American Model Builders 676 N Scale SP Type 22 Two-Story Depot Building Kit

This is American Model Builders 676 SP 2 Stry Dpt Type 22 Lft. SP Type 22 two-story combination depot, left hand, laser cut wood kit. Over 70 two story combination Type 22 depots were built by the Southern Pacific Railroad between 1899 and 1910. They were more commonly found in California, but examples were also located in Texas, Arizona, Utah, Oregon, and Nevada. A prominent feature of the Type 22 depot is the two-story high rectangular shaped bay window. The structure, which exhibited horizontal wood siding, typically measured 25 feet wide. The second story, with the same width of 25 feet, was usually 32 feet in length or longer. The freight room was built long enough to accommodate the SP’s anticipated business at that location and ranged in size from 30 to 84 feet in length. Other variations between Type 22 depots also existed such as loading dock size, window and door arrangements, and roof design as well as mirrored floor plans. In fact, this N scale SP depot is considered a "left hand" version of this famous depot design due to the location of its bay window. Examples of "left handed" Type 22s could be found in California at La Verne, Palmdale, Grass Lake, and Chatsworth while numerous "right hand" versions existed as well. Its key features are: Displays a 25' wide by 38' 6 long two-story portion with a 42' long freight room 100% laser-cut Peel & stick and tab & slot construction 3-tab shingles Loading dock with wood deck Positionable window sashes Authentic gable trim Accurately shaped brackets Optional detail parts include bay ticket window and three different chimney styles so the modeler can best match the model to the prototype they are representing on their layout Dimensions: 6.75 long x 2.75 wide x 2.5 high The loading dock adds 2.75 to length and 0.75 to width
