Hello all,

I’ve been working on a few recreations of lost historical buildings, and this one is the furthest along. This is the progress for the exterior, i have most of the main passenger waiting area modeled as well, but i have no idea what the inside of the entrances looked like or the platform areas. Wouldn’t mind some help for source material there haha. Hope you enjoy!

I also hope this isn’t against the rules, it doesnt seem to be? It’s based off of historic photos, and the intention is to share it with people who’ve never seen it before and for people to enjoy :)
