Based on the Plaster Creek Tower at Wyoming Yard in Grand Rapids, Michigan, this is where switching moves are coordinated and paperwork is processed for every train in and out — a perfect finishing touch for yards set anywhere from the 1970s to today. Detailed brick walls and separately applied windows, doors, and details give it a convincingly modern railroad look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eLooking for more HO Scale building kits?
