The structures you'll be seeing in the final set of photos are all scratch built. These include the REA building and platforms, the station platforms and the station.

Here is a photo of the rear of the station. The station is a superior work of art but I don't have time to show it today. I'll show the station tomorrow.

The next set of pictures is of Cliff's passenger station. The station is an HO scale version of the Union Passenger Terminal in New Orleans.
IT IS COMPLETELY SCRATCH BUILT! YES, COMPLETELY!

Every detail has been faithfully reproduced and scaled to HO. Photos were taken of different areas of details and the photos were scaled and used on the build.

Cliff was kind enough to remove the roof and show us the detail on the inside of the passenger waiting area. As mentioned, it is detailed down to the lockers.



Continued in a few.

I realized that I should have taken more photos of the station. Hindsight I guess.
