Walthers Cornerstone Aunt Lucy's House Train

Great little house

I found that all of Walther's Kits are great quality with Superb detail.

Went together well but am not a fan of molded in color.

Great for train looks like a real house

I don't have a model train layout, but I do like building models, so I thought I would give this a try. I have only started and so far I am very impressed with the quality of the kit. Even though this is a snap kit, I am using some glue to make sure it stays together. Nice having the plastic molded in three colors and providing the option of putting a paper window treatment in the windows. This is really a starter, easier kit for the novice. That is why I went with this house. It does include a light kit, which I am not sure I will use, but it is nice having the option. I may do a little bit of painting here and there and some weathering to make it even look better. So far this has been an enjoyable way to pass the time....

This was the best and easiest to assemble scale model I've ever built for an H.O. train. All the pieces snapped together easily and the end result is both sturdy and good looking. Very glad that Walthers makes these realistic and highly detailed kits!

The house is perfect for a rural scene where house could have been part of a farm scene. Compact building that should fit in a transition or older neighborhood area. Mine came with a window modification that allows the rooms to light up in depth and an LED light for the window, which means I also have to paint the interior a light blocking colour on the interior walls. My only difficulity is the blue trim on corners and roof edges of the house which I will paint out before assembly

First impression: Came in an opened box ???? Like it had been returned and resold. Was worried peices were missing, but actually I ended up with extra peices that had no place or reason for being in the box? Assembly: Easy to assemble the main house. Everything snapped together nicely. However, the front porch falls apart if you just breathe in its direction. The chimney (In photo above) does not snap in and leaves a huge gap. The holes for it were not drilled properly. I will have to redo the holes, and super glue the porch. Not happy about that. The chimney did not even match the roof color. Quality: Cheap plastic, and poorly painted. I will have to sand the edges and paint the whole thing. Feels like it could break very easily. Added bonuses: It comes with a cool lighting system that you can add to the windows. Whalters is suppose to be a pretty popular company for models, but I was honestly sent junk. I will give them another try with a different model soon, but right now this is awful. I am borderline about to return it if a few modifications can't fix this mess they charge outrageous prices for. I am sure there are better companies to throw my money at. Or just make my own.

Quick excellent very happy

Parfait pour un layout de train miniature

Esta casa es genial. Fácil de armar, son pegamento y con muchos detalles. La Recomiendo al 100%

Hello Nice kit,have not put it together yet but it looks fairly simple and young kids/adults will have few problems. I have found a very light streak of blue paint across one white wall section,no biggy,I can live with it as it is very very light. Windows all have the glass preinstalled all you need to do is put the paper drapery were you want it. The colours are very vivid and you may want to paint the decking,hand rails, chimney etc just to dull them down. This kit does not come with any lights, only window boxes to hold any lights you may want to add. The kit for the lighting is 12 shadow boxes and a few resistor,kinda useless unless you have the lights and circuit board to use with them. The kit is very nice and well constructed even without the actual lights. Well worth the money if you can get it on sale and want to weather it up a bit for more realism. I like it. Thanks

Es fácil de armar, no se requiere pegamento ni pintura y quedó perfectamente para mi maqueta de trenes ho.
