Looks like a bunch of brick structures and a lot of kitbashing.

Yeah, I'm most daunted by the depot because of the mix of brick patterns.  I think the freight house will be plaster castings.  The difficulty of the tower lies solely on whether I use pre-made windows and doors.

I can make a foobie station from the Pella depot like Dave did.  Give it a new roof with no overhang, square of the bay and add a bit for the baggage area and I can live with that for a while.

I'll still be hitting you up for an etch of the train order semiphore.  I'll draw it into CAD when I get a chance.

Funny I was just playing with a train order I made a few years ago:

Transplanting it to another station.

If you are worried about making a layout you can always work on the structures. One day they will all be done and you can whip up a layout in no time.

It looks like the first turnout after the tower is a wye?

Yeah, if you look at the original track charts you'll the double track main all the way from the river through the yard. 



At some point there was a realignment that I think created the wye track.
