Specific Item Information: The HARRIS Tower still stands near the former Pennsylvania Railroad’s passenger station in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. This tower was first put into service on April 26, 1930 in an effort to modernize and consolidate three older interlocking plants in the area. Harris Tower handled most of the train movement in and out of the Harrisburg area with 59 turnouts and 43 signals under its control. As the western terminus of the PRR’s electrified lines, it controlled the movement of over 120 trains per day at its peak in the 1930’s - 1940’s. This number of trains dwindled over time as the result of reduced passenger service and a movement to more modern centralized train movement technologies. The Harris Tower is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and has been restored by the Harrisburg Chapter of the National Railway Historical Society as an operating museum. This kit features self-stick brick overlays, step-by-step illustrated instructions and can be built with or without the optional underground access level. A full color prototype photo sheet is contained in the instructions as a reference for coloring this model. A reproduction of the PRR Harrisburg Yard Diagram dated July 1, 1950 is available as a PDF file by request. The laser-cut brick pieces featured in this kit are created from our “Model Builder’s Supply Line” styrene building sheets which are available separately. HO Scale model measures approximately 5"(L) X 4"(W) X 7"(H). N Scale model measures approximately 2½"(L) X 2"(W) X 3½"(H).
Road Name History:
Railroad structures include but are not limited to stations, depots, yard offices, interlocking towers and tanks. A train station, railway station, railroad station, or depot is a railway facility where trains regularly stop to load or unload passengers or freight.

It generally consists of at least one track-side platform and a station building (depot) providing such ancillary services as ticket sales and waiting rooms. If a station is on a single-track line, it often has a passing loop to facilitate traffic movements. The smallest stations are most often referred to as "stops" or, in some parts of the world, as "halts" (flag stops). Stations may be at ground level, underground, or elevated. Connections may be available to intersecting rail lines or other transport modes such as buses, trams or other rapid transit systems.

From Wikipedia
Brand/Importer Information:
The N Scale Architect was founded in 1991 by Russ Kaufman who has been active in model railroading since the early 1970s. Although many model railroaders received a Lionel Train as their first train set, Russ and his brother Bill were bitten by the model railroad bug in the form of an Aurora N-Scale set.

Russ started The N Scale Architect based on the encouragement of fellow modelers who thought that the plans he had drawn up for scratch building over the years might be enjoyed by others in kit form. The first kits featured detailed step-by-step instructions with hand drawn illustrations and plastic templates to be used for cutting the various pieces. This tradition of high quality instructions continues with the addition of "in-process" and color photos and, thanks to better computer aided programs, more detailed drawings. These templates have been replaced with laser-cut micro-plywood pieces along with the addition of many detailing castings which are now also available separately as part of their "Making A Scene" product line.
