Convention Raffle HO-scale LS&MS Depot Raffle (NYCSHS Members Only)

Photos and plans of these stations, originally erected from 1890 to 1910 (with some still in use), reveal three major size variations in this architectural style.  The placement of windows and doors sometimes varied within each size.  Covered porticoes and alternative operator’s bay arrangements were also noted.  The basis of this kit will is the largest size variation, but Seth produced a modified LS&MS station from the kit. Overall length has been shortened.

 

Given that brick stations were erected in larger commercial centers, their footprints and construction costs were larger than most, and this kit will reflect that.  Hence, before tooling up another model, we are trying to assess your interest.

The N-Scale architect is offered a laser-cut HO model that includes the roof dormers, operator’s bay, and walls with decorative brick and stone courses.

The stonework is custom 3D printed "castings", while the brick courses are laser-cut into the sides.  The resulting 3D walls will readily accept washes for brick and stone color, mortar lines, and weathering.

A trimmed down two-bay building is 10" x 3".
