Walthers Cornerstone HO Scale Fireproof Storage & Transfer Background Building Kit - 933-3189

Walthers Cornerstone HO Scale Fireproof Storage & Transfer Background Building Kit - 933-3189 adds the look of a substantial three-story brick commercial or industrial building without requiring the layout space of a full-depth structure. Designed as a thin-profile background building, Fireproof Storage & Transfer is ideal for filling space along a backdrop, behind railroad tracks, or in an older business and industrial district. The finished structure measures 12-7/8 x 1-3/8 x 7" (32.7 x 3.5 x 17.8cm). Browse the complete Walthers Cornerstone model railroad buildings and structures collection for additional HO scale structures.

Period styling makes this Walthers Cornerstone background building suitable for both steam- and diesel-era layouts. The large trackside wall includes two loading doors, while the shallow end walls and roof create the appearance of a much larger structure extending beyond the modeled scene. Its versatile architecture allows it to represent a warehouse, factory, distributor, or other commercial or industrial business.

Build an HO Scale Industrial Background Building

The Walthers Cornerstone Fireproof Storage & Transfer Background Building combines a space-saving footprint with classic industrial architecture:

• Three-story brick background structure
• Thin-profile design saves valuable layout space
• Large trackside wall with two loading doors
• Two shallow end walls and roof included
• Multi-pane wood factory-style windows
• Suitable for steam- and diesel-era layouts
• Can represent a warehouse, factory, distributor, or other business
• Can be repurposed for a modern-era antique mall, upscale apartments, or museum
• Molded in two colors and clear plastic
• Ideal for backdrop, trackside, commercial, and industrial scenes
• Finished size of 12-7/8 x 1-3/8 x 7" (32.7 x 3.5 x 17.8cm)

The shallow 1-3/8" depth makes Fireproof Storage & Transfer especially useful where layout space is limited. Position it against a backdrop to suggest a much deeper industrial or commercial district, or place it behind tracks and foreground structures to add another layer of architectural depth without consuming valuable scenery space.
