When the Burlington wanted something to last, they had it made out of concrete! These small, yet ubiquitous concrete instrument houses (also known as signal houses or signal shacks) were no exception, many still serving today on the BNSF! Used system-wide, these virtually indestructible buildings housed electrical signal equipment and were often found near grade crossings. Q Connection is offering a kit of the 6' 6" x 9' 6" version.

Kit 163

Perhaps the most common structure found throughout the CB&Q system, this Sectional Tool House design dates back to 1929. Almost every section gang had at least one of these to house their tools, handcars or their speeders. Quite similar in appearance to Tool Houses found on other roads, examples of the original CB&Q Tool House still exist to day on the Burlington Northern - Santa Fe. Features all laser-cut parts, Peel & Stick windows, doors, and trim, and parts for building a traditional set-off. Two complete kits per box. Each measures 2" L x 1 3/4" W x 1 1/2" H. (Includes 2 Tool Houses).
