Walthers Cornerstone HO Scale Machine Shop Kit - 933-2902

Walthers Cornerstone HO Scale Machine Shop Kit - 933-2902 adds a substantial locomotive repair facility to an HO scale engine terminal, railroad yard, or maintenance complex. Based on authentic North American railroad prototypes, machine shops allowed railroads to perform repairs at outlying terminals rather than sending locomotives back to a major backshop. Designed for late-steam and diesel-era layouts, the finished building measures 13-5/8 x 8-3/4 x 5-1/8" (34.6 x 22.2 x 13cm). Browse the complete Walthers Cornerstone model railroad buildings and structures collection for additional HO scale railroad facilities and structures.

As locomotive fleets expanded and engine terminals became more sophisticated, machine shops provided the equipment and workspace needed to handle many types of repairs away from a railroad's main backshop. The Walthers Cornerstone Machine Shop recreates this important facility and is designed to match the Walthers Cornerstone Modern Roundhouse 933-2900. It can be constructed as an attached part of a larger engine terminal or as a freestanding railroad shop.

The track-ready baseplate and large roll-up doors make the Machine Shop a natural focal point for locomotive maintenance operations.

Expand Your Walthers Cornerstone HO Scale Engine Terminal

The Machine Shop pairs naturally with Walthers Cornerstone engine and maintenance facilities when developing a complete locomotive servicing and repair complex. Because the building is designed to match the Cornerstone Modern Roundhouse, it can become part of a larger terminal with roundhouse stalls, service tracks, and additional locomotive support facilities.
