now it is looking like an urban commuter station at a sleepy sunday or an bank holiday.
But we are keyed up how it will be looks alike at the rush hour. Imagine how hundreds of dashing commuters crowding the platforms in haste ...

Thanks, Lutz, but I think that the crowds may have to wait, at least until I get the track ballasted...there's about 30' of it to be done.

Yeah, work on those two locos has been started, but I was sidetracked by other projects...not just the station platforms, but a couple of other locomotives for a friend.
One was a damaged and poorly-painted brass locomotive, while the other is a Tyco/Mantua Pacific, which I've modified into a Hudson. I still need to install a decoder in it, plus a bunch of other hardware, as he's decided that it's going to become a so-called "dead-rail" loco.... battery-powered, and controlled remotely with a wireless handheld DCC throttle.
It's turned into a rather expensive experiment (for him) and I was surprised that he was interested, as he's long been anti-DCC. His layout is currently all DC, and he just wanted to try a locomotive that didn't need clean track in order to run reliably.
