Yes, Chris is right.  His police station WAS at the recent GATS show.  I
liked his building so much I copied it almost 100 percent.  Actually, I think
his had windows on three sides while my version only had two facades.

Our train station is also taken from MichLug's Livonia show.  We needed a train
station and I had no ideas of my own.  Using just two pictures of David
Kohrman's train station I copied it in under three days.  The hardest part
for me was getting the building's footprint correct.  My version of this
station is about 90 percent identical to David Kohrman's.  I used half-arches
over the windows, for example, and I think he used full arch bricks at least in
a few places.  The roof is slightly different, too, as I went all the way to
the apex in all places where David did not.

Additional pics will be available here pending moderation -->

(...) inspiration. I like your version! I like how the roof goes higher then mine. I am curious how you executed the overhang? I can't really tell in the pics but it looks like your roof overhangs 2 studs? In mine I overhanged 3 studs, brown plates (...) (21 years ago, 16-Jan-03, to lugnet.org.us.lucny, lugnet.trains)
