PROTOTYPE & MODEL OF GLENDALE AZ DEPOT FOR MY PEAVINE SUB

The modern Glendale, AZ depot was boarded up but still standing when this photo was taken in 1998. The structure's build date has not been researched, but John Sayre's The Santa Fe Prescott & Phoenix Railway: The Scenic Line of Arizona indicates that its predecessor, a brick depot built in 1910, was retired in 1967. The depot's architecture is very similar to the one constructed at Williams Junction, AZ in 1959. Since this photo was taken, the building has been repainted and is in use by BNSF maintenance of way crews. these are pice of the prototype

these are the pics of the model. this started out as a plasticville depot that i repainted to match the prototype,  built & added the loading dock, built & added the electrical cabinets behind the structure. i am waiting for the radio antenna to arrive. i was going to scratch build this structure, but the plasticville kit came very close to the prototype. any way here are a couple of pics
