I would like to see a wooden model made by one of the masters. That should be extreme beautiful.

And...rather long !! I'm rough guessing that that depot measures ( Approx. ) 200' X 57' ( platform --- the far end in the picture may be wider, it's hard to tell )
The model in HO would be approx. 27-1/2" X 7 - 3/4". Selectively compressed, it could still be a very interesting structure, anywhere on a layout ------- I am tempted, I need to find a place, and then see if it can be designed to fit, and still have the same "character".

It's a standard SP design, not sure exactly which. There are laser kits for at least one such, probably smaller than that one, looking much the same but maybe more layout friendly. American Model Builders I think has one like it.
