Thanks for the kind words, guys.
Well- it's supposed to look like canvas, but it's actually made from brass shimstock - .003" thick, I think. There's support frames holding them up, formed from Tichy's phosphor-bronze wire.
I recently learned that the 8414 shouldn't use the far track passing in front of the Dunnville station, as the awnings hit the edge of the roof over the recently installed platforms.
