Scale Steel 3-Panel Bus Shelter – OO / 4mm scale

This steel-panelled bus stop shelter kit is a detailed and realistic representation of the municipal shelters that were a common sight on UK roads from the 1960s to the 1990s. These shelters were frequently installed by local authorities and could be found in both urban and rural areas, as well as on railway station platforms, particularly in regions like Yorkshire and South London. Whether you are creating a layout or diorama from the 1960s, 70s, 80s, or 90s, this kit is an ideal addition to enhance the authenticity of your scene.

Printed in fine detail using PLA, the kit comes with everything you need for assembly, including clear glazing to mimic real shelter windows, cut-out timetables, and easy-to-follow instructions. The design features openings in diagonally opposite corners, replicating the iconic style of these shelters. The back wall includes a bench seat for waiting passengers, while the plain end wall features two timetable cases, allowing you to insert the included timetables or create your own custom advertisements to reflect your specific model setting.

Assembly is incredibly straightforward, with just three main components: the side panels, which come pre-aligned on a sprue, and the roof. The sides are glued together, and after the roof is attached, the sprue can be removed, leaving you with a fully formed shelter. Adding the glazing completes the look. With minimal effort required to put it together, you can focus on painting the model with acrylics or enamels to match the color scheme of your layout.

This bus shelter kit offers a practical, highly detailed, and easy-to-build solution for anyone looking to recreate the everyday infrastructure of British streets or railway platforms, bringing a touch of realism to any model scene set in the late 20th century.
