I find this list anything BUT a listing of 'Mission Style'

Santa Fe's Albuquerque , original Los Angeles' Le Grande, Pasadena, and San Bernadino, stations were definitely 'Moorish' complete with with turrets et al.
The San Diego (rebuilt) station, San Juan Capistrano, Santa Ana, Fullerton, and L.A. Union were 'Mission' style, but most of the 'surf line' built by the California Southern was Victorian.(Exanple - Carlsbad ).

The Barstow and Needles Stations were a beautiful psuedo-Greek architecture.

I guess it depends on the time period.. Most of the Kansas (and Illinois) depots were anything BUT 'Mission Style'. Remember the Santa Fe invested in and bought much of the RR's they now have incorporated: Belen to Mohave = Atlantic & Pacific; Barstow to San Diego = California Southern, San Berdoo - LA = Los Andeles & San Gabriel Valley RR,. There are others, such as the San Juaquin Vally RR - each with their own architectural style - and were already built. The original CS Fallbrook station was a box car on the Temecula Canyon route.

TO BE MORE SPECIFIC: Most of the MISSION STYLE stations were along the new surf-line (San Clemente - LA), or rebuilds out to (but not including} San Bernadino via Riverside (or Santa Anita).

I don't know of any plans, but there are a couple of books out on Stations of the Santa Fe. The Santa Fe Historical & Modeling socierty might have something of value for you, The had a neat article on the Riverside Station which was in the heart of Orange grove country.

Jools,
Based on Leighant's response, here's a citation from the Index of Magazines:
Stations on the Santa Fe Belen Cutoff, Prototype Modeler, February 1987, page 8 ( ATSF, "BOHI, CHARLES", STATION, STRUCTURE, PROTOTYPE, PMM )
You'll probably have to order a photocopy from the NMRA's Kalmbach Memorial LIbrary:

Did you get any help at the SFRH&MA site both he and I have noted ?

Railroad Model Craftsman published a general standard plan 20 or 30 years ago for the Belen Cutoff-New Mexico design, and I found a bunch of photo references but could not immediately find the plan. Maybe it will turn up. Hope this is a start.

Hi from England, anyone know where I find plans of Santa Fe mission style depots. I am planning to build one for my layout or could I use the plan of Girard, KS in March 86 and modify it to Mission Style. Any help would be of great help.[:)]
