Handling major repairs, shops are an essential part of railroads large and small. And since any kind of equipment can be seen there, a shop makes a great layout by itself or a unique part of a larger operation. With the all-new operating Transfer Table and four exciting structures, it's easy to model a complete shop facility in HO Scale.

Based on our earlier Backshop kit and sharing many architectural elements, this model is larger to handle almost any motive power. In addition to its many details, there's room on the inside for adding the Heavy-Duty Overhead Crane in the main bays, and the smaller Overhead Traveling Crane in the Annex. Used by itself, this big building is perfect for all kinds of heavy industries.
