Recognize this station?

[motofavorite]

1 bumped into this photo of a model station a while back. Now I'd like to learn more about it but I have had no luck with the usual reverse image searches. The track appears to me to be PECO N scale code 55. I am hoping that someone here will know more about it. Thanks.

Looks laser cut and maybe a one off?

Definitely not a plastic kit.  I'm going with laser cut, too, but not one I've seen before.

And for some reason it looks N&W-ish to me.  Maybe because it's a classical design but has more modernish additions?

The station building looks like a combination of the Walters Union Station kit and DPM wall segments, as do all the trackside loading doors. The ramps to the platform though may be scratchbuilt.

Thanks, everyone!

After looking at the turnout in the photo I'm not sure what to think. the throwbar area does look like N scale Peco switch, but in all the Peco switches I have worked with the points are hinged to the closure rail using a rail joiner, where these turnouts have a more complex hinge mechanism (similar to Atlas C55).

If the stone part is Walthers Union Terminal, it is heavily kitbashed.

I've no idea what vintage of Peco switches you've got but every one I've ever seen has some sort of hinge connecting the point rails. I've never seen one constructed with rail joiners. At least all the ones I've actually worked with were of recent stock (only insul-frogs though).

IIRC = there were several articles in the past on how to modifiy the electrofrog turnouts to be DCC friendly -- there appears to be a wire soldered to the center rail .. so this may be one of those mods. ..

Here are the Peco turnouts I'm familiar with.  Yes, they are older (on a layout built over 20 years ago).  They all have points made from formed sheet metal (not solid nickel-silver rail, and the points pivot on what looks like a rail joiner.  Here are some photos of different turnouts on that layout (both insul- and electro-frog).  That's why I was confused by the point pivots shown on the station photo.  I didn't realize that Peco redesigned that part of the turnouts.

Looks similar to the platform ramps at Broad Street in Richmond (now the science museum)

Google street view has a very crappy picture of the steamer on display there. What is it?

It's definitely a model of Canadian National's Hamilton, Ontario station.

Probably on the Windsor, ON club layout:

Winner, winner, chicken dinner! Thank you for identifying the station!
