The Walthers 933 - 4175 Small Substation Kit in HO Scale is a great addition to your model collection. Measuring 12.7 x 9.7 x 7.3cm (5 x 3 - 13/16 x 2 - 7/8'), it can stand alone in a rural area or be placed beside a power plant or heavy - industry site. This Cornerstone kit offers high - level details in a small space. It's ideal as a stand - alone structure or an extra detail for heavy industries. It features typical step - up and step - down units, a detailed transformer with radiators, insulators, and control boxes, along with chain link fencing. You can model a complete power grid by combining it with other Cornerstone kits like the Coal Conveyor with Transfer House, Modern High - Voltage Transmission Towers, Lakeshore Energy Power Plant, Intermediate Height 'Wood' Utility Poles, SceneMaster Utility Poles, and Utility Company Vehicles (each sold separately).

Using this Walthers small substation kit is easy. First, find a suitable spot in your model layout, whether it's a rural area or near a power plant. Carefully take out all the parts from the kit and start assembling them according to the included instructions. When handling the detailed parts like the transformer, insulators, and control boxes, be gentle to avoid any damage. For the chain link fencing, make sure it's properly attached to give a realistic look. As for maintenance, keep it away from dust and moisture. If it gets dirty, you can use a soft brush to gently clean it. When storing the kit, place it in a dry and safe place to prevent any breakage. Also, remember that the other kits to complete the power grid are sold separately, so you'll need to purchase them individually if you want a full - scale model.
