The Blair Line Handcar Setoff is a great kit for adding detail along your N Scale railroad's mainline. Before motorized maintenance vehicles became common, railroad handcars were used by track crews to inspect and maintain rail lines. Small setoffs built alongside the tracks allowed handcars, and later speeders, to be safely removed from the main line when trains approached, making them a common feature along railroads for decades. The Blair Line Handcar Setoff kit features precision laser-cut wood construction with finely detailed timber components for an authentic lineside structure. Perfect for steam-era and early diesel layouts, the Handcar Setoff adds a realistic maintenance detail to any right-of-way.
