Batavia Train Station Model

That certainly is a beautiful model! Thank you so much for sharing it with us. I grew up in that area but left in 1978 when I join the army. Earlier this century I was back home visiting and saw the bridge with N&W on it. That reminded me that there was a train station in Batavia. My wife and I started driving around and asking people where it was. Several people directed me in several different directions and led me to believe it was still there because they said it was still there. Well, it was not anywhere to be found and now I know what that station looked like! Thanks again!

Sent from my smart phone cuzz I’m just high tech like that, know what I mean?

Jim Detty replied and provided some pictures that were taken just before the station was torn down. Thanks for your help Jim. Later my dad also found some slides he had taken of the station. I used the gathered information to model the station in HO scale. Here are some pictures of the completed model, which was kit bashed using 2 Walthers Pella station models. Of course the actual station was on a pretty steep embankment and my model is built for a flat site, but that is modeler's license as they say!
