Walthers Cornerstone N Scale Car Shop Kit - 933-3228

Walthers Cornerstone N Scale Car Shop Kit - 933-3228 adds an essential railroad maintenance facility to an N scale yard, shop complex, or heavy industrial scene. Based on specialized railroad buildings used for freight and passenger car repairs, this three-stall brick car shop provides space for modeling the facilities where railroad equipment could receive work on trucks, brakes, interiors, and other components. The finished structure measures 7 x 5-1/4 x 4-3/4" (17.7 x 13.3 x 12cm). Browse the complete Walthers Cornerstone model railroad buildings and structures collection for additional railroad structures and layout-building options.

Prototype railroad car shops developed into long, specialized structures with multiple tracks running through the building so cars could move between different repair workstations. The Walthers Cornerstone Car Shop captures this appearance in a layout-friendly size suitable for both steam- and diesel-era railroads. Its modular design also allows multiple kits to be combined when a larger railroad maintenance complex is desired.
