HO (1/87) Scale Trenton Depot Kit
This kit is based on a standard CB&Q Depot design
built in 1886 and although in a state of disrepair
is still standing in Trenton, Nebraska today
complete with its original stamped steel shingle
roof. The building was originally built with a
signalman’s bay window on the track side and no
addition on the end. Later, as signals became more
modernized the signalman’s bay window was removed
and a freight addition was built onto the end of the
original structure. Our kit includes both the
signalman’s bay window and the addition so that you
may model an early or later version of this classic
depot. Examples of this depot were found in many
small towns along the CB&Q right of way. The
building had indoor passenger waiting area/ticket
counter and a separate outdoor entrance leading to
the station master’s living quarters located on the
second floor. As a side note, while doing research
for this kit we actually were able to speak with an
elderly woman who was born upstairs in the Trenton
Depot while her father was the station master. The
station master and his family were expected to live
on the premises as part of his employment with the
railroad.
This depot kit includes 4 main resin castings that
make up the entire depot building and addition
assembly. The main building consists of a 1-piece
wall casting, complete with wood grain planks and
nail holes and a 1 -piece roof casting complete with
all shingles cast in place. No hours spent gluing
walls together and sticking on endless strips of
shingles. The same is true with the addition as well
as the 1-piece signalman’s bay window. As with all
of our high quality, super detailed, resin kits all
the hard work has been done for you including resin
castings with little or no flash requiring very
little cleanup. This kit literally assembles in
minutes! After assembly, all that is needed is to
paint, insert doors and windows and place on your
layout. To complete this kit we have included a 2
piece herringbone pattern brick platform, 2 resin
brick chimneys, 6 highly detailed resin
crates (also
available separately), 6
highly detailed resin
trunks
(also
available separately), signs, stencil, 1
Baggage Cart by Jordan Highway Miniatures (that
include 6 pieces of hand luggage) and 28 Grandt Line
door and window castings complete with our laser cut
glazing material. This kit easily builds into a
beautiful depot that looks like you spent weeks
painstakingly scratch building... only you will know
how easy it really was. Dimensions of building and
addition are 11½ x 3¾” and the platform is 12 x 1½”.
