That sounds like it was to be a substantial structure! A large brick structure would work against the "theme" of my module, so while I'm interested to know what the depot was going to look like, I'm not likely to build it. A small platform with a depot sign would work quite well! And if it doesn't, my backup plan would be a selectively-compressed version of the Red Mountain depot.

Thanks for the help!
