Newsstand from the vendor, a little large
Newsstand reduced to 66% onto card stock. I think it looks more realistic. During the steam era one of these was close to every railway/commuter station and at least one in most down town areas. John

Smaller looks better. JohnA
But the guy behind the counter was usually full size and standing up.

Rattler 21, that’s a cool scene, great work. I love news stands. Is there a Playboy magazine for sale, if so, I’ll drop by. Thanks for posting. Have a great day..... Happy Railroading.
Though not a stand alone newsstand, my all time favorite remains the one that could be found inside Tampa Union Station. I discovered it right after my stepfather had moved us from Dallas, TX to Tampa, FL in 1959. As a matter of fact, I purchased my first 50 cent copy of Trains Magazine off of it. You could even grab a 10 cent ice cold fountain Coke (Reg.U.S.Pat.Off.) and 5 cent chocolate mint paddy from the nice lady who ran the counter.
As fate would have it, when I started delivering The Tampa Times after school, I discovered that she lived on my route! She didn't take the paper since she could read it during her break at work. However, this proves that it's indeed a small world afterall...sometimes anyhow.
