| The Illinois
Central built a series of new, smaller depots during the post
WWII era as a cost savings measure. Many of the companys older
deports were in need of extensive repairs and the decline of passenger
service on several lines made it more economical to tear down
the original structure and then build a replacement out of new
and salvaged lumber. The type A, represented by our newest N
scale kit, was one of the largest of the four standard designs
measuring 36-3 in length and 16-3 wide at the end walls. It
had a separate waiting room for passengers, an office for the
agent, and an express-baggage-freight area. Kit #618 features
custom laser-scribed and cut plywood walls and roof, white metal
chimney, and a screen door on the passenger waiting room as well
as Peel & Stick windows (with individual sashes), doors, trim,
and 3-Tab shingles. The kit may be built with either the passenger
waiting room on the left or right hand side. The assembled IC
depot measures 3 long x 1.5 wide x 1.25 high. |
