    I'm looking at doing a TTrak module with my hometown's depot on it. Unfortunately, it was knocked down a decade before I was born. I've talked to Blairline's Dale Rush and he was able to send me the following pictures of the Frisco Depot in Sarcoxie. The Blairline kits aren't very close. He thought there was somenone else who made one pretty close at one time. Anyone have a suggestion? Thanks!

    You may want to look into scratchbuilding it, as it wouldn't be overly difficult. A basic rectangle shape with board and batten siding, a simple roof and doors and windows.

    It's a lousy picture, but I built this N Scale yard office some years ago. It was fun, didn't take long and it turned out okay.

    You may need to go the scratch building route. Evergreen Scale Models has sheets of board and batten siding.

    This looks like a good candidate for 3d printing or laser cutting some wood.
