Fantastic build! Modeling from old photos is great!

Thanks, Scott. Yes indeed. Something about that photo just grabbed me. And it's not the first time. Ha ha.

Another great video. Thanks, Greg!!!

[@CassidysWorkshop]

Thanks, Alan, appreciate you watching.

Absolutely fantastic work, Greg! I *love* your attention to detail - that pile of bricks looks awesome.

[@CassidysWorkshop]

Thanks, I truly appreciate it. The brick pile was frustrating but came out better than I expected, I'm planning to do something that I might be happier with...or not. Haha.

[@rwissbaum9849]

Don't forget to surround it with static grass...

Awesome structure

[@CassidysWorkshop]

Thank you, Colin. I love some of the rail videos you've collected, there.

[@FBMRR]

seriously man. your attention to detail and the photography work is amazing.. I cant even remember to turn the camera on sometimes, LOL. great job.

[@CassidysWorkshop]

Ha ha, thanks a lot, Rick. I mostly take the photos so I know how I did something. Then I can replicate it again later if I want. But sometimes I forget, too. I'll look at something I made where the stain came out just right, go back to see how I did it, and...Oh Man! I forgot to shoot it. 😆

Two layers…clever!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@CassidysWorkshop]

I thought it would be neat. But I should have just used the 1/32 on that end wall and used 1/16 everywhere else. Those walls are thin! LOL

[@lynnmccurdythehdmmrc2561]

If indeed a freight car ran into the building, and that looks like what happened. Bet that was rather exciting for anyone that might have been inside. Great work. Thanks for sharing.

[@CassidysWorkshop]

I'll bet! Maybe someday I'll find more info on it. Thanks.

Looks cool 🏠

[@CassidysWorkshop]

Thank you, and thanks for watching. Neat stuff you do over there on your channel.

fantastic work, man this was a flash back for me, to make a long story short I retired about 18 months ago, before then an Amish guy, one of his boys and I took on a project on a train station very similar to yours but ours had a roof covered front door no deck, tracks where never laid but the stations at both ends where built Upper Marlboro MD ? to Popes Creek Md. Nice work Thank You

[@CassidysWorkshop]

Thanks, and very cool. I was at a Potomac Division clinic last year in Waldorf about the Pope's Creek Branch. Learned a lot about So. MD railroads. Lots of neat stuff down there.

@@CassidysWorkshop really small world, I've heard some talk that one of the three waterfront restaurants sold and something about a large park area coming.

[@CassidysWorkshop]

@@SleeperBBQ That would be nice. Worth a trip.
