Main Street, Ottawa, crossing shanty

Originally uploaded by renegourley.

This small building sheltered the Canada Atlantic crossing guard at Main Street, Ottawa until about 1908, when it was replaced with a pretty little hip-roofed building.
The model is all styrene, except the stove, which I turned from brass, and the windows, which are glass, of course. It's about 3 cm square.

After finishing the locomotive, I was somewhat burned out. So, a nice simple building was just the ticket for getting back into modeling. Buildings are soooo much easier than rolling stock!
