At the tail end of my train this Friday are New York Central cabooses #19877 and #380 – pulled by Brooklyn Eastern District Terminal 0-6-0T #15 on the O-36 inner loop which runs through a narrow rock cut on my 12’-by-8’ layout. The cabooses were made by MTH.

When I built the layout, the inner part was open for access but I didn’t like the way it looked, so I filled it in and added a truss bridge, hills, and the O-36 inner loop. The rock cut was made to look like the cut on the Hudson Line of the New York Central Railroad just south of the Spuyten Duyvil station. Does anyone see a resemblance?

Who makes the Station , I like it.

Jim,

I built that station more than a decade ago from a wood laser kit and I don't remember who made it. It is almost identical to a standard C&O station but the kit was marketed as being some other railroad's station. I haven't seen another for sale in years. Here's a couple of better views:
