There’s a prototype for anything
Ever wonder that your nice little display model of a Southern Pacific station might be a little bit unrealistic as it sits there on the display shelf, far up and away from anything resembling a railroad? Well, have no fear; just label it “OREGON CITY” and you’ll be set, because their new real station is, for some inexplicable reason, sitting on a concrete deck that’s raised higher than the actual station platform.
Notice that the station has a platform of its own, so it’s exactly like a display model.
It doesn’t seem very practical as a railroad station, but it makes an excellent modelling excuse.
