KNLS - Goods shed Heerde

The Apeldoorn-Zwolle railway line ('Baronnenlijn') was constructed between 1887 and 1889 by the Royal Dutch Local Railway Company (Koninklijke Nederlandsche Locaalspoorweg-Maatschappij). The line earned its nickname 'Baronnenlijn' (Barons' Line) from the many (noble) dignitaries who lived in the towns along the railway.

In 1913, a branch line from Hattem to Kampen Zuid was added. This line quickly proved unprofitable and was closed in 1933. In 1950, passenger transport on the rest of the Baronnenlijn was also halted. The former railway line has now largely been asphalted and is used as a cycle path.

Along the railway line, mainly standard KNLS stations were built. Het Loo received a unique design in 1886. In Apeldoorn and Hattemerbroek, existing stations of the HSM and NCS, respectively, were used. Epe, Heerde, and Hattem received large first-class station buildings.

In Vaassen, a standard second-class station building was constructed. Emst and Wapenveld received a third-class station building. Kampen Zuid received a station building in the style common to the HSM in 1913. This building was demolished after just over twenty years. Except for the station buildings of Wapenveld, Heerde, and Vaassen, all buildings were demolished after the closure of the Baronnenlijn in the early 1970s.

Each station had its own integrated small goods shed. Two stations received a separate goods shed, namely Epe and Heerde. The sheds differ in a few details, but generally share the same design.

Each model comes with a step-by-step manual and a list of required paints.
