I have made a start on parts for the canopy and building that sits on the long island platform. Basically the original was a narrow set of waiting rooms covered by an overall roof and cantilevered canopy.

So, how to build it? Well, styrene would be my obvious choice since I have a silhouette cutter. Might be stiffer in brass, but that would probably mean a lot of custom etching or lots of soldering of brass strip. Like a lot of things in modelling you don’t know until you have tried, here is a first attempt at some cut out parts.

Since those trusses define the profile I used the silhouette to create the parts for an assembly jig as well.

Happy new year to everyone.
