Hello,
I have posted two pictures (more to come....hopefully better quality) of my
latest Fire Station/Block. This station was inspired by the station on West
161st Street in Manhattan.

I have decided to name this station "Ross Neal Station". A few months ago
John Neal posted some pictures of a train bridge that his son Ross built,
that used bricks underneath the arches as 'stones'. I have used that
technique here (with log bricks) and quite honestly, this station wouldn't
have been built without me first seeing Ross's bridge. Thanks for the
inspiration Ross!
Another interesting technique I used are tiles facing out. The entire street
level facade is SNOT with tan 1x1 & 1x2 tiles facing outward. I really like
the way it came out.
The other two buildings in the pictures were inspired by the Ashcan
discussions here in .town.
The quality of the photo's I usually post are bad, but for some reason these
came out even worse than usual. I will try to get better images up soon.
Thanks again.
Jonathan
