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.

Wow, I am suprised and honored!  Glad my design could provide helpful

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 overhang 2 of the studs and the roof slopes extend an
extra stud beyond that.  You can see it in this pic...

Also, except for the 2-wide arches on the tower, all of the arches on mine
are the 2 piece 8-wide arches.

I would love to see more pics!

(...) 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 (...) (22 years ago, 14-Jan-03, to lugnet.org.us.lucny, lugnet.trains)
