N Scale Illinois Central Depot

[Fishplate]

For a long time, I've wanted to build a model of the Illinois Central depot in Tonica, Illinois, my parents' hometown. The prototype depot has been gone for many years, but I finally found one photo for reference, probably taken circa 1900.

Here's the N scale model. Doors, windows and roof panels are from the Walthers Clarkesville Depot kit. The rest is scratchbuilt from Evergreen styrene. The train order signal is made from sheet brass, brass rod and ladder stock. I deviated from the prototype by adding a brick platform.

Looks plenty close enough to the picture for me. Nice work on the the train order board too.
