Warren, thank you so much for your reminiscences! I'm too young to have
seen any steam in revenue service, and there has never been a railroader in
my family until my youngest brother hired on with BN just as they were
becoming BNSF, so I really welcome your "rambling"!
The "flavor" of the branch line station is what I'm really after, so along
with Ken's more rigorous calculations I will go with the smaller tower.
This little shelf layout will (hopefully) become a branch station in a
larger layout someday.
Thanks again for your memories.
Randy
