    Does anyone have a Sanborn map of the 75th Street grade crossing in Merriam, KS and/or a track map pre I-35?

    Thanks,

    Here you are.

    Howard D. Killam only would take the passenger end front view of a depot.

    But knowing what is needed to model a structure, I always took all sides.

    Richard,

    I am especially grateful that you got such good, detailed photographs.

    First of all, I have a really good view of what is left of the waybill box!

    I can probably make a reasonable Frisco prototype based on these photos and with some hardware pieces from my neighborhood hardware store.

    It is one thing to accurately model a depot, but these photographs really help to capture the entire surroundings and little details that surround the average depot grounds.

    Well done, and thanks for sharing!

    Best Regards,

    Chris,

    I have photographs of all Kansas City Subdivision depots.

    If there are any others you want to look at let me know.
