Thanks, the station is Walthers City Station.





It's painted to resemble the CNW Union Depot in Mankato MN.

As always some fantastic modeling shown in here!

Been a few weeks since i had anything new even vaguely worth posting here. This week I finally got the lower staging area put in place and the tracks put in to service it. Ultimately there will be 4 staging tracks on the two shelves on this wall. Each will hold a good sized train....

Nice idea! It switches from a working, scenery-filled layout to a nice display area.

Recently completed mocked up portions of the Philadelphia & Scranton:

1st foto: North end of Reading yards, junction of passenger & freight lines
2nd foto: Schuykill Haven left side, Port Clinton right side
3rd foto: Looking toward Tower 60 area, Scranton(box in distance). Taylor/Dunsmore and CNJ Backtrack areas in the foreground.
4th foto: Scranton yards and passenger station platform area.

These are intended to give me a feel for what the actual track arrangements will be like, full HO scale. Also allow me to see how reach and clearances are.

Awesome job on the station. I recognized that as Mankato right away (drive by it almost everyday)
