Modeling
the DL&W Lafayette, N.J. Station (Ca. 1960)
These
drawings are based on photographic evidence, personal recollections,
extrapolations and ICC Valuation Map information. I've drawn the
station as it might appear in 1960.
I've come up
with measurements. I cannot guarantee they're 100% accurate to the
prototype station, but they will work to create a model that looks
an awful lot like the Lafayette station.
If anyone knows
something I missed, please speak
up.
I encourage everyone
to print these plans out and show them to ANYONE who may be able to
correct or confirm anything I have here. And if you or someone you
know is modeling this station, I'd appreciate knowing about it.

The
Lafayette shelter looks to have sported red asphalt shingles on it's
exterior walls. Green trim and a gray asphalt shingle roof finished
out it's colors.
To compensate for the hours of research and work I put into these
drawings, I'm offering paper prints of them for sale. Information
here:
Donations of photographs or scans of photographs of this or any other
Sussex County, New Jersey railroad station are always welcome.
