After a few years and two track plans I’m going to declare my passenger platforms completed. Here they are from start to finish in a boatload of images.
My original configuration had Dead-end tracks and elevated platforms. At this point I am a year or so into the project and I can no longer stand the close ended tracks in the terminal area and I had acquired a post war Marx metal truss bridge I wanted to incorporate into the upper level. I was not happy with my platforms or the mammoth cave looking tunnel portal or the fact that I couldn’t reverse the direction my trains were traveling in so all of these annoyances got changed when I reconfigured the track Here is the revised upper level track plan and it has remained the same ever since.
Here is the plan for the roof beam construction.
I have two covered platforms for passengers a service platform between the passenger platforms and there is also a Railway Express platform to the far left that I will finish out after I build my station.
