A Small Town That Could Be Anywhere

Thanks JWB, very interesting link and a useful one too.

Today I painted the fascia and the styrofoam with a brown base color (except for road and track (need to keep my center lines). The layout in now in the "train" room.







I also experimented with structures, trying to determine which kind of station would fit the best the space requirement. I tried with the real St. Vallier Station, but it is far too big. About the same size as Atlas station but twice the height! Not very good to operate the siding behind it.

I finally proto-freelanced something inspired by Grand Trunk practices. Rather generic, but feels at home. I'll be using the same technic shown here with cereal boxes for siding. Works great so far, lots of place around it for the Station Road and also a freight shed included.
