Ben,
There really isn’t a model similar to the any of the brick depots MoPac had on the Arkansas Division. The closet place to start would be the Walthers Pella Depot. https://www.walthers.com/exec/productinfo/933-3818 It follows some of the lines of the MoPac depots but lacks the open portico that was on many of the prototypes. The MoPac depots were fairly large, and had clay tile roofs, so even scratch building presents a problem in finding suitable roofing. Combining two Pella depots would be a good starting point, but joining the roof so that the tiles align would take some time.
Though it’s a stretch, the Walthers depot seems to most resemble Beebe, AR.
