My MOC inspired by the Texas State Railroad’s Palestine Depot. Along with its’ locomotives, the two depots on either end of the Texas State Railroad - one in Palestine, the other in Rusk, are memorable in their own right. For me, I find the Palestine Depot to be more beautiful.

There are many other subtle and not so subtle differences, but I believe I’ve been able to capture the overall spirit of the building.
