My BOTW is this HO building by Marx. It came with lighting powered by batteries inside with a switch on the roof. I think it would make a good Amshack.

Cool building! That does look like one of those amtrak "stations". In Houston, where I live, they had 2 grand stations, one of which was demolished and the other was turned into a baseball stadium. Then they replaced the great old stations with a tiny concrete shelter. Not that those amtrak shelters lack character, but it still beats me why anyone would tear down a historic building that could be repurposed if not still used as a station. But of course they are also planning to tear down the historic astrodome as well, so that shows how much foresight whoever makes these decisions has.

You're right! Some Pola buildings do reuse parts (like the Speedy Andrew's Repair Shop/Ma's Place thing.)
I'm actually considering getting the TYCO Machine Shop for my layout!

Wiley, the Tyco Machine Shop is a nice kit, and looks even better with some detail around it...

there is always something I have wondered about that machine shop,,what does it make ?

It must be small enough that Everything must fit thru that small-ish front door.

Life-Like car wash building kit. I will assemble it some time this weekend. I know Atlas now offers it, but I went with this one because it was a cheaper price :D
