Walthers Cornerstone HO Scale Plant No. 4 Background Building Kit - 933-3183

Walthers Cornerstone HO Scale Plant No. 4 Background Building Kit - 933-3183 adds a compact brick factory to the rear of an HO scale industrial district. Designed for placement between the rearmost track and a painted or printed backdrop, this shallow structure helps create the appearance of a larger manufacturing complex without requiring the footprint of a full-depth building. The assembled model measures 6 x 2-1/4 x 7-1/2" (15 x 5.6 x 18.7cm). Browse the complete Walthers Cornerstone model railroad buildings and structures collection for additional layout-building options.

Plant No. 4 can be used as a standalone background industry or placed alongside other shallow-profile structures to form a continuous line of factories. Its narrow depth of just over two inches makes it useful where space behind the track is limited. The brick walls, concrete loading dock, industrial windows, and included signs give the structure the appearance of an active trackside business.

The Walthers Cornerstone Plant No. 4 Background Building includes the structural features needed to develop a compact factory scene:

• Shallow-profile design for placement near a layout backdrop
• Can smooth the transition between foreground scenery and a painted or printed background
• Works as a standalone background building
• Can be combined with additional background structures
• Realistic brick wall detail
• Concrete loading dock for industrial operations
• Decal signs included
• Side walls molded in gray plastic
• Clear window glazing included
• Compact depth of 2-1/4" (5.6cm)
• Finished size of 6 x 2-1/4 x 7-1/2" (15 x 5.6 x 18.7cm)

The concrete loading dock gives Plant No. 4 a practical connection to the surrounding industrial scene. Freight cars, trucks, workers, pallets, and other details can be positioned nearby to suggest receiving or shipping activity. Multiple background buildings can also be arranged along the layout edge to make a factory district appear to continue beyond the modeled area.
