Kanamodel Products - HO Scale - Premium Wood Kits - Canadian National Freight Shed (Discontinued When Sold Out At Kanamodel) (SKU 436-1010)

In the early days of railroading almost all stations had what was called a "team track". This siding was for small railroad customers who could load or unload from the boxcars of the day. They were referred to as team tracks as early customers came with wagons drawn by "teams" of horses. (The driver was referred to as a "teamster" which is where the teamsters union got its name). This small freight shed was designed to allow the loading or unloading of freight and LCL parcels out of the weather. The prototype for this kit was a standard CNR design used throughout the system. It was measured and photographed in downtown Toronto in the mid-1980's although it had not been used for years and was abandoned. Although modern methods made these buildings redundant they can be used even on contemporary layouts as derelects. This kit features cast rafters, a laser cut platform with the holes cut out, tar and gravel roofing material, etc. We thank the Ontario Society of HO Model Engineers for the assistance in developing this kit. The footprint of the HO scale model is 12" x 3".
