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.
