You do great work, Russ. Ever write about it? Especially interested in that T-29 you did.

Wayne and Terry. Thanks millions, fellas. You made my day!!

Thanks Andre. It has been quite a while since I submitted anything for publication. I may write something about the T-29 Ten Wheeler for The N Scale Steam Locomotive Information Book put out by the NTRAK organization. Until then there is a thread on another forum where I covered a little of the process.
Great looking stations everyone. Here are mine.
Basically a stock LL Main Line Station, with added platforms:
A kitbashed Atlas station:
And some heavily modified DPM modules:

This is a great thread. I like all the pictures so far.
Here's my Prairie View Depot. I had a very similar picture published in Trackside Photos of MR's Oct 2007 edition. Wow.... it's been a year already!

Aw, you guys--Terry, Crandell, Wayne, Garry--everyone. Such terrific stations.
I've got four on the Yuba River Sub--the largest is the same design as Crandell's--mine's from an old AHM "Ophir Station" kit, two of them, in Sierra City and Wagon Wheel Gap are old AHM "Arlee" station kits, and one of them is a little flagstop station from a WS metal kit at Bassett's.
Unfortunately, the closest thing I have to a close-up photo is the station at Wagon Wheel Gap:
Here's one of Bassett's--but you kind of have to look close to find it:
But wow, you guys have STATIONS!!

The SLOW Station at Hopewell Junction:
Ray Seneca Lake, Ontario, and Western R.R. (S.L.O.&W.) in HO
We'll get there sooner or later!
It;s not minge, but I love the Easdt Bend Station at Naptown Club. I had the opportunity to watch it rise from the cardboard tracing ground into something that photgraphs magnificently. Except when I have the camera it seems. A tad blurry.
I lovee your guy's work

Two more great images showing your super layout, Tom. Wow. I love the rock work. But I see a great deal in your first image, and your station is nestled right in there as if on a post card. Nicely done.

That is a fun kit to build. I also have built a version of this kit. It is a beautiful model. I also did a full interior for it but unfortunately I permanently attached the roof because of all the little details.

Some dandy looking stations guys!
Some are great looking, and some, oh boy, dare I say, "cute" on this forum?
I have one of these stations posted, bought at a show. Think I will "customize" it. I also have one that is a small country dual station that I did already customize, though it's not as cute as the one above.
Great jobs, guys.
Keep 'em coming!

Just my thoughts, ideas, opinions and experiences. Others may vary.
HO and N Scale.
After long and careful thought, they have convinced me. I have come to the conclusion that they are right. The aliens did it.
Crandell: Thank you for your kind words. Unfortunately, my Deer Creek station, which is the same as yours (I love those kits!) can only be photographed from the back, as the only way I could position it in the Deer Creek yards to face the mainline tracks was about 5" from the backdrop . Maybe I can set the camera on the tracks facing the station and pray as I snap the shutter, LOL!
Terry: I really love that station of yours. Is it based on the station at Thurmond, WVA? Reason I ask, is that the combo railroad-highway bridge on the branch leading across the river sure reminds me of an article in this month's TRAINS magazine. But it's just a beautiful job. Really, REALLY like it!

This thread is 14 years old and your question is very specific. Steve Otte will not charge you if you start a brand new thread about the Life Like model. There are Maryland modelers here who may be familiar with that model. Weathering makes all commercial models look better.
