Waupaca
"Here
is a pinhole shot of the Waupaca depot which I kinda like. Depot is
scratchbuilt of 1/8 x 1/8 inch basswood strips, "chipped" to look like cut stone
with a pea-sized grinding stone in a Dremmel tool. Rain gutters are made from an
old lithography plate curled around a clothes hanger. I used a tiny chip of the
prototype stone I found on the platform to use as a color match for mixing the
paint. A drop of silver added the tiny sparkles you see in the prototype in the
sunlight. "
Dale Depot

The Dale depot is scratchbuilt of styrene from plans and photos that appeared in The Soo magazine. Mike Polsgrove made the colored signs in his computer and printed them out on glossy paper.
