Jims Wintertime Challange

I know I'll be doing more than one this winter, so this is my first one.
I will be modeling this one out of the box, no bashing as I like the looks of it. It is the newer Atlas Maywood station.

The biggest difference is the color which is my road colors of Pullman Green and Reefer yellow. I always paint first as seen in the picture, touch up can always be done when finished if you mess up as I do.

I think I know about where I want it on the layout as I plan on a few stations. It may be on the next section where the spurs join (the section I am working on now) the double main line. No name for it yet so I am open on that.

Here's a few working shots:

Nice work!

What's that white background with the lines and writing on them Jim?

Jim, this is going to be great as I have ordered mine in HO. Saw the article and knew this was the prefect station for NORR shodan

OK, there for a min I thunk they were instructions. Mad

Instructions...what are those??? My wife keeps trying to tell me about them but everytime she does it sounds like a forieng language that goes BLAH BLAH BLAH. I can say that cause she don't read this forum Laughing

Instructions are for the weak who don't know how to correct a collosal screw up!

This is the start of the next building. I am using bad sections of walls I have cast, rather than throwing them out, to make a run down warehouse (I hope) If it don't work nothing is lost.

Itâ€™s going to be interesting to see what you do with this one, Brother Jim!
