Beautiful work, Kurt. I think your modeling illustrates the point that everything is part of the model. How often do we model a locomotive or a piece of rolling stock down to the last detail from prototype photos, and then we use generic scenery materials, and out of the box generic structures on the layout. We end up wondering why it just doesn't look quite right. You took the time to model the structures from the prototype and to model the scenery details from prototype pictures and as a result, anyone familiar with the prototype location can look at it and say "I know where that is!"
