NTS&B Lionel 132 Operating Stop and Go Station platform extended

Although the 132 station has been servicing passengers for a number of years, sometimes the poor passengers had to make a major leap (of faith) to reach the passenger cars, since the station was in a curve.  I finally extended the platform for their convenience.  The extension was made from a printed page as close as possible to the original color and pattern of the original, glued to a piece of Styrofoam. So far, the passengers seem quite happy with it.  The following pictures are the before and after.
