Step into a world of industrial charm with the HO Scale 3069 Walthers Front Street Warehouse. This Cornerstone model, part number 933 - 3069, brings the past to life. Picture big old wooden trackside doors creaking open as workers unload boxcars into this brick building. Tucked in the waterfront industrial district, it's a must - have for any layout's older industrial areas. Brick was the go - to building material in the 1800s for its sturdiness and fire - resistance, and this model captures that essence. With large windows and skylights, it offers plenty of natural light, just like the real ones. Some of these old buildings still stand today, either as industrial structures or converted into upscale condos. This model is perfectly sized - big enough to look right and small enough to fit most layouts. It's packed with realism, featuring realistic elevator housings and a clerestory on the roof. You have a choice between molded windows or window sheets with fine mullions. The HO Scale model comes molded in various colors and clear plastic, with highly detailed parts to mimic brick - by - brick construction. You can build it with standard molded windows or screen - printed ones with a thinner, more prototypical mullion. The finished Front Street Warehouse kit measures 6 - 3/4 x 15 - 3/8 x 10 inches (16.8 x 38.4 x 25 cm). Key features include realistic brick walls, rooftop elevator sheds, molded or fine - printed windows, four - color and clear plastic molding, and it's an easy - to - build plastic kit.

Using your HO Scale 3069 Walthers Front Street Warehouse is a breeze. First, carefully unpack all the parts from the kit. You'll notice that the parts are highly detailed, so handle them gently to avoid any breakage. If you choose to use the molded windows, simply fit them into the designated spaces on the building. For the window sheets with fine mullions, be sure to line them up correctly before attaching. When assembling the building, follow the included instructions step by step. The kit is designed to be easy to build, so even if you're new to model building, you should have no trouble. As for maintenance, keep the model in a dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the colors from fading. If it gets dusty, use a soft, dry brush to gently clean the surface. Avoid using any harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as they could damage the delicate parts. With proper care, your Front Street Warehouse will look great for years to come and add a touch of industrial realism to your layout.
