Walthers Cornerstone HO Scale Brick Mission-Style Santa Fe Depot Kit - 933-4055

Walthers Cornerstone HO Scale Brick Mission-Style Santa Fe Depot Kit - 933-4055 brings the distinctive architecture of a classic Santa Fe passenger station to HO scale railroad layouts. Based on a standard Santa Fe design used systemwide, this style of brick depot was typically built in larger towns and county seats. Detailed brickwork, an operator's bay, wood trim, downspouts, a brick platform, and printed station signs create a recognizable trackside landmark suitable for layouts from the 1930s to the present. Finished dimensions are 11-5/16 x 6-7/16 x 3-3/4" (28.7 x 16.3 x 9.5cm). Explore the complete Walthers Cornerstone model railroad buildings and structures collection for additional HO scale railroad structures.

Although based on a Santa Fe prototype, similarly styled stations were used by several railroads, giving the model additional possibilities beyond a strictly Santa Fe layout. Many of these distinctive brick depots also survived beyond their original passenger-service roles and were repurposed for other uses, making the structure appropriate for both historic and more contemporary railroad scenes.
