Well, I took the parts out of the kit and wow, it's a lot more complicated that I thought. :o There must be a few thousand tiny parts to glue together. :? Building it just may keep me out of trouble for the whole summer. 
Anyway, here is a photo of the kit parts and basically what I intend to do with them. I will not make any changes to the basic structure, I've got too much respect for this style of depot to do that. The plans say, "molded in authentic colors", but I'm not sure that there were any of these depots build that had a shiny plastic look to them,
so I will paint everything, even if the colors are close to what Wathers used. There is an option to make the freight house separate, but from my memory of the ones I've seen, I'm going to keep it attached to the depot.
