Walthers Cornerstone Series® N Scale Santa Fe-Style Brick Depot w/Freight House 11-3/8 x 3-7/8 x 2-1/4" Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)What a beautiful model; however, the picture on the package is definitely misleading. First, it would take an EXPERT modeler with the patience of Job and extremely good eye-hand coordination to glue all the parts together perfectly. Second, although the parts are molded in colors, the picture on the box has obviously had some expert painting applied in addition to the molded plastic. At this size of model (N scale), flaws show up very easily and these model pieces are not as forgiving as HO scale and larger. If you are an expert modeler and take the time to sand the parts down, can glue very carefully, and know how to weather/upgrade a basic model kit with some paint, then you will be fine. Otherwise, stick to built-ups!

The new Cornerstone Series N Scale Santa Fe-Style Brick Depot, Santa Fe-Style Brick Freight House and Santa Fe-Style Brick Depot w/Freight House combination kit bring a much-requested family of structures to N Scale. This new model is based on depots built systemwide on the Santa Fe circa 1908. The depot features brick construction with a large arched window on the operator's bay, wood eave supports and a tile roof. The matching freight house was where express shipments were handled. In most cases it was attached, and the depot kit includes an extra end wall to allow for this. The freight house kit can also be built as a freestanding facility. Several depots had an expanded freight room that can be modeled by combining several freight houses. The combination kit includes the depot and one freight house. While the depot is based on a common Santa Fe depot, it's similar to structures used by several western railroads, so it'll look at home on almost any layout.
