>>SOON...Penn Station from TrainWorx<<

Outstanding! Can't wait to see it next month at York.

Love it!!!

We are going to have to expand

Expansion is a good thing! Naw...make that GREAT thing

Was just in Penn Station yesterday, unfortunately it does not look like that anymore.  Can't believe they tore that down, how short sighted.  Sure wish I could get one of those stations, it would be my entire layout!!

Train Dame....put my order in for one....Yes, really!!  Can't you supply the dimensions so that I can make plans??

Thanks,

Alan

still waiting for a DL&W Scranton station...

A work of art. Just beautiful. Put me down for one. When and how can we order? I agree with leavingtracks. A foot print would be nice.

Mark

OMG!  I may have to break a wall this time.  That is outstanding!  BigRail

Another beautiful station.

Absolutely stunning.

Good Day Dorcie and Roger,

The station looks fantastic! 

Thanks for all the positive feedback!

Like I said...these are "behind the scenes" process shots and I'll be posting more information on a unique website that will include all Pennsy Station information! Bottom line, it's going to be even cooler than what you see here! 

However, Alan - I will put you down for Pennsy Station #1 and Mark - I will put you down for Pennsy Station #2

Here are the dimensions:

42 ¾” Wide, 12 ½” Deep, 17 ¼” High

Start making room

Happy Tracks!

I love your new Penn station. I will have to bring some measurements to your booth at York, see ya there. I hope it works where I wont to put it.

Heyyy what the hey  I thought Roger said I was Pennsy station #1

Train Dame,

The Pennsylvania Train Station is beautiful.

This beauty picks up, where it left off in Manhattan.

A shame, another Land Mark railroad station was torn down!

Now, we can have a beautiful copy of our own.

Thank you, for posting,

Ralph-RJL

Let the drama begin...

Ben, maybe you should talk to Roger...quickly and start expanding immediately

Dorcie,

I think you've heard this comment before from a very well-known personality regarding another TrainWorx project recently, but it applies equally here... "It's a Masterpiece!".  

Please put me on the pre-orderlist, somewhere down there in the single-digit serial  numbers!!!  

David

Wheeeeeeee! Thank YOU David - you will be #3!

Very, very nice and appealing to those of us interested in the historical aspects of railroading, which probably includes most of us on this forum.  Sadly, this station met its demise to the wrecking ball but inspired a historical preservation movement.  If there was only one building that could be brought back, one might think this one would top the list of those interested in railroading history.

Roger promised I would be first.

I want one and I want it NOW.

My mother said.

Train Dame...I have no problem being number 2.....!!

Thanks,

Alan

Here is a suggestion. One of the next stations has to be the Great Northern Station that was in Minneapolis, Minnesota, until it was demolished by the BN in 1978.

Andrew

Penn Station looks terrific! I have your Grand Central Terminal and enjoy it very much,  The crime of the century perhaps, when they tore that down. Fred

Train Dame,

And I'm ok with #3. Shouldn't we get some kind of written guarantee  Thank you for another outstanding station. (still in the works).

Mark

Sorry, but it just doesn't look enough like Penn Station too me. Penn station was lower & wider. If someone showed me that model, & said what station is this, I wouldn't have guess it. For one thing, the clock is way to big.

Dorcie, Roger has REALLY DONE A GREAT JOB on this unit. Keep up the GREAT WORK.

You take an electrical cord and plug it into the wall, then turn on your AC transformer hooked to all THREE rails, and your fake steam comes out of the stack and the RF sound systems makes chuffing noices, but the CLOCK IS TOO BIG!  Please someone tell me that magnificent station is NOT what this poster is posting about! Russ

Train Dame...I re-read your opening post...."Phase 1"....  Could you explain.  The reason why I ask is that in a couple of the pictures it looks like the station is wider than the 12.5" dimension you gave as in picture #1.  In pictures 2 and 3 it appears only half of the upper part of the station is present...almost as it if would go flat against a wall.  So....can you enlighten us???  Are there more Phases / additions??

Thanks,

#2...I mean, Alan

 ChiloquinRuss..........I didn't say it wasn't a magnificent piece, I just said it doesn't look enough like Penn Station.

OMG!!! This hobby just gets better all the time. What an awesome station.

It wouldn't surprise me if there's more to come.  But actually, I LIKE the fact that this particular offering is only 12" deep.  And if used simply as-is, it can be placed against a painted cityscape backdrop which could provide additional depth perspective.  Sure to be an eye-catcher!

Love it, Dorcie.  Can't wait to see the model on display at York! 

David

Excellent response Russ! I'm one of those stinkin' rivet countin' 2 railers, and it looks pretty darn good to me!

Simon

 we will also be debuting ANOTHER station at YORK!! Yep - the Albuquerque Station... More "inside" information I'm sharing with all my forum friends -->We're having some fun now!!!!

Is this the one?

Now that is a cool picture. I hope it rreally does look like this picture.....Dorcie?????????

I haven't even seen the drawings on it yet - but it is the Albuquerque station and I believe this picture is from the 40's and the one we'll be doing is from the 50's. Basically the tower structure won't resemble the one in the picture. I am not the "station" expert but what I understand is there was damage to the tower in the 50's and in the 90's it actually burned down. 

I'll post pics once we start it - stay tuned forum friends .

Dorcie, Thanks for the feedback. I will post below some of the current Intermodal Station located there. They are cool designs with the arches and tile roof and wooden stuff.

The larger BW pic is circa 1947, the smaller pic is circa 1930, the previous color photo I believe was the original station built in the early 1900's. You can see the changes in the towers through the years getting shorter. Im sure it will be a fantastic model which ever one you decide to do. 

Another Masterpiece!  And another miraculous survival from the darkest days -- luckily Scranton didn't have a lot of money to tear things down.
