Walthers Cornerstone HO Scale PRR Block and Interlock Station Kit

The Pennsylvania Railroad was renowned for its distinctive structures, and the Walthers Cornerstone HO Scale PRR Block and Interlocking Station captures the quintessential appearance of the railroad's buildings. Brick towers were strategically placed along the Pennsy's lines at busy junctions, interlockings, and other block stations, where operators coordinated the movement of trains through complex track arrangements by manipulating signals and turnouts. These towers were not exclusive to the Pennsy, as they were also used by railroads affiliated with its successors, Penn Central and Amtrak, and can be found on other railroad systems as well. Fortunately, a few of these towers have been preserved by historical societies in the modern era.

The PRR Block and Interlocking Station kit boasts accurate Flemish Bond brick walls, a concrete foundation, and a realistic operator's bay, making it an ideal component for creating a realistic scene alongside other Cornerstone HO Scale railroad buildings. This plastic PRR blockhouse station kit features an authentic design that was widely used on many railroads, with correct Bond Brickwork, a Bay Window, and other intricate details molded in four colors and clear. The kit measures 2-7/8 x 3-1/8 x 4-7/8 inches (6.1 x 7.9 x 12.3 cm) and has been newly tooled to ensure precision and quality.

The authentic PRR design is reminiscent of the towers used on numerous other railroads, and the kit includes signage for the Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR), Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines (PRSL), Penn Central (PC), Amtrak, and the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR). The Flemish Bond brickwork, bay window, and other meticulously crafted details contribute to the kit's exceptional realism. Molded in four colors and clear, this hobby-grade product is securely packed for protection during shipping, but users should still handle it with care when removing it from the packaging to avoid potential breakage.
