The Walthers Cornerstone Union Pacific-Style Depot models a classic wooden combination passenger and freight station that looks at home on steam, transition, or diesel-era layouts. While based on a UP design, very similar stations served railroads coast to coast, so this depot fits almost any North American prototype. Wood walls with wainscoting, an operator's bay, baggage room doors, and printed station name signs all come molded in appropriate colors plus clear window glazing.

Is this a UP-only depot, or does it work for other railroads?
It's based on a UP design, but nearly identical wooden combination depots served railroads across North America from the steam era through diesel — so it fits most layouts regardless of road name.
Does it come painted and assembled?
No — it's an unpainted, unassembled plastic kit molded in appropriate colors plus clear window glazing. You can build it straight from the box, with painting and weathering optional.
What glue do I need?
Any standard plastic model cement (such as Testors, Tamiya Extra Thin, or Plastruct Plastic Weld) works well on this styrene kit. Walthers includes a printed instruction sheet.
Why two styles of eave brackets?
The kit includes both eastern and western-style eave brackets and trim so you can match the regional architectural style of your railroad's prototype — just pick the set you want during assembly.
