The Walthers Cornerstone HO Scale Water Street Freight Terminal is a great addition to your railway scenery, suitable for North American steam or diesel - era railroads from the early 1900s to the 1970s and beyond. This easy - to - build plastic kit comes in the right colors. It measures 20 - 1/2 x 6 - 1/4' (52 x 15.8cm). The kit includes a brick office building, a freight house with loading docks for freight cars and trucks, along with crates, barrels, and pallets. It also has loading docks and canopies. This freight terminal was crucial for railroads, handling less - than - carload lot (lcl) shipments. Loads were transferred from boxcars or reefers to trucks for local delivery. In modern times, these structures have found new uses, like trucking terminals or restaurants. The retail price is $34.98, on sale for $29.98, and it's in stock at Walthers. The dealer price is $20.99, on sale for $19.94, with a 43% discount. You can download the instruction sheet (4826 K bytes, PDF format).

Using this Walthers Water Street Freight Terminal model kit is easy. First, take out all the parts from the box. You'll notice they're molded in appropriate colors, so you don't have to paint them right away. Start by assembling the brick office building and the freight house with the loading docks. Attach the canopies to the loading docks. Then place the crates, barrels, and pallets around the terminal to make it look more realistic. When handling the parts, be gentle as they're plastic and can break if you're too rough. To keep your model in good condition, store it in a dry place away from direct sunlight. If it gets dirty, you can use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe it down. Avoid using any harsh chemicals as they might damage the colors or the plastic. Have fun creating your own railway scenery with this great kit!
