Kestrel Designs - GMKD1002 - Railroad Work Shop - Railroad Structures - Locomotive Works Kit

Specific Item Information: This Kestrel kit builds up into an impressive structure that would give any location the kudos of becoming a “railway town”.

Great towns and cities such as Swindon, Crewe, and even Brighton became known as such, because not only were the loco works often the largest buildings in the area, they were also the major employer.

Road Name History: Railroad structures include but are not limited to stations, depots, yard offices, interlocking towers and tanks. A train station, railway station, railroad station, or depot is a railway facility where trains regularly stop to load or unload passengers or freight.

It generally consists of at least one track-side platform and a station building (depot) providing such ancillary services as ticket sales and waiting rooms. If a station is on a single-track line, it often has a passing loop to facilitate traffic movements. The smallest stations are most often referred to as "stops" or, in some parts of the world, as "halts" (flag stops). Stations may be at ground level, underground, or elevated. Connections may be available to intersecting rail lines or other transport modes such as buses, trams or other rapid transit systems.
