by Peter Another view of the baggage end. The paint scheme is loosely based on Ben King's original Timber City station. I had to custom-mix the cream as Floquil no longer makes that colour. (Antique White with a bit of Reefer Yellow) The trim is Tuscan and the wainscot and gables are Pullman Green.
