Rob OFFLINE Road Foreman of Engines Posts: 393 Thank you received: 57	I do not remember the year - around 1966 I believe, Model Railroader published plans for the Suplee station on the W&N. A very interesting arrangement as the station sat at the diamond of an at grade crossing with the Pennsy branch there and served both lines. There was also a connecting track that formed somewhat of a triangle that I believe the station sat in. Rob

Plans of the stations would be great. I am looking for a photo of the north side of the Vera Cruz station, on the Perk. I did get the chance to measure up the Emmaus station, on the East Penn line and take photo's of all sides. This was around the time of the fire but before it was altered. I did not get the overall height of the roof but the wall sides, doors, windows, width of boards, and length & width of the building. Enough to model it, which I am about to start. Still plans of the inside would be good. I have no pics of the inside either. I do have pics of the inside of Chapmans station in the 70's.

Robin OFFLINE Conductor Posts: 173 Thank you received: 47	That's right, Rob, I missed the Suplee freight station! I based my first ever scratch built structure on those plans (and gave it away years ago). I'll check out the date for that one when I get home this evening.
