What a neat technique! Can you see the underside of the tiles that (...) (23 years ago, 18-Mar-02, to lugnet.town, lugnet.trains, lugnet.loc.us.ks, lugnet.loc.us.mo.kan)

| Hi Mark, absolutly stunning! Probably the greatest MOC of 2002? I really love this station, even if it is located in the US, my Riviera Express is looking for a stop at this fantastic station ;-) The SNOT roof is suberb build, thanks for the details (...)

| (...) Thanks for the comments! I posted some pictures in a construction folder that should give a good idea on how to build the roofs.

IIRC the KC US is still standing, not too far away from Crown Center, and is now a museum. The real station is kind of at a (...)
