Nice start. Rich ?? I bought two of S Scenery's resin depot kits years ago that had Reading as the prototype as I recall.? I wasn't aware of the Mount Blue or I would have gone that way, but then again most all small stations are similar.? I also built a Mini Structures 2 story station about that same time.? It's a SP prototype, even though Bill Banta cut some SOO line stations the actual difference are small.? And when built close to the tracks, there isn't much room for size differences 20 years later.? Unless I can clone my self 25 years earlier, they'll have to do!

As to the Pine Canyon gas station, I also built one.? Mine also spent years in storage. ?? One of the smaller cities West of here just off the I-10 freeway contains a version of it, so they do survive.? Mine is too large for the layout so I put it on one of our modules, problem with that is we don't have the ability to actually display it anymore.? I decorated mine for Phillips 66--I also made a boo-boo in it's construction but nobody will know!.?

Might have some photos someplace.? Those Pine Canyon kits were great and not that hard to build.? Modifications were a bit more difficult as it's hard to add or sever wall sections.?

As things appeared to have slowed down, I offer my latest projects for the G&MP.
?
The depot is a laser cut Mount Blue kit? based on a standard C.M. & St. P. design.?
?
Also in the works is an old Pine Canyon gas station that's been kicking around in storage.? I'm kinda alternating between the two projects, both are at the sub-assembly stage waiting for me to get up the enthusiasm for painting before final assembly.
