The Walthers 933 - 2932 HO Scale Whitehall Station is a must - have for railroad modelers. Measuring 18 - 1/2 x 5 - 1/2 x 3 - 3/16 inches (46.9 x 13.9 x 8 cm), it's a great addition to any railroad layout. This station is based on the 1914 - built prototype in Whitehall, Wisconsin, on the Green Bay & Western Railroad. It resembles small - town stations across the U.S. and is suitable for layouts from the 1900s to the present. With an authentic 'brick' exterior, covered platforms on two sides, attractive curved windows, and a gabled roof, it looks extremely realistic. The interior had a central ticket counter, operator's bay, separate waiting rooms, and a freight room. Large arched windows let in lots of light, and the angled operator's bay offers a great view of the tracks. A long canopy shelters passengers. The freight room can handle parcels. The depot served travelers until 1949 and was an active freight agency until 1963. It's now a restored museum and is on the National Register of Historic Places. This Cornerstone Series kit looks amazing with Walthers streamlined or heavyweight cars. Parts come in appropriate colors, just like the red - brick prototype. You can position the freight doors open or closed to add baggage carts or cargo transfer scenes.

Using this HO scale Whitehall Station is easy. First, find a suitable spot on your railroad layout for it. Make sure the area is flat and clean. You can assemble the parts according to the included instructions. It's best to handle the parts gently as they are delicate. When positioning the freight doors, think about the scene you want to create. If you want to show cargo transfer, open the doors and add a baggage cart. For a more static look, keep the doors closed. As for maintenance, you can use a soft brush to remove dust regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the colors of the parts. Store the station in a dry place when not in use to prevent any warping or damage.
