Hello, I’m in the process of working on my n scale train layout. I’m a member of Decatur then and now. What I need are the measurements of the out side of the post office. I would appreciate any help you could give me. I’ve made models of the transfer house,library,wabah depot,Staley office building etc. Thank you, Chuck
