Brandon,

 

I’ve attached the CB&Q diagram for the Galva Depot.  These were scanned and provided to the BRHS by member, Tim Fleck.

Group,

I am starting a HO scale layout centered around my former hometown of Galva, Illinois and I would like to build models of the depot, CB&Q-CRI&P interlocking tower, and stockyard pen.
1. Would any of these buildings at Galva have been a one-off or could they have been part of a standard design?
2. Are there any building plans in the historical society archives or someone's personal archive of these buildings specifically, or plans of a similar building elsewhere on the "Q"?

As far as the depot goes, knowing window and door sizes would help out as I could use those to estimate further dimensions on account there are pictures available of all sides of the depot and I believe I've seen pictures of all sides of the tower except for the side opposite the tracks.

Thank you in advance for any help provided.
