  I had mentioned Russell's Ft Worth T&P Station a couple of years ago...
He has expanded his line, with the crown jewel being his ATSF San Bernandino Depot.
Russell displayed his wares at our T-TRAK media table at the National Train Show in Kansas City last August, where they quickly caught the attention of the Model Railroader staff. They immediately snatched the samples over to their photo booth so they could announce these products!
  Check out his product line. These kits assemble like a dream-the parts are precisely cut and the fit is perfect. (I've built the Tower 55, Albuquerque depot (he also provides the truncated tower and dome as the depot appeared in my 1957 modeled era), and am currently building the Glorieta Depot.

Here are photos of his 'built up' samples...

I like the looks of that Oil Well Supply Co. flat, but didn't see it on the website.

But the baggage carts will come in handy! Thanks for the heads-up.

I'm hoping he comes out with his Espee and MoPac passenger car sides again.

that San Bernardino Station may knock the N Scale Architect Worcester Union Station off as largest station kit in the scale. Very cool.

Anyone know the story of the bridge in the background? It reminds me a bit of the Broadway bridge over the LA river.

The bridge in the background is a T-TRAK double 'module'...Russell developed it as a filler piece, and can be custom cut to contain a logo. It is the exact length and height of a T-TRAK double and even has the mounting holes for T-nuts and leveling bolts underneath. The link posted above shows my build of the initial offering. Of course it can be used as a regular art deco concrete bridge for any model railroad application...










This is the market street viaduct/bridge...

That bridge doesn't seem to be clickable on his website.  No longer available?
