Blair Line - 093 - Small Depot - Railroad Structures

Specific Item Information: Board and batten combination depot based on a Missouri Pacific prototype that stood in Boston, Missouri, just north of Carthage on the White River Line. Long since abandoned from active railroad service, this depot was moved in late 2005 from a farm field to Carona, Kansas and has undergone a complete restoration. This style of depot was also used on the Katy and other railroads. The ornate trim is a very close copy of the trim used on C&O depots. At 16' wide x 40' long this is a small size wood combination passenger and freight station that would fit nearly any size layout. Kit features laser-cut floor, sub-roof, window glazing, ornate eave and verge trim, interior and exterior walls with tab and slot connections. Includes laser-cut peel-n-stick doors, windows and trim. Windows may built in the open or closed position. HO shingles consist of our new hexagonal design laser cut on a peel-n-stick sheet with guidelines etched right on the sub-roof for easy application. The N scale shingles feature the hex shingle pattern engraved onto an adhesive backed sheet of thin plywood. Also includes signs and cast metal chimney. N scale kit dimensions: (structure footprint) 3.00" x 1.43"

Road Name History: Railroad structures include but are not limited to stations, depots, yard offices, interlocking towers and tanks. A train station, railway station, railroad station, or depot is a railway facility where trains regularly stop to load or unload passengers or freight.

It generally consists of at least one track-side platform and a station building (depot) providing such ancillary services as ticket sales and waiting rooms. If a station is on a single-track line, it often has a passing loop to facilitate traffic movements. The smallest stations are most often referred to as "stops" or, in some parts of the world, as "halts" (flag stops). Stations may be at ground level, underground, or elevated. Connections may be available to intersecting rail lines or other transport modes such as buses, trams or other rapid transit systems.
