Seaway Valley Model Railroaders

More progress on Brockville Station. It now has eavestroughs, downspouts and a waiting room sign! Exciting! We rarely realize when looking at a photo of a layout structure that something as simple as these additions represents about four hours of work! The gap under the station is about 0.5mm. It is barely noticeable in real life but it's HUGE in photos. The bottom of the station is a bit warped at this corner. Station #2 (with the wrong windows) was dead straight. Oh well... - if anyone has any ideas on how to fix this - short of putting the whole station on the bench sander - let me know! #hoscale #modelrailroad #brockville #modelrailroadlayout #rapidotrains
