I've had these two classic Plasticville small stations since I was a kid in the early 70's. They were originally white for a long time and then one day I painted them Jade Green to fit my Penn Central theme. As you can see I attempted to make one look abandoned. I removed them from the layout some time ago because I was dissatisfied with their appearance but I still kept them since I'm reluctant to throw away anything with decent looking windows.

A few days ago I got an idea to salvage the stations by "bashing" them into a switch tower, placing one on top of the other. A staircase, some railing, and a few odd details completed the transformation that I'm now happy to place back on the layout. I'm making some cosmetic changes in the area where the tower will be located but I'll post a pic once its in place.

Recycle/Reuse! Just doing my part to be green...Penn Central Green, that is.
