Thanks for the kind words everyone. Russ, I've attached a link to one site where they discuss the layout of a then new passenger station, with separate mens and womens waiting rooms. There was just one ticket booth. Of course, by 1950, the time I model, the rooms would not have been segregated any longer. I'm going with the thought that there was a waiting room on each end, and baggage, ticketing and restrooms were in the center section. It would be nice for sure to see a detailed ticketing and other functions in the center section but this is being done as an afterthought and I don't want to spent too much time on it. The waiting areas shouldn't be too difficult to do, I have some passenger car siding I will use for the bottom of the walls, with a chair rail installed to separate the wallpapered upper wall. I'm ordering some benches, radiators and clocks from Scale Structures. Here is what you see thru the windows:
Here you see I've added the cherry wood flooring, and molding to support a ceiling. I will run wires up thru the floor on the center section and thru the walls dividing the bldg into three sections above these ceilings to install lighting. I will cut a hole in the center of the ceiling sections and I need to find a globe of some type I can use as a light fixture, I plan to visit a craft store after I dig out of the snow to see what I can find. I can apply molding around the windows but am not sure how to handle the bottoms of the doors. They have no detail on the inside, and the window glazing runs their entire length. I guess I'll fabricate a panel of some type to place there.
Here you see I've attached the interior flooring to the frame for the platform, so the bottom side of the station is open, allowing me to detail the interior walls without too much difficulty, although it would have been easier if I had planned it before assembling the station. Placing the benches and people will be very easy. Until I get some items I've ordered, all I have left to do is stain and attach the platform planking. Time to get to work shoveling now, I'm afraid!
