I now have the Walthers HO kits I intend to use for my station area. They are 2 of the Milwaukee Shed kit http://www.ebay.com/itm/350583167338 and 2 (for now) of the umbrella sheds. http://www.ebay.com/itm/390471255935 This concept is pretty firm at this point. I am making concrete extensions to raise it all up maybe ½. That all just has to be executed. Next up is picking and buying the station itself which will be on the backdrop. I have a real 1 inch or less to represent the station. I sort of like the Union station http://www.ebay.com/itm/200821630447 because it reminds me of 30th Street.
There are 2 yards tracks between the backdrop and what I am considering to be a station shed tracks that will be busy in switching the REA area to the right and from the enginehouse at left. http://www.lanestrains.com/My_Layout_Photos/New_Station_Sidewalk.jpg The station might be in the area of the bridge girders. When I first thought about this area I envisioned a people bridge like in Harrisburg joining the station to the shed. Since I dont have much in the way of structure skills I now think this concept should be greatly simplified somehow. Keeping it simple gets it done faster as well! But how to tie the station building on the backdrop 2 tracks away into the shed scene? Would it be accepted practice to have all of the passengers walk across 2 active yard tracks to gain access to the train shed? It is simple to show but it does not seem overly plausible. Since this is such a unique issue to me it might be better to reply directly to [email protected] Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
