Walthers Cornerstone HO Scale Modern Brick Santa Fe Station Kit - 933-4064

Walthers Cornerstone HO Scale Modern Brick Santa Fe Station Kit - 933-4064 brings the streamlined look of a postwar Santa Fe passenger depot to HO scale railroad layouts. Based on original Santa Fe plans from 1954 and the prototype at Hutchinson, Kansas, this Cornerstone kit captures the Midcentury Modern architecture used as the railroad replaced or updated older passenger stations during the 1950s. With detailed brickwork and authentic period details, the station is an ideal centerpiece for Santa Fe passenger operations and can also represent the modern-style depots constructed by other railroads. Finished dimensions are 21-13/16 x 8-1/16 x 3" (55.5 x 20.4 x 7.6cm). Explore the complete Walthers Cornerstone model railroad buildings and structures collection for additional HO scale railroad structures.

The prototype design dates to an era when streamlined passenger trains and modern architecture were changing the appearance of American railroading. Several Santa Fe depots based on this style were constructed along the railroad's main line, and examples survived into later use with Amtrak or were repurposed for other businesses. This makes 933-4064 suitable for passenger scenes beginning in the 1950s and extending into later eras.
