Mission Style Freight House Kit

Details

The Walthers Cornerstone Mission-Style Freight House is based on a standard Santa Fe design used across the railroad. From passenger train names to stations, the Santa Fe led the pack in selling the American southwest as a vacation destination. To carry the flavour of the old west, many stations and their attached or adjacent freight station (including brick ones) were reworked with pinkish-tan stucco walls, tile roofs and mission-style trim to resemble traditional adobe buildings. While the depot was a Santa Fe design, similarly styled depots and freight houses were used on several railroads. This easy-to-build kit includes the realistic stucco structure, window glazing, wood trim, a brick platform and realistic printed signs. Several of these structures still stand in 2017 even in locations where the depot is long gone and most have been repurposed for other uses including MOW storage buildings, so the Mission-Style Freight House will look great on any layout set between the 1930s and the present.
