Ray, I guess I'll bite first.  I have two: (Click pictures to enlarge)

Alexander Scale Model NYC Freight Depot

I like them both.  The NYC Freight Depot is a 40-50 year old craftsman kit, which I put together earlier this year.  I still have a few things to finish up on it - e.g. add exterior lighting.  The sliding door(s), wood flooring, and inside trim work were my own additions to the kit.

Terry,

First off, nice scratch-built job on the C & O depot.  I like it!

Yes, that particular depot is still available - although no longer in production.  (FYI: Tomar Industries recently bought the Alexander Scale Model (ASM) dies and has begun to re-release a few of the kits.)  The windows in your depot look an awful lot like ASM windows.  Are they metal?

I've seen the original kits on eBay for $15-20.  I've enjoyed "adding to" the kits to make them unique but believable.  Believe it or not, the original NYC prototype is STILL standing in Caledonia, MI - although it's primarily used for storage now.

Here's a passenger waiting shelter at East Mifflin on my N scale Pennsylvania RR:

It's made by PA Heritage Models.  I added a brick platform.

Thanks Tom

Yes the windows are metal And i can't seem to find any more

My LHS only carries plastic

I'll be checking Ebay I'd like to find a kit like that to replace the Warthers Built up

I'm using now in the town of New Hope

I figure i can paint it Grey and white to give it a C&O look

Here's my main line station:

It's a Life Like Main Line Station kit (unfortunately no-longer in production), I extended the platforms on.  It still needs some signs, and I'm going to add some railings to the platforms.

Here's my branch line station:

This one is the Atlas kit, without the dormers.  Since the branch is a PRR line, I'm thinking about repainting the station into Pennsy colors.

Terry,

Check into the Alexander Scale Model windows on the Tomar web site:

http://www.tomarindustries.com/asm.htm

They should still be metal but I would e-mail Tomar just to double-check.  They have quite a variety of parts for scratch-building structures.
