Small warehouses were among the most common businesses found beside railroad tracks. Companies used these practical buildings to receive, store, and protect lumber, machinery, building materials, agricultural products, and general merchandise delivered by rail. Their simple construction made them economical to build and easy to expand as shipping and storage requirements changed.

• Easy-to-build plastic structure kit
• Building 1 measures 4 x 4-1/2 x 3" (10 x 11.2 x 7.5cm)
• Building 2 measures 9 x 4-1/4 x 3-1/2" (22.5 x 10.6 x 8.7cm)
• Building 3 measures 5-3/4 x 3-1/4 x 2-5/8" (14.3 x 8.1 x 6.5cm)
• Building 4 measures 5-3/4 x 3-3/8 x 3-1/2" (14.3 x 8.4 x 8.7cm)

Grouped together, the four structures can form a substantial lumber dealer with separate buildings for receiving, covered storage, cutting, and shipping. Flatcars, bulkhead flatcars, and boxcars can be positioned on an adjoining siding, while trucks and forklifts move products between the warehouses and customer-loading areas.

The individual buildings can also serve unrelated businesses at several locations around the layout. One might become a railroad material warehouse, another a machinery dealer, and the remaining structures small manufacturing or distribution companies. The included business signs help establish different identities without requiring all four buildings to remain part of Clayton County Lumber.

The angled-wall structure is especially useful beside curved track or on an unusually shaped industrial property. It can follow the edge of a siding while using space that might otherwise be difficult to develop. The positionable doors provide further flexibility when orienting rail- and truck-loading areas.

Lumber stacks, pallets, delivery trucks, forklifts, workers, fencing, and unpaved storage yards can complete a lumber-company scene. For other industries, appropriate loads, signs, vehicles, and exterior equipment can redefine each building's purpose.
