PIKO HO Buildings – Essential Structures for Realistic Model Railways
PIKO HO Buildings – Essential Structures for Realistic Model Railways
When building an HO scale railway, the trains are only half the story. The surroundings – stations, sheds, houses, and workshops – bring the miniature world to life. Among the most trusted names in the hobby, PIKO offers a wide selection of buildings and accessories that combine authenticity, ease of assembly, and affordability.
PIKO 61823 – Locomotive Shed "Burgstein"
The PIKO 61823 Burgstein locomotive shed is one of the most popular kits for HO layouts. With its stone-style detailing and rustic appearance, it’s suitable for depots, industrial zones, or rural railway stops. Measuring 36.2 × 25.4 × 5.6 cm and standing 22.5 cm tall, it’s an impressive addition to any layout.
