Walthers Cornerstone HO Scale Cross-Dock Truck Facility Kit - 933-4131

Walthers Cornerstone HO Scale Cross-Dock Truck Facility Kit - 933-4131 adds a realistic freight-handling and trucking terminal to HO scale industrial districts, warehouse areas, and commercial business parks. Based on facilities used by trucking companies large and small from the 1940s to the present, cross-dock terminals receive freight, sort shipments, and quickly reload them for continued delivery. With space for up to 12 trailers or trucks at the loading docks, this Cornerstone structure creates a substantial truck-served industry without requiring railroad tracks directly alongside the building. Finished dimensions are 16-5/16 x 19-3/16 x 3-1/8" (41.4 x 48.7 x 7.9cm). Explore the complete Walthers Cornerstone model railroad buildings and structures collection for additional HO scale structures and industries.

Cross-dock facilities are designed to keep freight moving efficiently, transferring shipments through a terminal rather than storing them for extended periods. Facilities of this type have served trucking operations for decades, while many older terminals have been adapted for new uses. Walthers notes that former cross-dock buildings can also be found serving plumbers, electricians, painters, and similar small businesses, giving 933-4131 additional possibilities for contemporary layouts.
