Anyone want to tackle this, I'm going to be building this route, I finally got google maps to work and I'm ready to go, So if anyone is willing, well if anyone has time these days, with family, work and what not, I understand.

French Lick, Indiana! Never been there personally, but the Army sent me to Uncle Ben's Rest Home for a year and I've never forgotten this gem: "You have to love Indiana: North Platte is in the south, South Bend is in the north, and French Lick isn't nearly as much fun as it sounds."

Have to admit, though, that's a nice looking station. Hope you find someone skillful to build it for your route.

Stange architecture. It looks as if two 3D models were put in the same space.

Yea the only thing to do in French Lick is to Gamble or ride the "not so scenic railway" but It has very nice tunnel and its pitch black, and the engineer blows your ear out when he honks in the tunnel. !**duh*!!

Models? Looks like those are photos of the real station, not models.

I believe he is talking about the roof line in the station.

Yes. It's not really ugly, they just don't fit.
It makes for a distinctive building for sure.
