Mauston Wisconsin station

[ak-milw]

The next build for the town of Mauston will be the Milw. Rd. station. Here is a picture from 1912.



I will be modeling it in the 1950's, the only change is the door on the right side of this picture has been changed to a window. It will be basicly a basswood sheet box with Rusty Stumps brick sheet added. Using Tichy doors and windows and Rusty Stumps large diamond shingles for the roof. Hope you all follow along!

Interesting looking station.  Looks like it has a second floor.  Large station for a small town.  I'll be following to see your build.

Thanks guy's for signing on.

Now I don't want anyone to get to excited but the wall blanks are cut from 1/16 thick basswood sheet.

Minor set back, Ordered the wrong size windows, I have the right ones coming.

I hate it when that happens!

The right sized windows arrived today, so back to the build.

I have all the doors and windows laid out, tape on the back and ready for cutting. I didn't think this was exciting enough for a picture.

Andy,
What color will the brick be painted ? It seems like a light color in the photo....Is the prototype station still standing ?

Tom,
The station started out cream colored brick and dark brown trim. Later it was painted light gray with dark gray trim. I just have to figure out when they changed the colors to match my timeline. The prototype is long gone.

Andy, Have not been to this place to eat yet, but the outside window arches and the unique attic window detail shows up well on this link. It's the Freighthouse Restaurant in LaCrosse, Wisconsin. Click on the photo that says "see outside". Hope this helps.

Tom, thanks for the link, been in there a few times and by there a lot. La Crosse is the big shopping spot close to us, about an hour west.
