Walthers Cornerstone HO Scale Postwar Prefab House Kit - 933-4152

Walthers Cornerstone HO Scale Postwar Prefab House Kit - 933-4152 brings a distinctive postwar residential structure to an HO scale neighborhood. Based on factory-made starter homes built and sold by the thousands from 1945 into the early 1950s, these compact houses were assembled on site as individual homes and entire subdivisions. Many remained in use long after their original construction period, making this design appropriate for late-steam, diesel, and modern-era layouts. The finished model measures 4-1/4 x 3-1/2 x 2-3/8" (10.8 x 8.8 x 6cm). Browse the complete Walthers Cornerstone model railroad buildings and structures collection for additional HO scale structures.

Postwar housing developments became an important part of the changing American landscape as new neighborhoods expanded around cities and towns. The Cornerstone Postwar Prefab House provides a compact residential building that can be used by itself or repeated to create a larger subdivision. Multiple front-wall and door options allow several kits to be varied when building a neighborhood.
