Here's some more!

If everything seems under control, you're not going fast enough!
Hi I found some more stations!
And I had to include this!
Ok thanks!
Yes... Browse the site...
That's at the Izaac Walton Inn correct?
cascadenorthernrr Thanks! By the way how might I find bridges on that site?

And another thing...

Have Fun,

cascadenorthernrr Hi I am trying to figure out what style stations I am going to use on my cascade northern r.r. and I am reletively under-informed when it comes to structures of different railroads. If anyone can help I'd really appreciate it.

http://www.loc.gov/pictures/ then click on tab that says historic american building survey and type railroad stations in search bar.
Thanks!
cascadenorthernrr Who pray tell built it?

BigDaddy Glacier Park Lodge was built by the No Pacific

To Rocky, the Great Northern goat, them's fightin' words, pal.
NP did a lot of fine things, but building that lodge was not one of them.
I think this would be a great structure to model
Thats amazing!

COB Potomac & Northern
Shenandoah Valley
WOW! Could it be modeled as a station?
Timberline Lodge located on Mt Hood.
Okay cool!
cascadenorthernrr Could stone and timber be another option?
Could stone and timber be another option?
Yes stone could be used with lumber near an area where those round river rocks are common (near a river). The bottom half up to the windows might be rock and the upper walls and roof wood. Sometimes the entire wall is river rock.This structure looks at home in the northwest.
But a stone station is plausible right? And something similar to the Whistler Station or Carcross Station would be nice!
Is Bellingham a big city?
I would agree that the "standard" stations of Northwestern railroads would be wood.
I was thinking something similar to Whistler Station in Canada would be nice for one of the stations for the CNRR
ACY cascadenorthernrr I think that using a non-standard station concept is better for me! Havng each town have its own special station. Therefore I still am looking for inspiration for the stations and structures for the towns! In that case, the Walthers catalog is your friend. Pages and pages of options. Be sure to look them all over, including Alexander and some of the other kit manufacturers that are often ignored. And of course, scratchbuilding is another option. Tom

I agree with what he said above, browse through Walther's and see every possible choice on the market. Pick what you like.
In The Pacific Northwest lumber is king so everything is built with lumber. Bricks are an east coast thing. So a small depot is made with the local resources. Only a big city depot would be made of material from outside the region. It's the big stations showing off that are the ones which are different than the normal.
Please check out my other threads and my website (cascadenorthernrr.webs.com) thank you!
gmpullman Thanks, Mike and Cascade The families of Mr. Barriger and Robert G. Lewis should be commended for preserving these photos and making them available for our research and enjoyment. Be sure to see the other albums, particularly the AC&F photos and the Robert G. Lewis collections, too Mr. Barriger was president of the P&LE, Monon, B&M and MKT. Mr. Lewis was editor of Railway Age Magazine. https://www.flickr.com/photos/barrigerlibrary/albums Regards, Ed

I will be sure to check that out thanks!
gmpullman cascadenorthernrr If anyone can help I'd really appreciate it. Hi, I had posted a link recently to some station photos that have been added to the vast collection of the John W. Barriger III library on Flickr. It didn't seem to draw too much attention. http://cs.trains.com/mrr/f/13/t/260007.aspx You can browse MANY North American station photos there, with a few from Great Britain thrown in for good measure. Click on a photo and you can download a copy for your use. https://www.flickr.com/photos/barrigerlibrary/albums/72157677655266106 This one album alone has 2,965 photos. Should be something there to tickle your fancy... Have Fun, Ed
