"Ever since the weather got really cold, I've been working on a new RR station. I designed it based on a local station that's been turned into a small shop. I added an extra gable over the ticket windows and extended the windows out a bit. I've poured a separate foundation with in-laid stone for the walkway and loading platform...I lost count of the various pours I've made...just finished the last one for the short gable above the ticket window. Instead of waiting until it's finished, I'd thought I'd send you some pictures in progress.
Its all out of cement except the wood trim. The roofline was a bit tricky with the extra gable. Your book and detailed directions were quite helpful...especially the advanced instructions at the end. I called it Markley Station in honor of this little 8 year old boy who's summer home is 4 doors down from my garden RR. Markley is this wonderful, round-faced, red-headed, freckled kid who cuts a path all his own."

I finished Markley Station a few weeks ago. It's all cement except the wood trim & shakes. Added several light fixtures and some copper ridge trim.
It should be out in the garden this summer. Next up is a country church. JB
