I found out recently that a train station on my mainline was still standing in White Haven, PA in 1976 (my modeling date). I found a couple of pictures of the station on https://www.west2k.com/papix/whitehaven.jpg. I figured it was a simple enough building to scratchbuild and/or kitbash. I purchased a sheet of HO Scale Lucky and Knotts Siding and armed with a lot of detail parts from kits like The Cannery, The small Chicago House, Cream City Tool Works Building A, The Small Steel Mill Building, etc., I finished it this weekend. Details on the construction can be found here: https://morristhemoosetm.wixsite.com/rainbows/post/and-back-we-go-to-white-haven
Wow! Some really great work here! It's a beautiful station with plenty of character. I also liked the links form that page to see your other postings. I especially liked the along-the-way photos of how you did the foreground rock cut area. It looks fantastic! Thanks for posting your progress. I'm still building benchwork and laying track. Scenery will start in about a year.
Thanks Tom! The station's a great example of the inherent advantage of Clever's kits or even the textures - you can print out bits and pieces to make many more models and once you've purchased the files, you can make as many structures as you want in any scale.
Good luck on your own scenery journey - feel free to learn from my mistakes and successes along the way.
