Dave,

I can excavate...  Getting the base level might be a challenge, though.  The station sits on one layer of Woodland Scenics trackbed over 2" of foam.

I'd really like to keep the baggage section...  Can we graft it?  Looking at the pic if I could gain maybe a quarter inch all would be well.

I can also rotate the baggage section 90 degrees, so it's long side is parallel to that of the station, then sneak it a bit closer. This may buy a little more than the 1/4 inch you need.

At this point, though, you'll have to look at how to address road access.

Sent you an email with a link to pics that will make things clearer.

The road doesn't actually cross at Lewistown station so when I replace the track and get those retailers out, it will be a parking lot.

I've decided I'm going to do my best to salvage the factory.  Slow going, but shaving off paint and clamping joints will hopefully help.  It seems strange to look at my layout and see an unfinished scene what with it having been complete for the last 6 years.  Most of my improvements to the original section since then have been 1-2 day projects.

Dave... I have a gluded together (with Tenax7R) American Hardware supply if you want it. Its unpainted, and is not going to fit on the new layout.

Its yours for only shipping $.

Low-quality progress shot...  Was off of work today to ride out Hurricane Isaac.

That is looking awesome Dave.  A few more details and that is really going to be a fine scene, worthy of the switch.
