Hello all Trainzers,

I'm working on the SP coast division and am ready to plant some stations. That route was dotted with California mission style architecture, including several of the stations. I have tried to use the filters in the DLS without success. I guess I just can't get the hang of it. I either get hundreds of stations or one in Germany. :hehe:

Can anyone direct me to stations that look like these below? They need not be exact. I'll be happy with something vaguely similar with the same look and feel. They could be on the DLS, private sites, or even payware. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

There's one called Southwest Station that I use for that. 87907:260171
Colhad did a US Station (50587:81) which is typical of the California coastal areas. It's not active, but it goes well with some of the invisible stations. I used the AJS station kit, but the invisible low platform stations can be used, then the station building adjusted to the same height.
I think some of the Spanish stations can be used. Do a search for all the active stations on the DLS and see what looks good.

:cool: Claude

I believe Meridious made some Spanish style Depots also. Search the DLS for his username.

Cheers

Many thanks to both of you. I will follow up your leads as soon as I shake the sleep out of my eyes. :wave:

Claude and AJ, I didn't think of the Spanish material. Good call! It's amazing what you do not see when you are in the middle of the problem.
