Walthers Cornerstone HO Scale Lauston Shipping Background Building Kit - 933-3191

Walthers Cornerstone HO Scale Lauston Shipping Background Building Kit - 933-3191 is a thin-profile industrial structure designed to make effective use of limited space along the rear of an HO scale model railroad. Measuring 19 x 1-1/8 x 4" (48.2 x 2.8 x 10.1cm), this background building can be positioned between foreground scenery and a painted or printed backdrop to extend the appearance of a larger industrial district. Browse the complete Walthers Cornerstone model railroad buildings and structures collection for additional HO scale structures.

Designed for layouts representing the 1960s to the present, Lauston Shipping features windowed walls that distinguish it from the solid-wall design of the related Bud's Trucking Company background building. Its shallow footprint allows modelers to add another industrial business where there may not be enough room for a full-depth structure. The building can be used along the edge of traditional benchwork, shelf layouts, modular layouts, or industrial dioramas.
