American Model Builders #717 Laser Cut Boxcar Depot Kit
As car builders turned to steel for the construction of freight equipment in the early 1900's, railroads found themselves with a surplus of older wooden cars. One option was to utilize retired boxcars as storage facilities and small depots either as temporary or permanent structures. Our kit represents the depot conversion with waiting room, office, and freight room. Also included is a boxcar to be used as a freight house or storage shed. Both structures feature laser scribed siding, tab & slot construction, Peel & Stick windows/doors and white metal smoke jack. Each measures 5"L x 1.25"W x 1.5"H..
