Walthers Cornerstone HO Scale 3-Stall Modern Roundhouse Kit - 933-2900

Walthers Cornerstone HO Scale 3-Stall Modern Roundhouse Kit - 933-2900 creates a substantial locomotive servicing facility for later steam-era and diesel-era HO scale model railroads. Designed around the larger roundhouses built to accommodate increasingly powerful steam locomotives, this three-stall structure provides covered space where engines could be inspected, serviced, and stored between assignments. The basic roundhouse measures 16 x 20-1/8 x 5-1/2" (40.6 x 51.1 x 14cm). Browse the complete Walthers Cornerstone model railroad buildings and structures collection for additional HO scale structure kits.

The Modern Roundhouse features three stalls arranged on compact 10-degree centers and is designed to accommodate locomotives up to 125 scale feet long. Parts are also included to build one extended stall capable of accommodating locomotives up to 145 scale feet long. This makes the structure especially useful for layouts featuring large steam power while remaining appropriate for diesel-era scenes where roundhouses continued to serve locomotive maintenance operations.

Build an HO Scale Modern Roundhouse and Engine Terminal

The Walthers Cornerstone 3-Stall Modern Roundhouse includes several features for creating a detailed locomotive servicing scene:

• Three locomotive stalls on compact 10-degree centers
• Accommodates locomotives up to 125 scale feet long
• Parts included for one extended 145-scale-foot stall
• Interior and exterior brick wall detail
• Detailed windows and interior roof truss work
• Floor inspection pits
• Decal signs included
• Modular design for expanding the roundhouse with additional stalls

The modular design allows the basic three-stall building to grow with the locomotive terminal. Walthers Cornerstone 3-Stall Modern Roundhouse Addition kits can be added to create a larger facility, including a full-circle roundhouse when layout space and operating requirements allow. This flexibility makes the structure useful for everything from a compact division-point terminal to a major locomotive servicing complex.

Expand Your Walthers Cornerstone Engine Facility

The 3-Stall Modern Roundhouse fits naturally with Walthers Cornerstone HO scale yard and shop facility buildings when developing a complete locomotive terminal. Roundhouses were only one part of these facilities, and surrounding servicing structures can help establish where locomotives were inspected, maintained, fueled, sanded, and prepared for their next assignments.

Modelers can also browse Walthers Cornerstone engine and maintenance facilities for additional locomotive-related structures. For buildings and facilities that can extend the surrounding railroad property beyond the roundhouse, explore Walthers Cornerstone railroad structures.
