The Model:
These structures are a must have to detail every
depot on your layout. Pump Houses, Coal Sheds, and Privies were
originally located at all depots before the use of indoor plumbing and
electricity. The Pump House had a boiler running a steam pump to fill
the water tank for refilling the locomotives and the Coal Shed supplied
the fuel. Privies were in wide use from the beginning of railroads through
the first half of the 20th century. Privies behind the depot were as
common as restrooms at a convenience store today. Just remember to latch
the door!
The Kit:
The kit includes
precise laser cut wood, tab-and-slot parts, with peel-and-stick trim,
windows, and doors, four cast metal (lead free) detail parts, and complete

Shovel, Coal Bucket Stack, Tool Pile with Saw Horse, Smoke Jack Vent, and
a Wooden Chute that would have been used to transfer shoveled coal from
the rail car into the Coal Shed window.
