Unless, you live in Utah, I doubt you know about the Thistle flood of 1983. Long story short, the small community of Thistle no longer exists. I am looking at building a N scale layout of Thistle, sometime around 1960. I have not been able to find very many pictures of the depot, track layout, etc… If there are any pics you could add, it would really help me out building the layout. These are the pics I have so far

Welcome to TrainBoard! Are you a member of the D&RGW Yahoo group? They might have photos of Thistle, or at least members that have photos that can share. https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/DRGW/info Another from Thistle: http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=386756&nseq=112
Welcome aboard, Coloradocowboy. I was going to suggest that you try to find James Belmont's site, and I see jimmypage sent links to some of James' photos. If anyone has any from back when you are looking for them, it would be James.
Have you by chance ever contacted the Railroad Station Historical Society? They keep tabs on all existing railroad structures, and should have a knowledge of many past buildings. They might be able to refer you to a good source. www.rrshs.org
