Here's the building on my old layout sometime after 9-11-2001:

I can roughly estimate the date because if you look just over the station roof you can spot an ALF open cab pumper.  That model was in transit on, and arrived a bit late from Diecast Direct because of 9-11.  The catenary was non-functioning fishing line and eventually got all the way around.  The layout got uncerimoniously dismantled when I discovered I had no idea what to do with the Disneyland models I built in 2011! 

Anyhoo.  The building had an old Bell System ad I clipped from a vintage National Geographic and glued on the left wall plus ground foam vines, light weathering and a few other bits that I wanted to remove.

And, I added display windows using old rubbery figures we used to use with gingerbread houses:

On the left I have a kid hiding behind a snowman getting ready to throw a snowball at 2 kids on a sled:

The right window is a father trying to teach his kids to skate on a frozen pond:]

To install them I had to saw off two of the screw channels that connect the base to the first story, but that was the only permanent mod I made.

I see it all right!  Remember to show us the finished project!

I also see you caught ol' Darth playing with your layouts again.  Well, if it keeps him out of trouble...

I'm working on recreating this scene:

I'm using my MTH 4 story train shop building as a base.  See it?  Waaaaayyyy in the back of my old layout?

At the bustling Romney depot, Darlene is taking on water, as Miss Mona glides over the deck bridge in the background.  FifeMax is dead center.  Before there were frisbees, this is what Border Collies actually did.
