Description
Two sheds per kit.
Based on information supplied by the L&N Railroad Historical Society, these standard tool houses were used for storing handcars, tools, and supplies required for the construction and maintenance of the track and roadbed on the railroad. To a lesser extent they could also provide short-term shelter for track crews during inclement weather or used as the section foreman’s workshop. Generally, these small structures were located along the mainline, at sidings, and in yards at intervals of 3 to 10 miles apart, according to how a particular railroad sectioned off its trackage – so hundreds of these little sheds were utilized. This set of two Tool Shed kits features laser-cut parts with board and batten wall siding, rolled roofing, exposed rafter tails, positionable track side doors, interior flooring, and code 70 rail for the handcar setoff.

Each finished shed measures 1.75” wide x 2.25” deep x 1.5” high.
