My BOTW is "Amanda Station", a repaint of Hallmark's "Sarah Plain and Tall" Depot. I also added part of the Plasticville depot on the opposite side of the tracks.
This is all located on my original unfinished HO layout that will be coming down soon.

Amanda Station looks great Jerry. I really like the way the platforms continue across both tracks; makes it interesting to envision all the activity that can go on there. Great poses on the people you've got waiting around.

Ouch! Coming down? Hope a new version is in the offing! Lovely fiber tie brass track: has a sepia vintage look.
Makes me want to build things.

Dating to 1987, this is a model of our little train club in the Far West. Taken at the El Paso Model Train Club, artist unknown.

We are planning on moving out of this house in about 6-7 months and retiring to Texas. It was the first layout I attempted to build on my own - learned a lot doing it but it's too big and heavy...lots of mistakes and too many do-overs to do
So yes, needs to be taken down. Will salvage all the track.
I still have my other layout on foam that I will take down there intact and store, then try to incorporate it into a larger layout in time.

This house with garage kit by AHM may be for sale soon... This is one kit that doesn't represent anything about my ideas on the layout. Plus, I'm not sure I will have room for all of the homes I have collected...

While I was looking for cars in my basement & trying to put away my upteen locos at the same time
I took a pic of buildings, accesories & cars on the stairs

So here is a famous station in ceramic I plan on using with my layout


Found at a garage sale for $1!
Now I gotta find the SF&D cars & locos for it hehe
