The Modern Double-Track Engine House offers several configuration options for fitting the building into different locomotive terminal arrangements. It can be built as a run-through facility or as a single-ended engine house, and two styles of front and rear walls allow the structure to be configured for left- or right-side entry. This flexibility makes the kit useful when designing a new engine terminal or adding a maintenance building to an existing railroad yard.

Build a Modern HO Scale Engine Facility

The Walthers Cornerstone Modern Double-Track Engine House includes several features for developing a locomotive servicing and maintenance scene:

• Two-track modern engine house design
• Suitable for layouts from the 1970s to the present
• Build as a run-through or single-ended structure
• Two styles of front and rear walls for left- or right-side entry
• Window-style or plain scale 18' overhead and entry doors
• Two styles of nonworking security lights
• Separate gas and electric meter details
• Parts molded in three colors with acetate for windows

The two-track arrangement provides room for locomotive activity while keeping the building compact enough for smaller railroad facilities. Track centerlines are spaced at 1-1/2" (3.8cm), with 3" (7.6cm) between the two tracks, allowing the structure to become a functional visual centerpiece for a short-line shop, industrial railroad, or modern engine terminal.
