1st. almost scratchbuilding project. Measurements?

1. A guess, on the three white doors pictured, would be 6'8" X 3',  not including the transom.   

2. You could use the door width to determine exterior building dimensions.

3. Ceiling height, tall end maybe 12 ft.

4. Ceiling height, short end 8' to 9'. 

5. Roof looks like a 12-12 pitch (45 degree), maybe more on the high end. 

6. Corrugated roof panels maybe 10ft x 30" .

7. Soffit low end, at least 3ft, about the same as the door width, already noted.

8. Soffit high end, is less.  18 " to 2 ft.

9. Another look at the height, might be the lap siding at 5" to 6". 

I like the building.  Metal roof can be acquired from Builders In Scale. Click to access.

This is Builders In Scale metal roof on the coal tipple.

That is a unique station. I would build it using styrene sheets and strips from Evergreen and window and door parts from Grandt Line.

If you take enough pictures and are able to get a few confirmed dimensions, you will be able to scale out the whole building.

Gentlemen, I'd like to Thank You for your information and suggestions. I'm grateful for your input.

I've been driving by this station since I was 5 years old. Seems a natural to try and model, although I'm not sure I have the talent for it.

I'm not sure if I'm going to model it as-is or as it was back when it was a busy terminal. I'm trying to determine what year the "high" addition was built. Same goes for the roofing. I have some size restraints on my layout that may determine how I proceed. If I can get one built that looks right, and may build the other version just to display. If I can get this right I may try and do the Cripple Creek station. Then I will need a bigger layout...

I've committed myself to building it with wood. It's easier for me to make wood look like wood then to make plastic look like wood. I'm a big fan of Bar Mills as well, so I'd like to give the "One" kit a try at this. Art at Bar Mills has been very helpful returning e-mails and phone calls after hours. Very pleasent and helpful to work with, and I plan on continuing that relationship. A good product and good customer support easily earns my business. Being a U.S. company doesn't hurt, either.

Again, Thank's for the response's.
