That is a nifty station. If you're still in the Chicago area, I'd show up, eat, and take lots of pictures and measurements.

unfortunately i live in coastal North Carolina, (yeah hurricane alley) and Chicago is a minimum of two days of lots of driving, Younger days i would have done it straight thru, but not anymore
sure do miss the Chicago style Italian roast beef (wet) sandwiches
I remember seeing this station and plans for it in an old Mainline Modeler magazine.
There used to be a searchable data base of plans, stories etc. Someone here maybe able to point you to the article.
According to the NMRA magazine database:

The 1984 February, July, and August issues of Mainline Modeler had a 3-Part modeling series on the Stone Avenue Depot in La Grange, IL. I don't know 100% for sure that this is the same depot or not, but I suspect that it may be.
