Antonito Station - CNC

Wow, I'm impressed with what you have so far, can't wait to see the progression on this!

Suggestion, the station is O Scale 1:48 (1/4 inch to the ft), regardless of the track gauge which in this case is approximately 30 inches.     The station would stay the same size if the track gauge were 36 inches or 4 ft 8 1/2 inches.

Yeah, I had the same reaction and this is a common thing you see online anymore, but I didn't bring it up.

I referenced the structure as ON30 so as to not be confused with 2 rail, 3 rail, tinplate, etc.   It is truly 1/48 scale.  The basalt blocks on the original building are much larger than o scale bricks.  Reference the size of the basalt blocks compared to the man door.  5 blocks for a 6 1/2 foot door.  The blocks are very big.  More than 1/4 inch (1/4 inch to the foot), compared to 1/16 inch scale brick (3 inch norm).  Russ

I have done O scale brick work in the past, the Antonito station is different.  IE here is the brick oil house at Chama, and a brick roundhouse I have done.
