Modeling Springfield


"The Model Craftsman" magazine December, 1947 Warren Carter

This is a  LDE (Layout Design Element) for the Springfield Station area. It provides a basis to model an area and incorporate the main features of interest. These can be standalone or connected to other LDEs as space, time and cost dictate. Each shelf element would be approx. 30" deep by 96" in length.
