#618
The
Illinois Central built a series of new, smaller
depots during the post WWII era as a cost savings
measure. Many of the company’s 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.

Southern Pacific Depot
Over
70 Two Story Combination Type 22 depots were
built by the Southern Pacific Railroad between
1899 and 1910. They were more commonly found
in California, but examples were also located
in Texas, Arizona, Utah, Oregon, and Nevada.
A prominent feature of the Type 22 depot
is the two-story high rectangular shaped
bay window. The structure, which exhibited
horizontal wood siding, typically measured
25 feet wide. The second story, with the
same width of 25 feet, was usually 32 feet
in length or longer. The freight room was
built long enough to accommodate the SP’s
anticipated business at that location and
ranged in size from 30 to 84 feet in length.
Other variations between Type 22 depots also
existed such
|
as
loading dock size, window and door arrangements,
and roof design as well as mirrored floor plans.
In fact, our latest N scale SP depot offering
is considered a “left hand” version
of this famous depot design due to the location
of its bay window. Examples of “left handed” Type
22s could be found in California at La Verne,
Palmdale, Grass Lake, and Chatsworth while numerous “right
hand” versions existed as well. Our structure
kit displays a 25 foot wide by 38 foot 6 inch
long two-story portion with a 42 foot long freight
room. As usual, the kit is 100% laser-cut and
utilizes Peel & Stick and Tab & Slot
construction. Features include: 3-Tab shingles,
loading dock with wood deck, positionable window
sashes, authentic gable trim, and accurately
shaped brackets. Optional detail parts include
bay ticket window and three different chimney
styles so the modeler can best match the model
to the prototype they are representing on their
layout. The assembled structure measures 6.75” long
x 2.75” wide x 2.5” high. The loading
dock adds 2.75” to length and 0.75 “ to
width.
