Which is such a facile argument. Modules mean MORE space for BIGGER industries.

Those backdrops are something else!
Here are a couple I've done trying to make something big enough to justify rail shipments

I know!

The cool part is that the backdrops only have the clouds on them. All of the color comes from the overhead lighting.

Here they are at work on another set of his modules.

I had one available on Shapeways before it's demise.

N Scale Laser has produced one from my drawings, hopefully I will see Hannah this weekend as it is advertised as available but no picture.

Couple of quick pictures I have just taken as I have a module planned for it.

Oh my Goodness, the thread drifted back to it's original topic!!!

And on that note, reading through the list on the Wikipedia page I realize that I have been in several of them, including Albany-Rensselaer, Tacoma, and Dearborn.   I found them all to be dreary and characterless.

I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that.

Oh damn!

I'm assuming you still have the files. It'd be amazing if the station were available again.

Why not grab the Walthers HO version and use it to design one in TinkerCad and print it?

Oh damn!

I may have time next week to see how it prints, I may have to break it up into parts,

Good luck Ed, I was told by a Walthers Rep at Amherst when I asked why don't we get the cool industrial kits and such that "N doesn't sell, you guys don't build layouts, just modules". All we get is windmills and outhouses,

Yeah thats why Walthers is selling out of the N scale products Atlas is making from the ex Walthers Tooling.
It turns out you can get black confetti in the shape of d'cks...
