Did you try the Walters catalog? You can also do a google & find other HO train suppliers on the web. My guess is for not custom made Walters will come the closest to your needs. Do you live in Miami? If yes I am about 80 miles north of you! [:o)]

For a current modern rail station - Amtrak - go to Walthers, purchase a transit bus stop, place beside tracks with AMTK on the side.

For models of Penn Station and LAUPT, again, go to Walthers, purchase lots of tools to work in plastic (ABS), purchase lots of structural Plastruct items, purchase a big book on classic railroad stations and their design, declare bankruptcy and plan to spend the rest of your life scratch-building you structures. Probably take a 50 by 100 foot lot for each building. Don't forget that Penn Station has Madison Square Gardens built above it.
