Don - From the BRHS Flickr Collection, I've attached two undated images of the Hinckley, IL, depot that probably were taken during the 1910s.  From the differences in the backgrounds comparing against the 1957 view, I wonder if the depot had been relocated prior to 1957? The depot structure had been modified over the years, too. The depot probably appeared more like the earlier version than the 1957 structure when your mom was waiting for the train in 1941 - Louis

I just want to thank everyone who shared information with me on the Hinckley depot.   I finished scratchbuilding it, and like how it turned out.

My layout represents 1966 when the depot was used as a MOW facility (and flag stop), but I did a minor timewarp to show my mother waiting for the train in 1941.  She started going into the big city (Aurora) when she was 14 to shop for clothes.

Thanks for helping me to get this right!
