Union Station Where
space was limited in larger towns and cities, two or more railroads would often
combine their resources to build and operate major terminal stations. Monuments
to the power and success of railroading, they also projected the spirit of the
community they served and the promise of excellent service for anyone who traveled
by train. Now, Walthers unveils the all-new Union Station, a fitting
tribute to the grand terminals that served railroading for over 100 years. Whether
your line runs heavyweights and steam, the flashy diesel streamliners of the 40s
and 50s, or any of the colorful schemes and equipment of the Amtrak-era, Union
Station is an ideal focal point for passenger operations. Designed to
capture the look and feel of similar prototypes across America, it puts big detail
in a small space without overwhelming your layout. If space is limited, it can
be the focal point of operations for an entire layout. And best of all, this unique
kit is based on an American prototype, so it looks right and fits perfectly without
kitbashing. All the classic design elements are here, from the tall
support columns to the nonworking clock on the roof. Each wall captures the look
of cut-stone construction and is molded in color so painting is an option. Separate
doors and windows, along with molded-in cut lines on the back of each wall simplify
customizing. The large roof is neatly detailed with large skylights and numerous
vents to make it more realistic. End-door canopies, realistic decals and many
other details are also included. Complete your station scene with the
Butterfly Style Station Platform Shelters (WAL-933-3258),
sold separately. Measures Approximately: 16" x 6" x 5½"
