Hence the name. ;) I'm wondering, I don't see "Hardwick" on the mileage chart; a new station ?


The depot I modeled was based on a picture of the one in Hardwick, MN built by the Burlington, Cedar Rapids and Northern Railway, which became part of the CRI&P.
I just stuck with the name when I built the depot.
It's currently at Valley Falls, but I like the name so I may change it to Hardwick.

I think it looks about 10% too big.

What a great subject to model! As for size, it seems right to me, judging by the automobiles parked outside.

It's 7' 6 7/16". Give or take. So it needs to be reduced down to .9231 to be at 7'.

Better.
I texture stuff at 1/2 in. per pixel when I can.
I like human scale stuff so it works.
