I started working on St-Sacrement station yesterday and today. The structure is a bash of DPM taxi cab and Cutting Co buildings. It was a kitbash I started last year for an ill-fated small layout.

The structure looks a lot like Farnham ex-CPR station (now located on MMA). The original building is a 1949-1950 International style structure quite similar to the DMP building. The two-storey part represent offices and freight station. The one-storey part is the maintenance crew space with a large door for a speeder.





First, I had to complete the basement section. I used plain styrene sheets to represent a concrete foundation. DPM modular parts were fitted to complete the cornice of the one storey shed. The door was extended to the ground, it will be used to store the speeder.





Then, I laminated 2 sheets of 1.5mm styrene together to make the marquese. Evergreen corrugated roof material was sliced and glued to mimick a classic metal flashing found on those old modern buildings. Horizontal window mullions are made out of heavy paper. I followed the prototype and feel it will help to forget, a little bit, the generic DPM look. Various electric appliances were added, make of Plastruct circular shapes and bits of styrene.

Downspouts were added with brass wire brackets to hide the seams between different brick parts.







And then I found out my can of white primer was empty... So no paint for a while, unfortunately.
