A Small Town That Could Be Anywhere

Mike, then a few more pictures won't hurt!

Work progressed this evening on the station building.

Added thick paper corner planks, glued the bow-window in place with it's decorative details and scratchbuilt roof brackets from 1.5mm styrene sheet and Grandt Line's bolt details. I then sprayed everything with a coat of red oxyde primer because it is likely to be near the prototype practice. Windows will be painted cream.















The roof is just a temporary template. I'll make it overang a little bit more. Rear wall isn't protected by the roof. I needed more clearance for the station street/team track. In this respect, I'm following Broadalbin station once featured in August 1979 MR issue about Fonda, Johnstown & Gloversville.

I should get the remaining tracks tomorrow. I decided to use PECO code 83 tracks, looks better than the code 75 because the ties are finer. However, I'll keep the Setrack turnouts.
