Blair Line - 084 - Scale House - Railroad Structures - 1-Pack

Specific Item Information: This structure is based on a C&O Railway prototype scale house in Lynchburg, Virginia but would be suitable on nearly every railroad. The railroads revenue was based on the weight of each freight car, so every car needs to pass over a set of scales at some point in its journey. Scales and scale houses, such as the one in this kit, are important features on almost all railroads. Scale houses were located all across the railroads, mostly in yards or near a large shipper or mine. This structure would also make a great guard shack or storage shed for your industries or a chicken house for your farm scene. Kit features laser-cut board and batten walls, door, floor, and sub-roof. Includes laser-cut peel-n-stick trim and roofing for easy assembly. Also includes a laser-cut scale for the interior. N scale kit dimensions: .50" x 1.00"

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.
