Blair Line - 095 - Small Depot - Railroad Structures

Specific Item Information: The pagoda style or flared roof eaves along with the bay window on the front make this a unique, but very attractive station. This style of roof was an inexpensive way to add interest to an otherwise common structure and was used by the Rock Island, Frisco and several other railroads. This is a medium size wood combination passenger and freight station. The prototype had exterior walls of lap siding with a wainscot of novelty siding. Structure is based on a Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific (Rock Island) Standard Depot but was also found on the Frisco and other railroads. The prototype was located in Gerald, Missouri and has been restored and is still in use today by the city of Gerald. Kit features laser-cut floor, sub-roof, interior and exterior walls with tab and slot connections. Also includes laser-cut peel-n-stick doors, windows, window glazing and roofing for easy assembly. Peel-n-stick trim comes in one piece for each side of the structure and the bay windows making for a fast and precise application of all the detailed trim work. Also includes signs and cast metal chimney. Guidelines for the roll roofing are etched on the wood sub-roof for easy installation of roofing. N scale kit dimensions: (structure) 1.80" x 3.60"

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.
