Description
Well guys, after several months of development and hard work, here it is, the top station for the Proxdale & MacFarline, MacFarline Station.
Info: MacFarline serves as the gateway to MacFarline State Park, 15 miles north of Proxdale. The park has a lot of outdoor activites to offer from hiking to fishing to rock climbing. Notable wildlife include white-tailed deer, black bears, coyotes, bobcats and the occasional bald eagle. But the main attraction is a limestone cave, named after naturalist, Prof. Jessie MacFarline from St. Louis University. After his studies of the cave were published, tourists began flocking to the cave, but there were no reliable roads to get there. So in 1897, the 2 foot narrow gauge Proxdale & Lime Mountain Railroad extended the line close to the entrance of the cave. Once the limestone depot was built in 1898, the railroad officially changed its name to the Proxdale & MacFarline Railroad and tourists have been flocking to the park by the hundreds ever since.
NOTE: I plan on adding on some details in the future, like more snow in the winter version, and autumn leaves in the autumn version.

So I've been looking over your backgrounds and I have one question, if I may so ask: how do you make the turntables? Other than that, your backgrounds are nice, albeit the semaphore signals are a bit jarring because it shouldn't look like that in this perspective.

Why do they look jarring to you?

From the side-view perspective, they should be facing the tracks and therefore look more flat rather than facing towards the camera, though I do understand why you would make them face the camera as for people to know that they are semaphore signals. Making them flat would make them hard to identify. I guess it's just preference. Like for me, I have my semaphore signals facing the track directly including all frames for the green, yellow, and red lights in focus along with how they're swung. This WIP reference sheet has my examples of semaphore signals and all frames from go to stop:

I don't know I've seen some pretty big Narrow gauge tender locos......Although if this station is only rated for tank locomotives it makes sense for it to be that small.

I have one tender engine on the Proxdale & MacFarline, but even then it's a 2-foot gauge tender engine.
