This is a project that Walter Vail of Showcase Miniatures and Thomas Yorke collaborated on, whimsical and loaded with fun.   I think it is very cool and I hope you like it.

I can't really use western stuff like that, but it woudl be great to see other Tom Yorke buildings in N scale.

What would be even better is if Showcase or some other outfit bought rights to do C.C. Crow stuff in N-scale.

I bet that won't ever happen, unfortunately.

It wouldn't necessarily have to go on a southwest themed layout. That style has inspired all kinds of buildings all over the country. One in particular is an old gas nation in central Iowa that looks strikingly similar to this station.

And you could adapt it as a small Spanish or Portuguese station . . . .

It looks kinda like a Baltimore public relief station.

Or any storefront, curb, car, bench, etc. in Fells Point.
