My wife wants me to build a depot for the G scale in the back yard and she wants it to look like the one at Strasburg. Are there any plans for that station and if so where can I get them.
The Nov 1996 issue of Mainline Modeler magazine has an article titled "Strasburg Depot" that has drawings. I don't know if it is the right Strasburg. It is in Colorado.
I tried to sell my two cents worth, but no one would give me a plug nickel for it.
I don't have a leg to stand on.
Lou,
Yes It would help to know where,,CO.,VA and PA. Here is the one in PA.:

The page has an unusual wide horizontal format. Scroll right. Ib opened it several times before I
figured it out.
DSCHMITT,
Thanks,,,,I also figured,that out after a couple try's. That is another nice Depot...Now I'm interested,in which one the OP meant.. Hopefully,there are not more Strasburgs out there..

It was Lou's first, one and only, post. Will we hear from him again?
That thought,did cross my mind,,,,but heck,,I'm seeing depot's,that I would not have known about before..
Frank,
Maybe he meant the depot in Strasburg France.
richhotrainMaybe he meant the depot in Strasburg France.
Do you mean this one Rich???

Bear, that is one beautiful old station. Thanks for the link.

Frank, it could be closer to home than you think.
There is a Strasburg in Illinois, down in Shelby County.

Problem is, I cannot find a depot, and I'm not sure that they ever ran any track through there.
,,Do you think..that can be compressed enough,to fit a 4x8 ??
Gidday Frank, might be a bit of a squeeze even in Z, besides would far exceed my scratch building abilities.
Hi Bear,
I believe that depot,would challenge,,anyone's,scratch building abilities,,no matter the scale..
Anyway,,check out Rich's link,to the Strasburg IL town and check out their Latest News section,,,good for a few,,
Hey guys. Sorry for that mix up. That would be Strasburg PA.
Here are a couple of links to the Strasburg Depot in PA.
You will probably need to contact them to begin your search.

Gidday Lou, having made a somewhat facetious post before, I should try to make amends.
Further to Richs suggestion, and if plans are not forth coming from other sources, there are enough photos of the depot that I''d suggest you think about drawing your own plans from them. Certainly an interesting building, besides If your wife wishes to see it in the garden then what other choice do you have.
Cheers, the Bear. "THE BOSS OF HOME when I'm at work or my wife isn't listening."
LOU,
After experiencing pics of the others,that would be my choice also..There is no need to be sorry,,I believe,we all had fun looking and I for one saw Depots,that I never saw before. Thanks for the comback.
