It should be an interesting move. It will be moving up the driveway to the Niles Canyon Railway station area, then across the NCRY and Union Pacific tracks. The only weird thing is that it will be turned around. The bay window will be facing the parking lot instead of the tracks. But from an esthetics standpoint the bay window side is better looking than the back side so they may as well have that the side you see as you approach it.
The depot guys have done an outstanding job on the freight depot. I can't believe how they took that old swaybacked rotting wreck of a building and have restored it into a good looking, solid building for their model railroad.
Now the only trick is to figure out how to get an underpass or overpass from the Niles Depot area across the UP and NCRY tracks to the NCRY station.
