    Toilet Duck? *rotfl* Quack, quack!

    Seriously, it looks a lot like an NP-style depot. here's the Frenchtown, MT depot (moved to Alberton, MT; renovated into an antique shop):

    From the Cold War era....Duck-n-Cover? OK, so it's a stretch with the 3M "cover".

    Nope. Not Milw Tacoma.

    The building almost has me thinking of something SP. But what is the prototype for that duck?

    Proves once again there is a prototype for almost anything!!! That thing must quack as loud as a train horn!!! that would be fun to hear( at a distance though). Earplugs too if close.

    Robert, that depot is one of those GREAT ones that you can't quite pin it down, but you know you've seen it somewhere. I'm thinking its out on the Everett branch somewhere....

    But the duck. ... well, we found THAT!

    Reminds me of when people asked me where I got the manhole-sized dime that I put in my Climax A shots, or the Giant Inflatable Thumb in one shot.

    A I noted a couple of posts earlier, no. It's not Milw Tacoma. Not Milw that I have ever seen.

    Too easy

    You've made it too easy by including the NYC engine in the picture.

    Here's a more recent aerial view of the structure:

    another clue.... The automobiles crossing the tracks are on South Washington Street

    Correct!
    I am building this model for John Bartolotto, stationed in Germany. John recently switchec from Z Scale to N Scale modeling, and is building a model of the East Rochester, NY area as it was in the 1900's.
