This site has some maps and photos, Isaac.

http://godwin.bobanna.com/interurban_gr_holland.html

So many interurban lines were abandoned in the early and mid 1920s makes it difficult to trace R-of-W sometimes.

Can you imagine, civic leaders are talking about how wonderful it would be to have a rail line on this route some 100 years later!

https://www.grbj.com/articles/91975-rail-service-could-link-gr-holland

Where was the vision when these lines were abandoned? 

Very Interesting! Nice to learn a little bit more about those tracks! I’ll have to look to see if I can find some evidence of tracks in some other places, now I know where the tracks were!

I can understand why people might consider storing commuter service along that line, there is certainly demand, but the question is whether or not people in the area will ride the train or still opt for their cars! I do know I’d certainly make use of the line if the timings where convenient!

Anyway back to our regularly scheduled plain bearings please!

Regards, Isaac

I think the tack board would still be completely functional in its current orientation.

Functional, yes. Aesthetically? Maybe not so much. I don't recall ever seeing one with the boards going vertically like that. I believe it is an Intermountain RTR car. Someday, when I'm all caught up with more pressing issues I may get around to correcting it Whistling

Ed, is that the old interurban line that ran from Grand Rapids to Holland Mi (but not Chicago?)? I think I know where the old line used to be, in Wyoming Mi, just west of GR is a diagonal street in an area where all the other streets are horizontal or vertical, and I’ve heard that’s the old inter urban... I just had to comment that I think I may know this obscure little line, though not by name until now!

...More Railroad stations please.

Here's the Grand Valley's Dunnville station, built in the '20s with New York Central's money.  They were also responsible for the grade separation project, but pulled out just before the stockmarket crash in '29....that's my explanation for the lack of ballast.

The structure was mostly scratchbuilt using .060" sheet styrene, with the doors and windows being leftovers from a couple of Walthers Front Street Warehouse kits.

Track fiddler
Please carry on with the bricks.

If you drive north on Hwy 6 out of Hamilton, Ontario, it won't take too long before you begin to see a lot of older homes and businesses built with buff-coloured brick. 
Since the real town of Mount Forest is within that area, I decided that my version of that town should have some buff-brick structures, too, even though I'm not making any attempt to otherwise model that town prototypically.  Here's the only one there, so-far, the train station, courtesy of Walthers...

Great-looking scene, Peter, but I had to look-up Zundapp. 

Turns out there's one for sale right here in town, but I'm not sure that I'd want to return to riding, and certainly not in the temperatures and conditions around here at this time of the year.  Been there, done that.

Since you've shown us such a nice brick building, I'll add another, not quite so nice, but serviceable as the engine house at Lowbanks....

Originally built as a Vollmer three-stall roundhouse, I had to change it into the version shown just to get it to fit on the layout.
