James,
This would be a perfect project to make a styrene master and make a mold (Micro Mark sells the material) and make dozens of these out of resin.
Most of the suburban stations had iron supports, not concrete.

I'd like to thank all those that helped answer my questions on the Aurora, IL depot. I'm moving forward with plans to construct a module set of the depot located here. I've done the design work, and I'm working on some of the details now. I do have a couple of follow-up questions that I'm hoping others can help me with pertaining to the following photograph: http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=231933&nseq=8 Can anyone tell me if all of CB&Q's covered platforms were the same (a common design) and used where necessary at different stations / depots across the system? If not, was the one that used to be located at Aurora used anywhere else and if so which? Does anyone know of a drawing for these (the pillars and the roof) or have the dimensions for these and how far apart they were spaced? Are there any CB&Q stations / depots where the covered platforms are still standing where one could measure these? Any and all help on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Best Regards James Koretsky __._,_.___
