Yard Office & Shed

Milwaukee, Wis. - Walthers announces the addition of the new N Scale Yard Office and Shed kit. This Cornerstone Series model, #933-3822, will be available in September 2007 priced at $44.98.

To switch crews, the yard office is the center of their workplace. An indispensable structure in any yard, it's where they get their switch lists, job assignments and safety briefings.

Based on a real brick structure used by the Milwaukee Road, the new Cornerstone Series® Yard Office will be at home on any steam- or diesel-era layout. Constructed before 1950, the building incorporated a unique exterior of multicolored brickwork. The main walls were regular red brick, while light brick trim was added along the windows, doors, corners and elsewhere, a striking departure from the usual single color brick used on many structures.

While the new building is called a Yard Office, it's perfect for any small business. It could easily be the office for a fuel, coal or grain dealer, a contractor or the administration building of a large industrial complex. It's also ideal for businesses like photo processors, cobblers or TV and radio repair shops. Following its career in railroading, the prototype became a fish market!

Most bridge and building crews, signal maintainers and car or engine service employees work at freight yards. Buildings to store their specialized tools and supplies can be found where they are easily served by road and rail. In addition to the Office, this new kit includes parts to build a Large Shed, which can serve as an oil house, stores building, caboose supply facility or any small industrial warehouse.
