Forks Creek Depot

13 December, 2008

The main depot I want to use is to be based on the Forks Creek one that was on the Colorado and Southern. Unfortunately I have no plans for this. A few photos from mags and that, but I missed the issue of the Gazette that had the plans in.

I think the depot was 25 feet long by 15 feet wide at the base of the walls. A hobby shop website had what looks like frontage drawing and I've scaled it up to 1/4 inch. Another website mentioned the width and length (in inches) for an HO model so I've used that as a reference.

An idea is to have a freight area on one end with a cover or even an extension to the building - not sure yet.

Now if anyone has a fulll set of plans out there that they could scan in higher res and send me the images, it'd be nice :-) .... please
