Walthers Cornerstone Residential Buildings brings homes and neighborhood structures into the communities surrounding a model railroad. Residential buildings can help transform the space beyond the tracks into recognizable towns, suburbs, and city neighborhoods while providing a natural connection between railroad scenes and nearby commercial districts. Whether used to create a small group of homes or a larger residential area, these structures give modelers another way to develop the places where people live alongside the railroad. Explore the complete Walthers Cornerstone model railroad buildings and structures catalog for additional structure categories.
Residential scenes can provide an important contrast with the railroad and industrial areas of a layout. Tracks may pass behind homes, cross neighborhood streets, or separate residential areas from nearby businesses and industries. Arranging houses around roads and other community structures can help establish the size and character of a modeled town while filling areas where railroad-specific or industrial buildings would be less appropriate.
Build Model Railroad Neighborhoods
Residential model train buildings can be incorporated into layouts in several ways depending on the space available and the community being developed. Rather than placing houses randomly around open scenery, modelers can group structures to create recognizable neighborhoods and transitions between different parts of the layout.
Create neighborhoods along streets near the railroad
Develop residential areas surrounding a small-town center
Extend city scenes away from downtown commercial districts
Use homes as a transition between developed areas and open scenery
Build communities around nearby stations and railroad corridors
A residential district can work especially well when connected visually with the commercial center of the same community. Modelers can browse Walthers Cornerstone commercial and city buildings to continue neighborhood streets toward downtown businesses and other developed areas.
Connect Residential Areas with the Railroad
Railroad stations and depots can provide a natural connection between residential neighborhoods and the tracks. Explore Walthers stations and depots when developing a community served by passenger trains. For additional buildings positioned directly around the railroad, browse Walthers Cornerstone trackside structures.
Modelers can also use residential areas to separate visually different sections of a layout. A neighborhood between a downtown district and an industrial area can make the transition between those scenes more gradual. For layouts that include nearby factories, warehouses, or other freight customers, the Walthers Cornerstone industrial structures collection provides options for developing the working areas beyond the neighborhood.
Modelers finishing residential structures and surrounding scenery can also browse Fusion Scale Hobbies' model railroad and hobby paint for painting, detailing, and weathering projects, along with model building glue and adhesives for additional structure-building and layout supplies.
