Walton & Sons Lumber, Walthers

The Walthers Cornerstone Walton and Sons Lumber Company is a great trackside business in any size city or town. Local lumber yards receive all sorts of building materials in boxcars and aboard flatcars. A great destination for steam- or diesel-era wayfreights, this model builds into a typical operation that fits almost any available space. The storage buildings, which protect lumber from the weather, are designed so that you can build one large, covered building, or two free-standing, open-sided buildings. There's a small office to handle the paperwork, which can also be placed along a busy street and used as a store and showroom. Lots of colorful sign decals for Walton and Sons Lumber Company and other business names brighten up the operation, and complete instructions make for fast and fun construction.
