The Walthers Cornerstone Brick Freight House in HO scale (Part# 933 - 2954) is a must - have for model railroad enthusiasts. This easy - to - build plastic kit measures 9 - 3/4 x 9 - 3/8 x 4 - 3/8 inches (24.8 x 23.8 x 11.1 cm). It's based on real structures where businesses without their own sidings shipped and received cargo. Many off - line shippers used the railroad to transfer goods from trains to trucks for delivery. The freight house was the center of action, with the adjacent Freight Office (sold separately) managing the paperwork. This particular kit is inspired by a building on Fowler Street, south of Milwaukee's depot. Its classic American design is common in many cities, making it perfect for any shipping terminal layout. You can also use it as part of a larger industry or in a railroad yard for handling company materials. The special end walls allow you to combine multiple kits to create a longer facility for more cars. The kit comes with detailed plastic parts molded in appropriate colors and illustrated instructions. It's one of the many Cornerstone HO railroad buildings available. Key features include prototypical brick construction, a loading dock with a metal awning, and its presence in railroad and industrial facilities from the 1900s to now.

Using this Walthers HO Scale Cornerstone Brick Freight House is a breeze. First, unpack the kit carefully and lay out all the parts. Follow the illustrated instructions step - by - step to assemble the freight house. If you want to create a longer facility, use the special end walls to combine multiple kits. When placing it on your model railroad layout, think about where it would fit best, like near a shipping terminal or in a railroad yard. As for maintenance, keep it away from direct sunlight to prevent the colors from fading. Use a soft, dry cloth to dust it regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents as they might damage the plastic parts. If you notice any loose parts, you can use a small amount of appropriate glue to fix them. Have fun building and customizing your freight house!
