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

not to build the partially attached gift shop, which causes the roof to
become a hollow triangle. 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.

remind me of how train clubs try to standardize module size and layout of track
for uniformity and interconnection. The rounded roof of the main building is
probably my favorite feature, especially with the two chimneys.
Bravo!
