Walthers Cornerstone HO Scale Northern Light & Power Substation Kit - 933-3025

Walthers Cornerstone HO Scale Northern Light & Power Substation Kit - 933-3025 brings an important part of the electrical distribution system to an HO scale model railroad. Substations are used to reduce high voltage before electricity is distributed to residential and commercial customers, making this type of facility a natural addition to municipal, industrial, and utility scenes. The finished model measures 8-1/2 x 12-1/2" (21.6 x 31.8cm). Browse the complete Walthers Cornerstone model railroad buildings and structures collection for additional structures and building kits.

Northern Light & Power can be used as a stand-alone utility facility or positioned near a generating station or large industrial complex. Prototype substations can also be found serving industries such as steel mills and paper mills, giving modelers several options for incorporating the structure into a railroad scene. Designed for 1950s and later layouts, the kit works especially well when building diesel-era and contemporary industrial districts.

Build an HO Scale Electrical Substation

The Walthers Cornerstone Northern Light & Power Substation includes several recognizable components for developing an electrical utility scene:

• Detailed transformer equipment
• Steel framework
• Chain-link fencing around the facility
• Warning sign decals
• Suitable for 1950s and later industrial scenes
• 8-1/2 x 12-1/2" (21.6 x 31.8cm) footprint
• Easy-to-build plastic kit

The combination of transformers, structural framework, and perimeter fencing gives the substation a distinctly different appearance from factories and warehouses while still fitting naturally into an industrial district. It can also help explain how the surrounding modeled community and industries receive electrical power, adding another type of infrastructure beyond railroad tracks and buildings.

Expand Your Walthers Cornerstone Industrial Scene

Northern Light & Power fits naturally with Walthers Cornerstone tanks, towers and utility structures when developing the infrastructure that supports a modeled community or industrial complex. Additional factories and rail-served businesses can be found in Walthers Cornerstone industrial structures.

For larger manufacturing districts, browse Walthers Cornerstone heavy industry for structures that can complement a dedicated electrical substation. Smaller components for developing the surrounding property can also be found in Walthers Cornerstone accessories and details.
