Most major railroads had engineering departments with standard designs for depots, freight stations, towers, etc... Your best bet for freelancing is to find either
1) a railroad you interchange with that could serve as a "parent" road from which you could use their structure designs or
2) Find a shortline or regional road and use their structures as a guide for kitbashing/scratchbuilding your own.
There have been many articles and drawings on "standard" structures in MRR, RMC, and other publications. Just search the index.http://trc.trains.com/en/Train%20Magazine%20Index.aspx
Modeling whatever I can make out of that stash of kits that takes up half my apartment's spare bedroom.
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.
