N Scale Standard Combination Depot 30x60  During the late 1890's the Great Northern's engineering staff developed standard designs for various sizes of wooden depots. These structures were used system wide to serve small towns. The majority of the frame depots followed one of two basic standard designs.  The simpler of the two was used prior to 1909, but its exact design origin date is unknown.  The plan on which this kit is based was designed in 1909 and revised in 1930.  This standard design was used for new construction until a depot modernization program featuring new designs began in 1949. The 1909 depot featured architectural treatments missing from the earlier design such as angled bay sides, enclosed eaves with special corner treatment, and an external wainscoting, which separated the different types of wall siding.  Depots of this design were constructed in several standard sizes:  24’ x 48’; 30’ x 60’ (as this kit is modeled); and 30’ x 64’ (with a warm room in the freight e
