My Lionel Grand Central Terminal arrived today 2/1/14! Just in time for me to take a few photos of it in its pre-planned spot on the layout. The layout was planned around the idea that it was going to be here for the holidays. So the real estate, although temporarily occupied, was waiting for its arrival.

Very nicely done Skip. This works very well on your Christmas layout. It is a shame that it has to come down on Monday.
You now have the big brother GCT as well as it's smaller cousin.
Very cool! Thanks for the photos.

Professor Scrappy,
The layout starts to come down this week 
as I've negotiated living room space only through Super Bowl Sunday.
But you're always invited to come over.

You'll see it detailed in our Dec. 2014 issue, Scrappy! Skip has already provided all the materials needed for a first-rate feature.
That looks great Skip!

The GCT looks terrific, and it really tops off your holiday scene!
Thanks guys! My friend Roger Farkash did a really great job on this building. It goes absolutely great with the Department 56 buildings.
Spence,
The lighting is consistent with the D56 style of lighting their buildings. However, I am probably going to try to give it a warmer, and more even glow. Not sure how yet, but I have the better part of 9 months to think about it. Off hand I'm thinking of soft white or amber colored LEDs would look great, but how to mount them? Perhaps even just swapping out the white bulb for clear yellow and figuring out a way of diffusing the light. Perhaps painting the front side of the bulb so you only get reflected light. Maybe some of the other forum members will come up with a suggestion.

Who did you order from? I ordered for lionel store and didn't get mine?
Received mine yesterday. (Tues.) The bottom hole isn't big enough to get the light bulb in but that's ok because I want to put LED's in. My question is how do I loosen the windows in order to do this?? Mine are really secured in there.
Disregard; got them loose.
Lets get more pics posted!
