Blair Line makes 2 laser kits that might work to model the Mt. Morris depot:
their Leeton Depot kit is probably a closer match to Mt.Morris than their
Walnut Grove kit. The stock Leeton depot has the correct floor plan for Mt.
Morris, but at 24 x 40 may be a little too wide?
I am actually using the Walnut Grove kit as the basis for my Galena Jct. model;
when I built the Leeton Depot kit I was going to use if for Galena Jct and
reversed the walls so the layout would match that. Now I'm going to use it for
Mt. Morris in a mirrored configuration ... selective compression, don't you
know.
Regards,
Paul
