I'm considering building a model of the Reading Terminal shed, in Philly. It was in operation from 1893-1984. Today its part of the PA Convention Center, in Center City. It had 13 tracks I believe, my version will be about 2' wide, and include 10 tracks.
Does anyone have any recommendations regarding a 'stand in,' or kitbash? -I've considered the Walther's MILW trainshed-not the right type of supports.
-Also considered scaling the 'Large Overall Roof,' from 'Scalescenes.com.'
-Latest is to try something from 'bridgeboss.com,' but their are geared mainly towards 'O' and larger scales.
-Didn't see anything from N-Scale Architect, or Microstructures, at the recent Springfield show.
My recollection is that Grand Central in Chicago had a similar shed, and/or maybe Louisville, or Nashville, might have had a similar passenger station shed, in their heyday. Not sure about similar structures in Europe, but I'm aware that a number of European cities have trainsheds of one sort or another.
Thanks in advance,
Otis
