I bought a Santa Fe depot kit a few months ago. it was a great deal and I have an attraction to that style depot. There are a few of them left here in the southwest, and I'd like to see them all preserved. The one up in Winslow, Arizona is going to pot. Two church benches in the middle of the waiting room, the ticket counters have been removed and the wall boarded up and not even a working restroom to use. But, it has the same footprint as the one in the picture, just that it's all been stuccoed, probably because the adjacent Harvey House is also stucco. Two trains a day stop there, one heading east, the other west.
Anyway, the depot is too big and I don't have a place to put it on my layout. It measures about 12" by 3 1/2", so what I've decided to do is to put it on a diorama. I have idea what it's going to look like, but here's a picture of the depot that's on the box. I want to leave it true to what the structure represents, so any original ideas will go to the surrounding areas.
