The kit also includes a separate main office and two large roadside signs, providing the key elements needed to create a complete vintage motor hotel property. The hotel measures 10-3/16 x 4 x 2-5/8" (25.8 x 10.1 x 6.6cm). Explore the complete Walthers Cornerstone model railroad buildings and structures collection for additional HO scale structures.

Motor hotels became familiar sights as automobile travel expanded and roadside lodging grew in popularity. While this Cornerstone model is especially appropriate for 1950s and 1960s scenes, many older motel properties survived into later decades, with some continuing as lodging and others converted into apartments. This gives 933-3488 plenty of flexibility for both vintage and modern layouts.
