Amazing 1/87 Scale Sheds and Shacks Have Just Arrived from Woodland Scenics!

Fun NEW HO Scale sheds and shacks from Woodland Scenics are here! These Built and Ready items are perfect additions to your HO train layouts or dioramas. Their weathered walls, windows, and doors make them look incredibly realistic. Each style is unique and will work great along railroad tracks, behind houses, and in many other places.

#BR5057 - 1/87 Scale
Work Shed - HO Scale - Built and Ready - ABS Lightweight Plastic

The Work Shed is nothing too fancy - just a red, four-walled building with enough room for a shelf and two windows. It includes shake shingles, a smokestack, exterior storage box, and a stockpile of wood for those colder days.

#BR5058 - 1/87 Scale
Wood Shack - HO Scale - Built and Ready - ABS Lightweight Plastic

The bright green door is a little rugged now and the wood-paneled walls could use a good wash, but it is still as secure as the day it was built. The Wood Shack includes a raised foundation with two staggered steps up to a padlocked door, asphalt shingles, and two barrels once used for collecting rain water.

#BR5056 - 1/87 Scale
Tin Shack - HO Scale - Built and Ready - ABS Lightweight Plastic

The Tin Shack's rusted metal walls and weather-beaten door show its true age after standing tall for nearly thirty years through rain, sun, and snow. This building includes a corrugated metal roof, walls with a little rust, and a wooden door. A barrel of iron and an old wheel can be seen leaning against the wall.

Here at 3000toys.com, we are constantly looking for new, interesting, and exciting items that you will love. We have the privilege to present a new release from Herpa that fits nicely into all three of those categories! Let us introduce you to the 1/87 Scale Liebherr LR 1600/2 Crawler Crane!

#303545 - 1/87 Scale
October / November Arrival
Liebherr LR 1600/2 Crawler Crane

This monster crane, built to scale of high quality plastic with some diecast parts, stands just about 3 feet tall! Built with the care you have come to expect from Herpa, this crane stands as a monolithic centerpiece to any HO train layout and is set apart as a beautiful piece for your collector showcase!

As you can see to the right, there is great care taken to replicate the foundation of this tall crane, with diecast metal in the tracks and beautifully painted metal counterweights.

Detail matters! Immense time was taken in design and production for the model to reflect the complexity and versatility that the Liebherr name is so often associated with.
