Hi , I'm new to the list and would like to
find some information. Does any one know of any information on the PC(MC,
NYC ) depot that is in downtown Detroit. I remember going there with
my father(retired conrail(MC, NYC, PC) engineer). I would like to eventualy
model it in HO but need some(any ) info on it. Thanks.

Tim,
Trains Magazine had a huge two-part feature
on Detroit's Michigan Central Terminal in its August and September
1978 editions. About 40 pages in all, with lots of text and
even a few plans and elevations of the station itself. Great for
modelling purposes. Also lots of detailed photos of the building from
the 1920s to the 1970s. The two-part feaure also included details on
the history of the Michigan Central and its Canada Southern lessee.
You should be able to pick up the back issues by way of
Trains' website at www.trains.com I checked the
site out just before writing this e-mail to double check the dates.
They still have copies of both these issues in stock -- at $4.50
each.
P.S.: Welcome to the group!
