The Whistle Stop

Station Depot

$310

Made to order · 4–5 weeks

A train needs somewhere to arrive. The Whistle Stop is a freestanding depot with maple walls, black walnut corner posts and window frames, and a deep overhanging roof laid up from individual thin cedar shingles — about ninety of them per roof.

The covered platform runs the full length of one side on turned maple posts, wide enough to park the whole Division Set under cover. A small solid brass clock face is let into the gable.

It is the longest build in the collection and the easiest to make your own — the shingle colour and the position of the clock both change without changing the price.

Adding a piece starts a quote — it does not charge you. We reply within two business days with a firm price and a build date.
