic with a working hinge. So I came across campbell scale models strap hinges and ordered a them.

Yes, it's a rerun - and the reason that I'm posting it (and other reruns) is that there are constantly new members & guests to this excellent site and many may have not seen this before. This post is about a structure that I made for my good friend Kevin Klettke for his awesome Washington Northern layout - http://wnrr.net.

In this part I've started the roofing on the work shop portion of the engine shed and put together the stove pipe for the shop.

I used corrugated metal for the roof material, from Northwestern scale lumber. I first cut it into scale 4' x 8' sheets. The easiest way I found to do this was to score it with my hobby knife and then with a metal ruler held along the score bend the metal back and forth a few times until it breaks along the score. I used CY glue to attach the roofing material as tacky glue would not stick to the smooth metal surface very well.
